Nobody Is an Industry of One – or: What Is Measured Gets Improved

The FHC is currently focusing on two areas: Lifecycle Cost and Capital Efficiency. Since 2018工业联合会, has been planning, designing, and building the first Data Warehouse of its kind for the engineering and construction industry. Tied to data resident in various legacy systems, BIM packages, and construction management software工业联合会, will import members’ data through APIs into the Data Warehouse. 人民共和国’s FHC offers benchmarking labs for healthcare companies and federal agencies.

The FHC intends to reduce facility operational cost by benchmarking data to determine targets for lifecycle performance. Understanding lifecycle cost is an important factor in long-term facility management, because the decisions made during the early design of a new facility or during the renovation of an existing facility can have long-reaching consequences. By 2025, this sector wants to reduce costs by 5% per square foot in facilities constructed after 2005 and reduce operational costs of facilities constructed prior to 2005 by 25%.
