Content
In Unit 8 we will summarize the elements of Effectively Managing IEQ through Best Management Practices – BMP (often referred to as Best Management Practices Plans or BMPPs). While we chose to deal with 4 building services (Cafeteria & Food Services, Janitorial Services, Meeting & Conference Services and Landscaping Services), the BMP process is similar within a building and its many rooms/functions, as well as outside a building and its many landscape space/functions.

Previously in Unit 7 – Maintaining IEQ Alongside Building Operations (green products, green services, etc.), we examined:

- Green Products In An IEQ Setting;
- Indoor Environmental Quality Enhancement;
- Indoor Environmental Quality Enhancement… O&M Optimization;
- Green vs. Non-green Products… There Are IEQ Benefits (Value-base Purchasing, Regulation and Federal Acquisition Register Compliance, and Purchasing Activity);
- 11 Environmentally-correct Programs Assure Total Performance (and IEQ)
- Basic Operation and Maintenance IEQ Practices

High performing buildings are more efficient, with less rejected energy and other direct and indirect forms of basic energy waste. Such savings cannot be at the expense of human comfort, safety, etc. Resulting efficiencies and savings must be real and tangible, and sub sequentially mean lower operating cost and appropriate maintenance.
