RICS has developed the International Building Operation Standard (IBOS), a new approach to measure and manage how buildings perform for people, through data.
Recognising that there is now more emphasis on the value of the building to those who use it, IBOS helps property and facility managers, building owners, occupiers and investors adopt a people-centred approach to the way their spaces are managed.
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of new ways of working and operating, creating the need for a framework that reaches beyond traditional ways of assessing building performance.
IBOS supports you by providing the data to embed environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices and user-centred decision-making. It offers a consistent way to benchmark across a portfolio of properties.
HOW CAN IBOS HELP?
Here are many reasons you should consider adopting IBOS for your building performance strategy.
It will eventually be accompanied by a free, easy-to-use self-service tool so you can understand your own building measurement.
It’s global, being endorsed by professionals from Dubai and London to Barbados and India. It will therefore help you benchmark properties across markets.
