From waste management and energy efficiency strategies to integrating environmental and wellbeing criteria into construction projects and campus planning, FMAS plays a pivotal role in maintaining and enhancing Â鶹AV's physical environment.
Maintenance, Operations, and Upgrades
FMAS is responsible for the maintenance, operations, and upgrades of over 200 buildings across Â鶹AV's campuses. The team implements a variety of key actions aimed at promoting sustainability and ensuring a sustainable future for the university and its community.
Sustainable Practices in Daily Operations
FMAS not only emphasizes sustainability during the planning, design, and construction phases but also integrates sustainable practices into the daily maintenance and operations of buildings and grounds. Some of the measures include:
- Preventative Maintenance Programs: FMAS has developed and implemented regular preventative maintenance programs that contribute to the extended lifespan of equipment.
- Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products: The team is phasing out petrochemical-based cleaners in regular janitorial services and replacing them with products that meet environmental standards.
- Microfiber Cloths: The use of microfiber cloths, instead of conventional rags, helps minimize the amount of cleaning product required.
- Water-Only Cleaning Equipment: FMAS utilizes water-only floor scrubbing machines and steam-cleaning wands, which collectively save about 515 liters of cleaning products annually.
Through these and other initiatives, FMAS demonstrates its commitment to sustainability and plays a crucial role in fostering an environmentally responsible campus culture at Â鶹AV.
