Buildings produce more than 35% of ww CO2 emission and commuting between buildings almost 22%. So the opportunity is clear. At a recent CRE/FM congres it was predicted that in 5 years CRE/FM managers might become Corporate Sustainability Managers. Adapting Sustainability into IWMS is much more than 'just' energy consumption analyses and caculation of CO2 emissions or the implementation of LEED classifications to allow cross portfolio analyses. It's also about sustainable maintenance, smart workplace concepts, green suppliers, sustainable services (like catering and cleaning), employees awareness, waste disposal, travel policys and much more... From that perspective we consider Sustainability as a 'horizontal' on top of all IWMS functional domains. Not a separate silo, but supporting sustainability AND cost reduction from an integral perspective. This will definitely make the difference between marketing messages and delivery of usable, value adding best-practices and KPI's. Jos Knops, Planon Steven, interesting subject!
