“…Although the discoveries are varied, there are two categories of initiatives recognised by the researchers which are common initiatives and other additional initiatives. Writers on sustainability practices recognise that there are few major common initiatives that strongly highlighted are Energy Efficiency, Water Efficiency, Waste Management (Filippi & Sirombo, 2015;Rughooputh, Cheeneebash, & Mungroo, 2014;KOÇ, 2014;Abdallah et al, 2013 andHasim &Pullen,2011). In addition, (Filippi & Sirombo, 2015;KOÇ, 2014;and Hasim & Pullen, 2011) also claimed that Sustainable Policy, Sustainable Transport and Sustainable Facilities / Infrastructure is other common initiatives practice in existing building.…”

The progressive growth off building stocks over a period should not be ignored, because the implications have already affected the environment, economy and social aspect of the sustainable goal. Today, people, building, organisations and environment affected demands a holistic changes and improvement that need to be taken seriously. Adoption of sustainable practices in existing buildings specifically building owned by the government is a sign of sustainable commitment being practised and cultivates the appropriate approach. Such implementation should enhance the performance of local authority role and the existing building performance. This study discovered the area of concern that can enhance the sustainable practices implementation in local authority existing building. Data collected through interview (semi-structured) interviewed with 10 participants ranging from building managers, officers or senior officers. The result was generate using content analysis method. 16 sustainability Initiatives were discovered which demonstrate some significant effort from local authorities in managing their existing building. However, the effort still lacking to lead in becoming a role model towards sustainability. These organisation required more improvement and additional adoption to lead in sustainable practices. Hence, measuring the effectiveness of the practices should be explore including developing a model as guidance for this organisations to adopt towards becoming sustainable champion.

“…Každý ze systémů přizpůsobuje dané podmínky a kritéria hodnocení dle charakteristik daného státu či území vycházejících z geografického umístění, možností využití přírodních zdrojů, národních zákonů a norem či zvyklostí. Je tedy zřejmé, že budova certifikovaná dle systému z Austrálie bude mít oproti budově s Evropskou certifikací odlišné některé vlastnosti, například právě proto, že v Austrálii je velký nedostatek vody a místní certifikace tomuto faktu dává vyšší váhu [3,4]. Certifikační systémy se tedy liší ve svých podmínkách a hodnotících kritériích pro získání šetrného certifikátu, ale také v procesu, který je potřeba absolvovat.…”

AbstraktCertifikace budov je trendem v oblasti šetrných budov. Mezi světově nejuznávanější patří americký certifikační systém LEED a britský certifikační systém BREEAM. Certifikace budov by měla co nejlépe vystihnout podmínky v příslušné lokalitě, respektive zemi. Z těchto důvodů jsou vyvíjeny národní certifikační systémy. V České republice existuje národní certifikační systém SBToolCZ. Původně byly certifikační systémy zaměřeny na novou výstavbu, ale z důvodů zájmu o certifikaci již realizovaných staveb, se certifikační metody začaly zaměřovat i tímto směrem. Pro tyto účely je potřeba změnit a přizpůsobit hodnotící kritéria pro provoz budov. Příspěvek se zabývá problematikou stanovení kritérií pro provoz budov v certifikačním systému SBToolCZ. Konkrétně se jedná o oblasti hodnocení facility managementu a uživatelské dokumentace budovy. Klíčová slovaCertifikace; facility management; uživatelská dokumentace AbstractThe building certification is a trend in green buildings. The American LEED certification system and the British BREEM certification system are the most respected in the world. But the building certification should be adapted to individual conditions in countries. For these reasons, national certification systems are being developed. There is a national certification system SBToolCZ in the Czech Republic. The certification systems were focused on new construction originally. There is a interest in the certification of completed buildings. The certification methods began to focus in this direction. It is necessary to change and adapt the assessment criteria for the operation of buildings for these purposes. The paper deals with the issue of setting criteria for building operations in the SBToolCZ certification system. The paper is specifically concerned to areas of facility management assessment and building documentation.

“…This is an area for keen attention which has a direct relationship with both the availability and efficiency of facilities in educational institutions, especially for public owned schools (Flavin, 2019;Pearce, 2017). Functionality, proximity to students, ease of accessibility, regulations of usage, online / or offline modes of access, and carrying capacity, are such terms as may pertain to assessing the availability of academic facilities on campuses (Filippi & Sirombo, 2015;Ibrahim et al, 2016). Notwithstanding the need for academic facilities and their availability in educational institutions, the concept of facility maintenance is key to optimum performance of such facilities (Hasbullah et al, 2011;Izobo-Matins et al, 2018).…”

Many studies have assessed the influence of a diversity of factors on the academic performance of students but not much can be found on the effects of academic facility availability and functionality on performance and enrollment. In this study, the influence of academic facility availability (AFA) on academic performance (AP) and enrollment of students (E) and the potential mediation and moderating effects of facility maintenance (FM) are studied. A cross-sectional survey, quantitative design was followed and data was assessed using IBM-SPSS (version 25). Multivariate regression analysis was performed after data fitness and collinearity checks were performed. Models were significant for AP and E with R 2 values being 0.8990 and 0.7210 respectively at P < 0.05. It was observed that a unit increase in the availability of functional academic facilities in educational institutions in Ghana has the potential to enhance the academic performance of students by about 69.00%, holding all other factors constant. Also, to a significant but lesser degree, the maintenance of existing facilities (FM), when improved by a unit has the potential to also enhance AP by about 41.00%. Further assessment indicated that a unit improvement in AFA in educational institutions had the potential to increase enrollment by about 70.00%, whereas the maintenance of such facilities would only enhance E by 21.00%, ceteris paribus. The PROCESS macro extension was used to test mediation and moderation functions of FM in this study. FM mediated significantly the relationship between AFA and AP (r 2 = 0.7190) but could not mediate that between AFA and E (r 2 = 0.0893). A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was conducted to test the moderating effects of FM on the relationship between AFA and AP or E. FM was found to significantly moderated the relationships between AFA and AP/E (P < 0.05).
