Facility Management and Its Importance in the Analysis of Building Life Cycle

AbstractSince buildings count for half of the primary energy sources consumption as well as half of all consumed raw materials, produce hundreds of million tons of waste and a third of the world's CO2 production, construction and building of low energy buildings has become an international trend. More than transportation, mining industry, or any other type of industry it is primarily the area of building industry and building administration that lead to better management of narrow resources as well as to the reduction of greenhouse gases emissions. In this area facility management also plays an important role. The aim of the article is via analysis of building life cycle to present possibilities of the influence of a facility manager on the investment and running costs of buildings with respect to the environmental management principle
