2012’s Top Five Strategies for Building Efficiency

CHICAGO-It’s a double-edged sword: Buildings continue to age, but maintenance dollars from overtaxed owners are hard to come by, and managers are forced to triage building systems to perform better, and more efficiently, for budgets slashed by the recession.

Building Managers Step Up Their Game

NEW YORK CITY-Custom build-outs, green retrofits and top-tier amenities may sound like they belong in an A+ Park Avenue office tower rather than a traditional building. But as the pendulum continues to swing back in-favor of the tenant, competition for space is fierce – and building managers and landlords are stepping up their game.

Better Buildings Magazine, the iconic monthly that defined best practices for the building operations industry in the New York tri-state region in the 1980's is returning in 2012 and it's going national.

Content will focus primarily on:

• Energy Management

• Capital Improvements

• Engineering Advancements

• Property Upgrades

• Adaptive Reuse Trends

• Design/Construction Innovations

• Maintenance Solutions

If building operations and management are your passion, watch for the supplement, which makes its debut in the February/March edition of Real Estate Forum.
