Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: International Facility Management Association - Europe, Middle East and Africa is representing the Facility Management Professionals in the EMEA region. On a European level we have been working on proposals to include FM related verbage in the texts of the Eneregy Perormance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). We have written a position paper on the Renovation wave strategy. Next to that we are a member of the Pact for Skills and have developed our own Pact for Skills for Sustainable Facilities with the Federation of European Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Associations (REHVA) and the European Building Automation Controls Association (EU.bac) as partners. Sustainability, skills, and the impact that Facility Management has on this are definitely top priorities for us.
