Facilities Management (FM) is an essential discipline directly integrated into an organisation’s corporate strategy, aligning the management of facilities and services with business objectives to drive sustainability, improve energy efficiency, optimise costs, and enhance brand image. This strategic approach includes the adoption of ISO 40001 and ISO 55000 standards to ensure operational excellence and efficient asset management, guaranteeing that all FM activities contribute directly to the company’s mission and vision.
FM has a holistic view of activities within buildings, allowing for the prioritisation of energy efficiency and the implementation of cost-saving measures. The adoption of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Building Management Systems (BMS) enables real-time monitoring of energy consumption and various equipment, identifying opportunities for improvement and optimisation. The new trend of Energy Management Systems (EMS) allows for autonomous optimisation through Artificial Intelligence, achieving significant energy savings while ensuring thermal comfort and air quality.
FM is not limited to the administration of buildings and equipment; it includes the integration of systems and processes to maximise return on investment throughout the asset lifecycle. This comprehensive approach encompasses planning and execution to the operation and maintenance of resources. Moreover, effective asset management seeks synergies between different types of assets, both corporate and industrial, allowing for resource optimisation and reduction of operational costs.
The European Commission has set ambitious targets to reduce carbon emissions by 55% and building emissions by 39% by 2030. FM plays a crucial role in implementing measures that contribute to these goals, such as installing more efficient heating and cooling systems, optimising lighting management, and adopting renewable energy sources.
