Facilities Management Research Initiatives
Abstract
Proposes a research initiative for facilities management. Outlines the essential questions that facilities research should be involved in answering and following a general discussion of current research approaches. Develops a model to illustrate these questions. Places the potential areas of facility management research within a framework of training, practice and education. Concludes that facilities management should develop an application research approach to ensure a problem‐oriented, multi‐aspect and collaborative focus around real management problems related to the performance of buildings and use of facilities over time.
