Environmental good practice in facilities management (C797)

There is a minimum order of five copies for this title

This guide provides practical advice for managing buildings and sites to minimise negative environmental impacts and achieve positive outcomes. It aims to be applicable to activities within the facilities management (FM) function of a building or site, and references UK legislation, practices and industry standards. Some guidance may be relevant outside the UK, but this guide has not been written with this in mind.

This guide applies to a wide variety of buildings, sites and activities, although it does not include a definitive list. It is focused on non-residential buildings, and also to the common areas and grounds of multi-residential buildings and non-specialist areas and activities in industrial, laboratory and healthcare buildings. It is not intended to apply to individual dwellings and may not apply to specialist areas such as clean rooms and operating theatres.

Users of the guide should have sufficient knowledge of the FM principles, and those using this guidance on their buildings and sites should have sufficient knowledge of the assets they are responsible for, the operations taking place, and the wider strategies and frameworks within which they exist.
