WHAT IS FM??
1. 'a place, amenity and piece of equipment provided for a particular purpose'
2. Premises and services required to accommodate and facilitate businesses
TYPES OF FACILITIES
1. 1. HIGH TECH = workplaces
  1. More related to technology and machinery
  2. EXAMPLES: (Power stations, data centres and industrial premises)
2. 2. HIGH TOUCH = workplaces supporting the working activities of people
  1. Related to more human activity "need for the people"
  2. EXAMPLES: (offices, serviced offices, mobile offices and home offices)
1. SPACE PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT
1. SPACE PLANNING
  1. Physical solutions
  2. Optimising space
  3. Space demand reflects space planning
2. SPACE MANAGMENT
  1. non-physical solutions
    1. Alternative workplace strategies (new work styles and workplace models as a result of advances in technology, changes in work styles and generational changes)
      1. 1. Work Location eg. working from home
      2. 2. Work Schedule eg. Flexibility
      3. 3. Office space design eg. location or providing different types of space
3. MAIN INDICATIORS OF SPACE PERFORMANCE
  1. 1. EFFICIENCY
    1. how well space is appointed as a component of total space
      1. More lettable area -> your space has been used efficiently and how well you have planned space
  2. 2. FLEXIBILLITY
    1. The changeability of physical space
      1. Flexibility to change your physical layout
        These indcators show us how we use and calculate space usage
  3. 3. SPACE UTILISATION
    1. The use of space over time, and the potential for use in future
      1. Consider time and not just space
4. CHURN
  1. The result of human resource movements, technology upgrades, specific project tasks, promotions, new business ventures and refurbishment work
    1. HIDEN EXPENSE
    2. MINIMISING CHURN IMPACT = REDUCE OPERATIONAL BUDGETS AND UNPRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES
    3. MOVE PEOPLE NOT TECHNOLOGY
2. SPACE PLANNING FOR BUILDING SYSTEMS
1. 1. Larger buildings are divided into zones
  1. PERIMETER ZONES
    1. Affected by outdoor conditions eg: outdoor temp goes up indoor temp goes up too and viceversa
    2. easy to manage an control
    3. "Interior zones remain relatively stable" (Doesn't get effected directly)
2. 2. SPACE B/N FLOOR AND CEILING
  1. PLENUM: an enclosed portion of a building structure that is designed to allow the movement of air, forming part of an air distribution system
    1. FOR: Electrical, plumbing, heating, lighting, fire-suppression and other equipment
      1. EG: Chill beams -> Reduce height -> depending on the structure you may be able to add another level.
3. 3. Service cores
  1. Common spaces contain these
    1. Contains stairs and lifts, toilets, HVAC ductwork, and electrical and plumbing spaces
      1. EXAMPLES OF TYPES
        1. Central core = High rise buildings feature these eg. offices
        2. Multiple cores = Suitable for apartment buildings, low, broad buildings to avoid long horizontal runs
        3. Dethatched cores = these are located outside of a building to save usable floor space
3. FLOOR PLANS FOR BUILDING SERVICES
1. PHASE I (up to c. 1940)
  1. Buildings depended on natural ventilation and the benefit of daylight
  2. Internal layout of the tall office buildings were characterised by individual rooms and shallow plans
  3. eg. Chrysler Building, Empire state building
  4. Narrow and all rooms usually facing the light
2. PHASE II (1940 up to 1975)
  1. Modern times "Technological innovation"
  2. Structure design - steel, glass (curtain wall), concrete
  3. Air-conditioning and artificial lighting systems
  4. Poor contextual relationship with urban culture, climate and urban design
3. PHASE III (C. 1975 to now)
  1. ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE
  2. Rethinking and redefining the environment of quality
    1. the internal environment at a micro sale
      1. The impact of tall buildings on urban environment at a macro scale
  3. Revert back to environmentally friendly buildings
    1. Good daylight throughout the building
    2. Building mass divided into two narrow blocks
    3. Natural ventilation - 80% of the year naturally ventilated
