FAST TRACK ISO 41001
IMPLEMENTATION FOR FMS
An online service for facility owners, operators and service providers wishing to
implement a Facility Management System (FMS) in conformity with ISO 41001
has been launched. FMS Audit o ers facility management organisations of any
kind in the public and private sector the opportunity to implement, maintain and
update their own FMS.
A threeyear
Gold
Membership
Plan costs less
than £300 and
provides all the
documentation
necessary
to operate
an FMS. A
Confirmation of
Conformance
to ISO 41001
can be
issued a er
one month of satisfactory operation of the FMS, with the opportunity for full
certification in the second year of membership.
Implementing ISO 41001 means more consistent management practices
and procedures that lead to improved e iciency and e ectiveness, generating
cost benefits for the facility management organisation as well as better service
delivery for facility users.

5 STEPS TO REDUCE YOUR MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
CO2 EMISSIONS BY OVER 42%
Modular buildings have many advantages
over traditional construction methods, and
sustainability and CO savings are ones that will
play a key role if the construction sector is to lead
the way in reducing the UK’s carbon emissions.
A study undertaken by Arup & Partners “CO
emissions from use, scrapping and manufacture of
modular buildings” concluded modular buildings
o ered an alternative and sustainable solution to
traditional buildings across four key measures, but
what about refurbished modular measured against
new modular?
As suppliers of both new and refurbished portable
cabins and modular buildings in Hampshire,
Portable Facilities commissioned Acreshort
Consulting to conduct an independent study to
determine the carbon emissions savings that could
be achieved by re-using and refurbishing a ‘typical
5-bay marketing suite’ compared to the equivalent
new modular building.
Since both the fabric and building services, along
with build specification and transport, would be
common to both a newly-constructed modular and
a re-used/refurbished modular, the report focused
purely on the CO emissions associated with:
• Reusing the main steel structure
• Not manufacturing a new main steel structure
• Recycling approximately 6.96 metric tons of waste
from the refurbishment process
Carbon saving calculations
Assuming 12m x 3m x 3.2m pre-owned modules
were used to create a new 5-bay sales and marketing
suite, the overall carbon savings were calculated at
47.682 TCO2 representing impressive CO savings of
approximately 42% against a comparable new-build
modular suite.
In summary
To maximise CO savings in your next modular
construction project, consider refurbishing:
Strip out the existing modules and recycle the
majority of waste
Re-use the main steel structure
Refurbish and re-use any other materials
and components which will increase the
carbon savings. Purchase new materials from
ecologically-sound, sustainable sources
Install double glazing and energy-e icient
lighting, DHW and heating/cooling for continued
savings over the lifecycle of the building.
These measures could go a long way towards
helping achieve the UK government’s target of a
‘net-zero’ future.
