 Stream’s Rosewood Court |
Standing out from the crowd is essential in a distressed market, but just having an exceptional building is not enough, your owners, tenants and stakeholders need to know it. The question then becomes - how do property managers demonstrate that their building meets and exceeds excellence criteria in building management and operations?
William F. Moebius, senior vice president and director of energy and sustainable operations with Stream Realty Partners, has found the answer in the new BOMA 360 Performance Program. He likes that BOMA 360 fills a void when it comes to recognition programs. “There really aren’t any comprehensive building performance measurement programs for properties today. ENERGY STAR® deals with energy efficiency; LEED focuses on sustainability; and other professional designation programs are generally for individuals rather than buildings.”
The program is an online self-assessment that evaluates properties in six major areas: building operations and management; life safety, security and risk management; training and education; energy; environment and sustainability; and tenant relations and community involvement. The holistic nature of the BOMA 360 Performance Program means that every aspect of building performance is assessed, with scores based on how buildings measure up to an extensive checklist of best practices.
Stream recently had three buildings designated: 3811 Turtle Creek, Rosewood Court and The Tower at Cityplace, all in Dallas, Texas. For Moebius, the stamp of excellence the designation implies is why his company chose to participate. “The most important benefit of the program is that buildings are recognized for incorporating a very broad range of best practices,” says Moebius. “Owners and tenants can take comfort in the fact that the management team has excellent, industry-leading systems and practices in place.”
