   Facility Management Review & Rate the Courses  
Description
Facility management is a discipline that encompasses multiple disciplines to ensure functionality of the built environment by integrating people, places, processes and technology. Facility management addresses the organization’s physical plant assets and the associated infrastructure required to provide a safe, healthy and productive working environment. This includes the planning, selection, design, safety, security, operations and maintenance concerns of primary, alternate and emergency capabilities.

Sustainability has come to the forefront of strategic and operational planning for companies around the world. With energy costs on the rise and the environmental impact of buildings continues to be closely examined by corporations, communities and inhabitants, the bottom line impact of how facilities are built and managed is becoming increasingly critical. Financially, environmentally and socially, adopting sustainable practices makes good business sense.
