by Rebecca Walker — February 9, 2009—The Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) International will launch a new program in April recognizing the industry’s best practices in building management and operations.
The BOMA 360 Performance Program is an online self-assessment that will evaluate properties on six major components of building management. It also benchmarks against industry standards, providing a tool that property professionals can use to demonstrate to owners, tenants and the commercial real estate community that their buildings are managed to the highest standards of excellence.
While other industry recognition programs focus on a certain aspect of building operations, such as sustainability or energy efficiency, the BOMA 360 Performance Program takes a holistic approach by evaluating all major areas of property performance, says BOMA.
Properties are evaluated in the areas of building operations and management, life safety/security/risk management, training and education, energy, environmental/sustainability, and tenant relations/community involvement. The assessment rates a building and its management on everything from water management to evacuation drills to professional development plans.
The BOMA 360 Performance Program will launch in April 2009. More information will be available online soon.
