This VO provides an overview of the different definitions of facility management (FM) based on common standards. Based on an analysis of the needs of users, operators and owners, FM is presented as an interdisciplinary management strategy for real estate optimization. The requirements for civil engineers and architects resulting from a life cycle-oriented view of the property are explained. The focus of the lecture is on planning and subsequent building management, in which FM is integrated from the earliest possible phase. Strategies for the optimal introduction and position of FM in a company are then presented. Based on this, the following processes, among others, are shown in FM:
- Conception and planning of buildings with regard to FM
- Operation (maintenance, repair, etc.)
- Real estate management (agent and property manager)
- Target costing and FM
- Benchmarking
- Digitization in FM. What are IoT, AI, Ml etc and how will they change operations in the future?
