| 520 | 3 | |a Environmental sustainability practices in facilities management (FM) are vital in reducing the impact of buildings on the natural environment, and such practices can provide a significant contribution to university achievement in terms of reducing cost, improving efficiency, and expanding the value of an investment. The present investigation deals with environmental sustainability practices that are concerned with climate change, ecosystem health, biodiversity conservation, and resource consumption. The aim is to determine the extent of environmental sustainability adoption in FM practices for Malaysian universities. An online questionnaire survey was undertaken to key practitioners in the FM office who have essential roles in sustainability implementation. The questionnaires were administered to 18 public universities with a total invitation of 88 participants and 65% response rate. Generally, universities in Malaysia showed some commitment in FM practice towards environmental sustainability with some focused-on programs of emission control (3.94), water conservation (3.81), biodiversity preservation (3.79), and energy efficiency (3.71) programs. Specifically, in the three FM phases, namely, in operation and maintenance, in renovation and refurbishment and demolition and rebuild works, the results showed no significant differences. Indeed, environmental sustainability is equally adopted in whole FM phases for Malaysian universities. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. | |
