Compare your building's Cost and Consumption across a wide range of these core areas:
| Utilities | Maintenance | Janitorial |
| Security | Space Utilization | Sustainability |
Fine-tune your comparisons to include only buildings sharing similar characteristics, through our unique set of filters:
| Climate | Number of employees | LEED® certification |
| Age | Business type | ENERGY STAR® rating |
| Size | Hours of use | Over 50 more filters |
By examining these comparisons, you will have a very good idea as to whether peers that you see as comparable are operating their buildings more efficiently. Next, through Best Practices analysis, FM BENCHMARKING will help you in determining the most effective means of improving your performance.
| LEED / ENERGY CONSERVATION INITIATIVES | YOUR BUILDING | IMPLEMENTED IN BETTER-PERFORMING BUILDINGS |
| Motion sensors in restrooms | No | 73% |
| Ongoing re-commissioning | No | 75% |
| Daylight sensing for lighting | No | 70% |
| Sub-metering | No | 69% |
Identify which best practices have been implemented by similar buildings with lower operating costs. For example:
| Energy efficient lighting | Daytime cleaning | Variable frequency drives (VFDs) |
| Recycling | Use of handhelds | Periodic contract reviews |
| CMMS systems | Certified security workforce | High preventive maintenance ratio |
| CCTV monitoring | Low facility condition index | Over 100 more best practices |
| Green cleaning supplies |
FM BENCHMARKING's large number of best practices were identified through our statistical analysis, which determined the building attributes and policies that can impact your building's performance the most in each of our core areas.
By implementing the Best Practices already deployed by your better-performing peers, you are assured the highest possible ROI on your building upgrade projects.
Improve Building Performance and Save
See how much savings have been achieved by those who have applied FM BENCHMARKING's methodology!
- Most buildings save 4 to 8 percent in their first year of benchmarking.
- Median building savings for a 100,000 sq. ft. building:
- First year savings $17,000
- Cumulative five year savings $204,000
- Energy savings of more than 3 percent every year for the next four years.
- Most buildings reduce energy consumption between 25-30 percent over five years.
Savings Every Year: In the first year, the most obvious best practices are identified and implemented, resulting in substantial savings. From that point, your performance is compared to a different set of buildings—namely those who have reduced operating expenses further than those you were compared with before. As a result, new Best Practices are discovered and recommended for implementaion.
Reduce your building's Operating Costs and
Carbon Footprint with FM BENCHMARKING's exclusive COMPARE-ANALYZE-IMPROVE system
There is no other benchmarking tool for buildings that enables the facilities professional to:
- Compare their buildings with only those that are similar (through our extensive set of filters).
- Analyze Your Results to Identify Best Practices not present in your building that similar buildings outperforming yours are doing (through our vast number of industry-proven best practices).
- Apply a Methodology to Improve Building Efficiency that has been demonstrated to be successful for over ten years:
The median building applying the FM BENCHMARKING methodology was able to reduce their operating costs by 6% after just one year (31% after 10 years), and energy consumption by 8% after one year (40% after 10 years).
