This book describes the latest methods and tools for the management
of information within facility management services and explains how
it is possible to collect, organize, and use information over the
life cycle of a building in order to optimize the integration of
these services and improve the efficiency of processes. The
coverage includes presentation and analysis of basic concepts,
procedures, and international standards in the development and
management of real estate inventories, building registries, and
information systems for facility management. Models of strategic
management are discussed and the functions and roles of the
strategic management center, explained. Detailed attention is also
devoted to building information modeling (BIM) for facility
management and potential interactions between information systems
and BIM applications. Criteria for evaluating information system
performance are identified, and guidelines of value in developing
technical specifications for facility management services are
proposed. The book will aid clients and facility managers in
ensuring that information bases are effectively compiled and used
in order to enhance building maintenance and facility management.
This book deals with Invitations to Tender (ITTs) for the provision
of Facility Management (FM) services. It presents a framework to
support companies in preparing clear, comprehensive and effective
ITTs, focusing on such key aspects as: organizational structures,
tools and procedures for managing information, allocation of
information responsibilities, procedures for services monitoring
and control, quality policies, and risk management. It discusses
and analyzes a range of basic terms and concepts, procedures, and
international standards concerning the Tendering Process, as well
as the contents of ITTs, which should represent the translation of
information needs into requirements related to: the client's goals,
main categories of information to deal with, expected organization
of information, modalities of reporting and control, and level of
knowledge to be reached. A further major focus is on potential key
innovation scenarios concerning current FM practice, such as
Sustainable Procurement, Building Information Modeling (BIM), Big
Data and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, highlighting both
the possible benefits and the possible risks and implications that
could negatively affect the quality of FM service provision if not
properly treated within the ITT. The book will be of interest to
real estate owners, demand organizations and facility managers,
enhancing their ability to prepare, interpret and/or critically
analyze ITTs.

This book offers a valuable tool for understanding current efforts
to promote the reuse and enhancement of pre-consumer waste in the
development of new products for the construction sector, as well as
the financial and regulatory tools being used to support this
trend. It explores the vast and complex topic of the circular
economy from the perspective of strategies for the reuse/recycling
of waste, and develops a number of key premises: waste
reuse/recycling must be considered using a logic of
cross-sectoriality, recognizing the need to enhance the "dialogue"
between different sectors; pre-consumer waste is particularly
interesting for the recycling market because the construction
sector can reduce its environmental impacts by enhancing its
capacity to use secondary raw materials and by-products from other
sectors; and lastly, the manufacturing sector is currently
experimenting with promising forms of reducing/recycling
pre-consumer waste and is at the same time providing by-products
that can be used in other production chains. As such, the book
offers a valuable asset for professionals who are interested in
sustainability in construction, and in the study of construction
products; however, it will be equally useful for local
decision-makers tasked with implementing development policies and
innovations in the industrial sector.
