Summary

This book discusses sustainability within the facility management industry, based on the realisation that most facility management businesses and departments actually find it hard to truly integrate sustainability into their strategies, tactics and day-to-day operations in a coherent way.

Rethinking Sustainability in Facilities and Workplace Management Summary

Rethinking Sustainability in Facilities and Workplace Management by Frans Melissen

  • First textbook in the literature to treat sustainability as a powerful concept to create optimal workplace experiences
  • FM is a growth area and this book pushes the boundaries to teach sustainability in a new way
  • Most other textbooks dedicated to this topic focus on describing specific best practices or case studies, that is simply not enough to take the next step in truly integrating sustainability in the facility management industry. This book seeks to do that.

Rethinking Sustainability in Facilities and Workplace Management Reviews

Many applications of sustainability to facilities are focused on a 'bolt-on' perspective rather than looking at sustainability through a lens that integrates people, place, and process. This book does it better than any published to date. - Theodore J., Weidner, Ph.D., PE, RA, NCARB, Purdue University

This book provides a refreshingly aspirational look at facilities management. It shows how a sustainable approach demands a radical rethink of what is possible. - Dr Eddy Finch, consultant and Former Editor of Facilities Management
