Translate "Decarbonizing the Built Environment"
Author: David Handwork, P.E., CEFP
Published In: Facilities Manager
Date: July/August 2022
Energy management. Utility optimization. Sustainability. Environmental stewardship. Green operations. Net Zero Energy. Carbon neutrality. These topics have been integrated into facilities management operations for more than 40 years, starting during the energy crisis of the 1970s. Facilities professionals should have a solid understanding of the context and outcomes of these topics, but most of the definitions (the “what”) and execution strategies (the “how to”) vary as widely as opinions on the reasons institutions and organizations need to conserve natural resources (the “why”). Reaching a universal consensus on the “why” is an unrealistic expectation in this author’s opinion. However, the world (governments, corporations, influential environmental stakeholders) appears to be reaching a singular focus on environmental stewardship, and it has a universal title—decarbonization.
