Sustainable - Facilities Management (S-FM)

The pressure on organisations to reduce carbon emissions has created challenges and opportunities for Facilites Managers.  Facilites Managers are increasingly expected to deliver sustainable support services while containing or reducing operating costs.  ABS provides training that helps FM teams to implement affordable carbon reduction solutions without detriment, and often with improvement, to occupant comfort.

Sustainable Facilities Management at LSBU - 5 month training and mentoring programme October 2009, London 

Developed by ABS consulting in collaboration with London South Bank University.

ABS in collaboration with London South Bank University, has developed a Sustainable Facilities Management programme. At a time when organisations are trying to find ways to eliminate waste and reduce costs wherever possible, we are launching a new training and mentoring programme specifically designed to provide delegates with project based experience in delivering cost, energy and carbon savings: 

Delivering Sustainable Facilities Management (SFM) through project based training and learning.
Achieve Energy Efficiency, Cost Savings and Occupant Satisfaction

This interactive course requires delegates to implement a real life project of their choice that will demonstrate the benefits of SFM, ideally to be carried out within their organisation.  The programme combines classroom learning supported by mentoring whereby delegates have regular access to expert help and advice for their project throughout the 5 month programme.

The programme includes strategies that have delivered and sustained significant financial and environmental benefits for ABS’ clients. Click here to see how Imperial College Healthcare is achieving annual savings of £570,000 and 6,000tCO2 from the strategies covered in the SMF programme.

Upon completion of this SFM programme delegates will:

  • Be able to develop and present the business case for SFM
  • Be prepared for current and proposed carbon reduction regulation and legislation
  • Have implemented an SFM programme or project for their employer or other organisation
  • Understand the barriers to implementation and how to overcome them

Please refer to the course brochure for more information on the programme, delegate selection and fees.

Addressing the facilities management challenge - As business leaders step up the corporate response to the sustainability agenda, facilities managers will increasingly be asked to deliver a support service that is demonstrably sustainable and that meets the continuing demand for cost reduction. FMs are being asked to deliver greater value at lower cost. With the application of the sustainable FM process they can deliver both simultaneously. Attending this workshop will help those involved in FM achieve a cost effective safe, efficient and comfortable environment. For more information see SFM-Singapore brochure.
