WASHINGTON—-The Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) International has launched the BOMA 360 Performance Program, a new program designed to recognize commercial properties that demonstrate best practices in building operations and management.
The BOMA 360 Performance Program is an online self-assessment that will evaluate properties on six major areas of building management. The program comes at a critical time, as building owners and managers are looking to differentiate themselves from competition in a tight market.
“The BOMA 360 Performance Program...will add value to commercial buildings at a crucial time,” commented BOMA International Chair and Chief Elected Officer Richard D. Purtell, portfolio manager, Grubb & Ellis Management Services, Inc. “This program takes a holistic view of all aspects of...building operations and management.”
The holistic nature of the BOMA 360 Performance Program means that every aspect of building performance is assessed. Scores are based on how buildings measure up to an extensive checklist of best practices, including emergency and disaster planning and recovery plans, energy management, financial management, equipment maintenance and education and training. Properties are evaluated in the following areas:
·Building operations and management
·Life safety/security/risk management
·Training and education
·Energy
·Environment/sustainability
·Tenant relations/community involvement
The first class of BOMA 360 Performance Buildings will be honored at the June 29 General Session of the 2009 BOMA International Conference & The Office Building Show in Philadelphia.
