# Management

Sustainable building design will only lead to a truly sustainable building if the project includes a sensible and well conceived construction management approach and an ongoing building management allowance, including:

  • an early commitment to environmental targets
  • an operation waste separation strategy
  • regular tuning of building services
  • sensible use of building services, such as heating and cooling devices
  • preparation of a Building Users' Guide

In Management, BESS includes actions related to early consideration of ESD, such as a pre-application meeting with Council and early thermal performance modelling. BESS also includes actions related to ongoing monitoring, including metering and sub-metering strategies. And finallly, BESS includes an action that a Building Users' Guide be prepared to assist future building users to understand and operate their new building in the most efficient way.
