Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important component of the building industry. As awareness of green practices and their utilization develop, so does demand for their implementation. The Sustainable Facilities Management certificate program covers the basic elements of facility management along with related sustainability elements. From sustainable real estate development and construction to extending asset life, this program provides a comprehensive review of the essential skills required of today's facility managers. Participants will be introduced to the importance of incorporating sustainability principles into every step of facility management. Specific focus is given to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification process, green building concepts, green cleaning, commissioning, indoor air quality (IAQ), and reducing the carbon footprint of buildings. How you'll benefit
The Sustainable Facilities Management certificate program will help you learn to reduce the embodied carbon within the design, construction and operation of facilities. It is not simply an overlay on legacy facilities management. Sustainable facilities management requires a new design and a new operational paradigm for facilities. Participants will develop the skills and techniques necessary to: - Apply core sustainable principles to each step within the facilities management process
- Understand "green" definitions, standards and management tools.
- Identify means to eliminate waste
- Incorporate the latest renewable energy and conservation concepts into facilities planning
- Design, operate and maintain facilities according to sustainable practices
