设施管理就是领导。业主和投资者越来越明智，需要合格和称职的设施经理，他们可以在高层工作，以更好地管理房地产投资组合和设施，这些资产和设施是任何企业实体的重要组成部分。设施和房地产占一般业务总资产的20％至40％。多年来，这通常是业务管理不足的领域，因为它仅反映了会计折旧，而忽略了递延维护和实际市场价值。时代在变。研究表明，当今美国普通办公楼的第一成本（建筑成本）仅占整个生命周期成本的27％。这意味着73％的设施成本是在建造之后发生的。能源成本飞涨，人们正在争先恐后地确定最佳方法来更好地管理和控制成本。在我
Facility management is all about leadership. Owners and investors are getting wiser and need qualified and competent facility managers that can work at senior levels to better manage the real estate portfolio and facilities that are a critical part of any business entity. Facilities and real estate represent 20 to 40 percent of the total assets of general business. This has typically been an under-managed area of business for many years because it has only reflected accounting depreciation and ignored deferred maintenance and actual market value. Times are changing. Studies show that the first cost (construction cost) of an average office building in the U.S. today is only 27 percent of the total life cycle cost. That means that 73 percent of facility costs take place after it is built. Energy costs are soaring and there is a scramble to determine the best ways to better manage and control costs. Adapting to new technologies in our buildings is becoming a major concern and challenge. Roofing, parking structures, safety and security continue to be important and are taking O & M funding. New contract methods and techniques are bringing new space on-line more quickly. Churn rates are up and quicker re-adaptability of space is expected. All of this adds up to the crying need for professionally trained and qualified FPM leadership. I believe that IFMA and the IFMA Recognized Programs are well positioned to provide the leaders of the future of facility management and meet this crying need.
