4 What is Sustainable Facility Management? Strategy and Tools The things you really need to know! Case Studies

5 Sustainability is the ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. [Brundtland] d] World Commission on Environment and World Commission on Environment and Development: Our Common Future April 1987

6 The Triple Bottom Line People Planet Triple Bottom Line ECONOMIC Profit

7 People FM Place Process Sustainability Sustainable Facility Management is a process of integrating the people, p place and business of an organization that optimizes economic, environmental, and social benefits of sustainability.

8 Why Are Existing Buildings Important? 76 million residential and 5 million commercial buildings in the U.S. These Buildings Consume: 40% of all energy used in U.S. 76% of all electricity These Buildings Generate: 36% of total CO 2 emissions 2

10 The Financial Case for Facilities Corporate Headquarters Model $550,000,000 $450,000,000 $350,000,000 $250,000,000 $150,000,000 $50,000,000 Total Cost of Ownership This represents the growth in total cost of ownership over 50 years Mid-Rise, 400, square feet Year Design & Construction Costs (CRV): $47,600,000* Capital Renewal: 2% of CRV** O&M Budget $6.30/sf*** Inflation: 3% * RS Means 2009 Square Foot Costs ** National Research Council, Committing to the Cost of Ownership: Maintenance & Repair of Public Buildings *** IFMA Benchmarks #32 Headquarters Average

11 The Financial Case for Facilities Total Cost of Ownership In Terms of Total Dollars... Total Cost of Ownership 74% 12% 14% Design & Construction Capital Renewal O&M D&C: $47M CR: $54M O&M: $284M Total: $385M

12 The Financial Case for Facilities Total Cost of Ownership Savings in O&M and Capital Renewal... Total Cost of Ownership 12% 14% Design & Construction Capital Renewal O&M Savings D&C: $47M Total $ CR: $54M $ 3M 74% Save 5% in Cap. Renewal O&M: $284M $28M Total: $385M $31M Save 10% in O&M... A good reason to be green!

13 The Financial Case for Facilities In Terms of Total Dollars (Millions)... With modest operational and capital cost savings Building Savings $31 Building Cost $385 $0 $1,000 $2,000 $3,000 $4,000

14 The Financial Case for Facilities What about People? Typical design and construction costs account for only about 2% of an organization s total cost to exist. Life-Cycle Costs of a Facility 6% 2% 92% Salaries of Occupants Cost of Operating and Maintaining Original Design and Construction The Cost of Productivity Average annual cost for Personnel: $ /sf For facilities: $20/sf For energy: $2.50/sf (Cotts, D.G., The Facility Management Handbook, Second Edition, 1999)

15 Productivity (People) Cost In Terms of Total Dollars (Millions)... People Savings $350 What about this? People Cost $3,500 Building Savings $31 We know this is possible. Building Cost $385 $0 $1,000 $2,000 $3,000 $4,000

16 Environmental Cost? Quick Facts Buildings use $200 billion worth of electricity and natural gas each year. If the energy efficiency of U.S. buildings improved by 10 percent, Americans would save about $20 billion and reduce greenhouse gases equal to the emissions from about 30 million vehicles The energy used by commercial and industrial buildings in the U.S. is responsible for nearly 50 percent of our national emissions of greenhouse gases See: ENERGY STAR Challenge
