Gebäudemanagement

Gebäudemanagement, also known as Facility Management, is a discipline focused on the efficient and effective delivery of services within buildings and their surrounding environments. It encompasses a broad range of activities aimed at ensuring that buildings and their infrastructure are safe, functional, comfortable, and sustainable for their occupants. This includes the operation, maintenance, and administration of buildings and their systems.

The core functions of Gebäudemanagement can be categorized into technical, commercial, and infrastructural aspects. Technical Gebäudemanagement deals with the physical building and its technical systems, such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning, electrical systems, plumbing, and fire safety. Commercial Gebäudemanagement focuses on financial aspects, including budgeting, cost control, procurement, and contract management for services. Infrastructural Gebäudemanagement covers space planning, relocation services, cleaning, security, and catering.

Effective Gebäudemanagement aims to optimize the lifecycle costs of a building, enhance the productivity of its users, and contribute to the overall strategic goals of an organization. It involves planning, implementing, and controlling various services to support the primary activities of the building's occupants. A key objective is to create a high-quality working or living environment while minimizing resource consumption and environmental impact. This often involves integrating various service providers and technologies to achieve seamless operations.
