Purpose
This paper aims to disclose the role and features of various IT systems for environmental building performance (EBP) in facilities management.
Design/methodology/approach
The study focuses on IT systems used for facilities management in four organisations. The study is based on a maximum variance case study in which the selected organisati...
Purpose
IT platforms such as integrated workplace management system (IWMS) gain higher importance in real estate management, but there is a lack of knowledge on what IWMS is and what the drivers are for its implementation in real estate organisations. The paper aims to provide knowledge on this.
Design/methodology/approach
The research combines...
This data article is the second component of the two-part study on the effects of high-resolution energy data on building life cycle assessments (LCAs) (Environmental performance assessment of the use stage of buildings using dynamic high-resolution energy consumption and data on grid composition, in press) [1]. The first part being the article ser...
The purpose of this paper is to identify research gaps and potential new topics for research in relation to the management of sustainable building renovation. The paper is based on a literature review of current research on sustainable building renovation. It analyses the research to pinpoint main focus areas and strengths, as well as identifying a...
During the use stage of buildings, their consumption of electricity has proved to influence considerably their environmental performance. The impacts associated with using electricity are directly related to the electricity grid that delivers the power and hence are also closely associated with the impacts induced by the production of each kWh deli...
In countries all over Europe the need for building renovation is receiving increased attention. One reason for this is an ageing building stock. Another reason is the need for more environmentally sustainable buildings with reductions in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions to limit the harmful climate impact. There is at the same time a...
Real estate organisations change over time, but they must always have a proper overview of their building portfolio and performance to ensure efficient facilities management. IT systems and access to valid data can provide the overview and bring other benefits to real estate organisations. The paper studies which impacts the implementation of IT sy...
Buildings as products are complex structures with a long service life compared to most other products and they induce considerable environmental impacts throughout their life cycle. The Environmental Building Performance (EBP) depends on attributes like building design, selection of building materials, building location, as well as operation and ma...
The general conference theme for EFMC 2017 is “Consolidating the Global Scope of Facility
Management” and this is also the theme of the 16th EuroFM Research Symposium, which
is organized as part of the conference. The objective of the research symposium is to present
original research that contributes to the understanding of the role of FM in organ...
Sustainable transition of the built environment construction industry is challenging the existing construction practices and business models. This article presents a framework for understanding and facilitating sustainable transition in the built environment. The framework was developed through a four years innovation project based on theories on s...
Research on the barriers for building renovation in Denmark has revealed that an important obstacle is a lack of simple and holistic tools that can assist stakeholders in prioritisation and decision-making during the early stages of building renovation projects. The purpose of this article is to present a tool - RENO-EVALUE, which can be used as de...
The landlord/tenant dilemma arises when the interests of landlords and tenants misalign and is one of the greatest barriers hindering the development of sustainable renovation of residential buildings in Europe. The aim of this research is to investigate how regulatory changes and contractual solutions can help solve the landlord/tenant dilemma in...
Research on the barriers for building renovation in Denmark has revealed that an important obstacle is a lack of simple and holistic tools that can assist stakeholders in decision-making during the early stages of projects (pre-project phases). The purpose of this paper is to present preliminary research results and ideas for the development of a t...
This article examines the decision making process related to sustainable renovation and refurbishment in buildings. The utilized methodology identifies three distinct phases in order to instigate an engagement in sustainable renovation, by means of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. In particular, the attitude of stakeholders in Sweden,...

ACES - A Concept for promotion of sustainable retrofitting and renovation in Early Stages focuses on creating an improved information basis for decision makers involved in initiating building renovation. The project is part of the European program on Value Driven Processes. It has been undertaken by The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in Denmark, The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden and Frederick Research Centre (FRC) in Cyprus. The main hypothesis of the ACES project states that there are rational reasons based on “sound economy” for performing renovation/refurbishment that will also make the building operate in a more sustainable manner. Thus, the renovation/refurbishment work will be a value-driven process that contributes to sustainable development. An alternative hypothesis is that renovation for sustainable development does not result in increased value, and consequently only occurs when the building owner is an enthusiast of energy efficiency or if regulations or subsidiaries are the drivers.
Through answering the research questions, this PhD creates the foundation for development of a methodological basis for improving environmental building performance and workplace management, and develops a prototype model for environmental building performance assessment in FM system (IWMS) KMD Atrium.
