BOMA Launches Building Award Program
June 2009
The Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) International today announced the launch of the BOMA 360 Performance Program, a new program designed to recognize commercial properties that demonstrate best practices in building operations and management.
The program is an online self-assessment that will evaluate properties on six major areas of building management. The program comes as building owners and managers are looking to differentiate themselves from competition in a tight market.
The program is designed to assess every aspect of building performance. Scores are based on how facility managers measure up to an extensive checklist of best practices, including emergency and disaster planning and recovery plans, energy management, financial management, equipment maintenance and education and training.
Properties are evaluated in the following areas:
· Building operations and management
· Life safety/security/risk management
· Training and education
· Energy
· Environment/sustainability
· Tenant relations/community involvement.
