Mission & Philosophy

For the past fourteen years, Building Operating Management has led the industry as the preferred source
of information for building owners and facility executives. Over the years, as changes occurred and challenges arose,
we have helped our readers stay ahead of the curve by providing comprehensive coverage of trends,
developments and innovations.

For building owners and facility executives, there is no shortage of challenges. Rising corporate expectations for
facility performance. Changing technology options. Unpredictable energy markets.

A need to balance tight budgets with steps to support occupant productivity. Growing concerns about the environment,
health and safety. Issues like these serve as a roadmap for the editors of Building Operating Management.
The magazine’s objective is to provide timely, in-depth information to help readers make decisions that will
shape the long-term performance of buildings.

One key focus is technology. But it’s not technology as an end in itself. Rather,
Building Operating Management seeks to put technology in perspective. Can a product help achieve corporate objectives?
What are the full financial ramifications of the choices to be made? Are there legal considerations involved?

Of course, the readers of Building Operating Management look beyond technology, and so does the magazine.
Facility and real estate management strategies are critical components of coverage. So are legal developments. Big picture
trends like outsourcing and sustainable design are essential as is coverage of the impact of the economy on facility planning.

To achieve these goals, Building Operating Management puts a premium on finding the best sources of information.
We supplement our in-house editorial staff with a strong line up of contributing editors. These writers have years - and in some
cases decades - of experience covering facility technology and management topics.

We also rely on independent industry experts whose real-world experience is reflected in the articles they write for the magazine.
The diversity and expertise of our editorial team - staff editors, long-time contributing editors and independent industry
experts - enable us to provide objective, in-depth coverage of the full range of areas of readers’ responsibilities.

Our readers rely on us for the best information so they can make the best decisions. Our goal is to deliver that
information every month.
