“…Based on previously defined and measurable key performance indicators, KPIs are presented (10) to obtain continuous operational insights in this loop, to support people in making decisions, and thus, control the facility services and integrated services (11). Decisions made based on measured values lead to corrective actuation (12), i.e., trigger events that occur in the operation of a building which controls equipment, trigger actuators, etc.…”

“…BIM is commonly applied in capital delivery: planning, design and construction phases, but is not used effectively [8] over the whole lifecycle, especially in the operations phase where the Facility Management (FM) falls. Data is not only incompletely available or inaccurate; thus, it is not beneficial [9] in achieving core business service outcomes as there is no comprehensive alignment of information between the built asset integrating the facility, people and core processes [10]. Although international standardisation exists for structuring, providing, and processing construction data, a lack of data alignment may be one factor for the construction industry's low efficiency and effectiveness compared to other industries.…”

Building-as-a-Service: Theoretical Foundations and Conceptual Framework

et al. 2022

The provision of data with information management are a significant challenge for the digital developing construction industry. The utilisation of data from a built asset’s planning, design, and construction phases to the operations phase core and to the facility management function of building and integration in supporting core business and support services is frequently limited due to technical obstacles in information management. The paper presents the second of three stages of design science research to propose a conceptual approach for the implementation of the “as-a-service” method for the construction industry, namely “Building-as-a-Service” (BaaS). BaaS involves a shift in the concept of services: users become recipients of services generated by the building, not only services provided in the building. The paper shows the interdependencies between these various concepts and suggests a possible framework for the inclusion of these “as-a-Service” approaches for enabling a Digital Twin based on Building Information Modelling, which is becoming mandatory in several European states. The study gathered the foundational theoretical constructs through a literature review and elucidated them to make the proposed framework feasible. The theoretical foundations comprise Building Information Modelling (BIM), the Digital Twin (DT), the interconnecting technology of smart applications and the practical application in projects. The approach of “Building-as-a-Service” in combination with smart applications can be an approach to making the use of buildings available in a resource-saving way to clients, building owners and users.

“…Both Ashworth (2020) and Shaw et al (2021) describe the emergent and under-defined nature of the FM domain. It is in this complex domain that considering the priorities of practitioners in planning development initiatives is particularly important due to its bottomup and industry-led nature (McArthur and Bortoluzzi, 2018).…”

Purpose Effective information management can help real estate operators improve asset performance during use, reducing environmental impact. The purpose of this exploratory study is to identify and prioritise key drivers, challenges and opportunities relating to information management, from the point of view of a diverse cohort of facilities practitioners, with the aim of guiding future research direction and contributing to a comprehensive domain understanding. Design/methodology/approach Nine interviews are conducted across a broad sample of RE sectors, the respondents including six facility managers and three data managers. A thematic analysis results in the identification and ranking in terms of importance of 44 emergent themes. These themes are then grouped into abstracted categories for analysis and synthesis. Findings This study indicates that systemic rather than technical issues are the greatest barrier to effective IM for facilities practitioners, the interviews providing examples of practical measures which address these challenges, promoting lifecycle thinking. Alignment is also found between the facilities and data management cohorts regarding lifecycle thinking towards both physical assets and information. Practical implications This study provides direction for future developments in the facilities sector, suggesting the pursuit to address systemic issues as being both worthwhile and feasible. Originality/value The novelty of this study is the ranking and synthesis of practitioner priorities with regard to high-level IM issues which is lacking in the literature, with a focus to-date on case-specific technical integration.

“…In line with this, leadership is required to provide and create great value in producing results in terms of procedures, knowledge, and innovation (Shaw et al, 2021). Academic administrators must possess the right effective skills, such as learning skills, literacy, and life skills, which are also called the "transversal," "transferable," and "soft" skills or competencies, to create the change necessary for the institution which people can also follow, as it ensures education system that goes beyond cognitive domain to improve learning outcomes (Vivekanandan & Louis, 2020).…”

Leadership is the foundation and basis of an organization's success. Its context has been melded in Private Higher Education Institutions by the shifts in technological modes of teaching and learning and its response to the demand of the new generation and competition. The purpose of this research is to identify leadership practices and their effectiveness that will help private higher education institutions achieve institutional goals and vision, manage their operations, maintain good relationships, and lead with a high-quality education. The study used a quantitative research design to determine and assess the effectiveness of leadership practices among private education institutions in the 2nd district of Albay, likewise using descriptive statistics to interpret the study findings. The analyzed data revealed that the respondents 'agree' that their institutional leaders have demonstrated their management skills in terms of academic leadership (3.43), human resources (3.29), financial resources (3. 15), and facilities and equipment (3.09); thus, their leadership skills along intrapersonal skills (3.34), interpersonal skills (3.3), and innovation skills (3.18). However, there are problems encountered by the respondents along with the leadership skills of their leaders. Therefore, developing a transformational model is necessary to address further development and ensure their long-term success and sustainability.
