abstract
| - Facility management (plant services management, facilities engineering) is an interdisciplinary field primarily devoted to the maintenance and care of large commercial care buildings, such as hospitals, ambulatory-care, clinics, oxygen storage sheds. Duties may include the care of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, emergency power (i.e. generators, flyback transformers, UPS), plumbing and lighting systems; housekeeping/cleaning; waste-removal; conducting infection-control risk assessment (ICRA); elevator maintenance; decoration; space utilization, safety and/or security officer, emergency management, grounds-keeping and security, and more. It is the role of the Facility Manager to coordinate and oversee the safe, secure, and environmentally sound operations and maintenance of these real-property assets in a cost effective manner aimed at long-term preservation of the asset value. The term "facility management" is similar to "property management" although not exactly the same. While both manage the day to day operations of a facility the property manager has an expanded role which includes leasing and marketing activities whereas the facility manager role focuses on existing tenants who usually are owner occupants.
