Dalkia has recently released the Little Black Book of FM to help provide facilities managers with a handy reference to energy saving, efficiency improvement and environmental measures for cost and CO2 reduction.
Covering the commercial, industrial, manufacturing, healthcare and public sectors, the Little Black Book of FM from Dalkia includes information on both hard and soft services, incorporating energy management. This ranges from HVAC, lighting, building controls and plant equipment through to cleaning, building fabric repair and maintenance, security and site management.
The book offers key information and advice on the core FM and M&E services required within many organisations. For an organisation it is important to ensure that internal procedures such as cleaning, catering and general grounds management are as carefully maintained as vital behind the scenes services including HVAC and plant maintenance. This is to ensure that the organisation’s image and reputation are maintained among staff and visitors.
The book contains useful energy saving advice for both commercial and industrial contexts and includes advice on reducing carbon emissions to improve energy performance and contribute to a building’s EPC.
