Nordic and Baltic Case Studies and Assessments in Enterprises - CREDIT Report 2
Författare
Summary, in English
This report summarizes 28 case studies addressing the common interest for
indicators in case studies in Nordic and Baltic countries and is distributed to different building types
– Benchmarking systems and indicators (4 case studies)
– Offices (7 case studies)
– Housing (8 case studies)
– School and nursery (5 case studies)
– Shopping centres (3 case studies)
– Hospital (1 case studies)
There are some good practices for benchmarking in large scale. At the
moment, those are addressing mostly process and investment indicators,
and do not yet cover performance indicators. Front-runner enterprises are already recognizing the potential of benchmarking, rating to highest class may increase interest from investors and building owners. Otherwise, some national and international rating systems are available in the market.
Few frontline owners are already using cost and performance indicators in
daily operations, such as Senate Properties in Finland and Statsbygg in
Norway. Their focus is mostly directed to investment, costs, and energy efficiency. Altogether, it seems that systematic procedures are needed in the industry for evaluating performance and compliance to end result to needs.
There is no commonly agreed or standardized global or European Key
Performance Indicator system, but some national and international rating
schemes are available. During the past five years a number of rated buildings has grown greatly, and motivation for using those is increasing.
Market signals are also showing paradigm shift towards end user involvement,
and standardized methods for involving end users and making continuous monitoring of satisfaction should be agreed. When committing end users, they need help in order to be able to contribute in value adding way. Workplace management in office buildings is used for tailoring spaces
better to end user needs. Senate Properties in Finland develops services
where spaces are a strategic asset that can help to contribute an organizational change.
National and international indicator systems do not cover all important
business matters and companies are developing their own systems. Some
contractors have been developing national systems for process performance
monitoring. Indoor environment is important in shopping centres, and performance level for spaces is an opportunity to owner to enhance cash flow
through rental agreements. In the future, building automation systems could
provide real-time monitoring of performance indicators continuously contributing changes automatically to reach desired performance.
Organizations are looking for an indicator system that could help them to
measure and enhance performance of buildings. Apparently some indicators
are more important than others; regulations for accessibility have become
tighter, location is still the core driver, common interest towards operations and reducing annual energy consumptions is growing. There is potential to improve energy efficiency of buildings. Indicator systems should be implemented in tools to encourage usage in projects; those processes are now rather manual. Building Information Models (BIMs) may be suitable tool for managing those more automated way. Based on findings in CREDIT project, offices and shopping centres are most attracting building types in terms of benchmarking.
Enterprises are benchmarking indicators to some extent but systematic
process has not yet been developed and a uniform indicator system considering also building performance and value creation is missing. CREDIT project has increased understanding on indicators and transparency and industry
needs more research on this matter.
