This book focuses on spearheading the integration of maintainability and green facility management right from the design stage. The text introduces the concept of green maintainability, and
discusses considerations to maximize the performance by achieving resource and energy efficiency, while minimizing the total life cycle cost in embodied energy; environmental impact and
consumption of matter/energy throughout the life cycle of a facility, by "doing it right the first time".In this edition, existing chapters have been brought up to date, to include contemporary
sustainability concerns, such as: sustainability design, construction and materials, and maintainability of green features.Maintainability of Facilities is written for practitioners and
students in architecture, engineering, building, real estate, construction, project management, facilities management, quantity and building surveying.
