Thought Leaders Report 2016: Remaking the Facilities Organization [PDF]

The 2016 Thought Leaders symposium, supported in part by long-time sponsor Jacobs, focused on Remaking the Facilities Organization. The report makes the case for a customer-centric higher education facilities organization. Experts provide their insights on how a focus on the customer provides a framework for driving change. The benefits of a customer-centric focus include empowered employees, better alignment between the mission of the facilities organization and the mission of the institution, and improved stewardship of campus systems and resources. The report examines in detail how a customer-centric focus can be applied to the four major responsibilities of educational facilities organizations: 1) general administration and management; 2) operations and maintenance; 3) energy and utilities; and 4) facilities planning, design, and construction. The report defines goals within each of these areas and suggests strategies for facilities leaders to achieve them.

Building Commissioning Handbook, Third Edition

It has been more than 40 years since the inception of building commissioning (Cx) as a discrete profession. This third edition of The Building Commissioning Handbook captures the many changes in the building market that are – and will continue to be – advancing and accelerating the role and value of commissioning. The design, construction, operation, and optimization of increasingly complex building systems and assemblies requires unique and expanding skill sets along with broad and deep knowledge of building science.

 

Produced by APPA and the Building Commissioning Association, this handbook provides a sequential, phase-based approach to the building commissioning process for all who have a stake in understanding, participating, and delivering properly functioning higher education and other commercial and institutional facilities.

Thought Leaders Report 2017: Transforming Facilities to Achieve Student Success [PDF]

 The 2017 Thought Leaders report focuses on Transforming Facilities to Achieve Student Success. Student success starts with retention and graduation, but it can expand to include factors from personal career goals to social responsibility. A key message from the report is that through strategic investment in their facilities, colleges and universities can support student success, position the campus for the future, and serve as good stewards of campus assets. The report also stresses that the process must reflect the mission and vision of the campus, thus making the greatest impact possible on the college or university’s goals.

All Thought Leaders reports are free, thanks to the generosity of sponsors Jacobs, and Johnson Controls.
