Green Building Management Knowledge

With the current state of climate change, damage to wildlife, and a rising threat to our natural habitat, the world is aware of the effects of our day-to-day activities on the earth.

The major culprits; greenhouse gas emissions, plastic waste, toxic compounds, and radiation come from well-known sources like vehicles, factories, and humans. However, an often overlooked source of environmental harm are buildings.

Buildings account for about 40% of the total energy consumption, ranking above the transportation and manufacturing industries. In addition to this, buildings produce over 200 million tons of waste annually.

Several sustainable practices and efforts can be made to make departments and buildings much more eco-friendly.

Part of the responsibility for the implementation of such practices falls on the shoulders of facility managers. Facility managers have the power to incorporate sustainability and apply all necessary changes required to result in a “greener” building. 

So, how do they go about achieving this?
