We are excited to announce the release of Module VII: Facility Management and Energy Efficiency on the RealVR platform. This module offers a comprehensive understanding of the critical role energy efficiency plays within Facility Management (FM), equipping professionals with the knowledge to reduce energy consumption, lower operational costs, and promote environmental sustainability. Funded by the Erasmus+ program (Project Number: 2021-1-BG01-KA220-VET-000034659), this module empowers FM professionals to optimize building performance while adhering to modern energy regulations.


What You’ll Learn in Module VII


This module covers essential aspects of energy efficiency in FM, including:

  • Understanding energy consumption trends and EU regulations in building management

  • Strategies for optimizing building performance through energy-saving measures

  • Achieving energy efficiency certifications, such as Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)

  • Green building practices and sustainable building design for energy efficiency

  • Integrating renewable energy sources and advanced technologies like smart systems to monitor and manage energy consumption


Why This Module Matters


Energy efficiency is at the core of modern Facility Management. Buildings account for 40% of energy consumption within the EU, and this module teaches FM professionals how to address rising energy costs, environmental concerns, and regulatory demands. By implementing energy-efficient practices, FM managers can significantly reduce operational expenses and contribute to sustainable building management.


Key Aspects of Facility Management and Energy Efficiency


  1. Energy Efficiency in FM: Learn about global energy consumption trends and the role of FM in improving sustainability. Explore key concepts like primary energy, renewable sources, and the energy balance of buildings.

  2. Optimizing Building Performance: Discover practical strategies for reducing energy consumption, integrating renewable energy sources, and improving HVAC systems. By enhancing building performance, FM professionals can reduce costs and contribute to environmental goals.

  3. Energy Certifications and Audits: Master the process of obtaining Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), conducting energy audits, and working with energy service companies to monitor and reduce energy usage effectively.

  4. Green Building Practices: Learn how to adopt sustainable building designs, including near-zero energy and passive buildings, and apply these principles to real-world scenarios.


Real-World Applications of Energy Efficiency in FM


Module VII showcases case studies demonstrating the impact of energy efficiency measures:

  • Energy Retrofitting: A commercial building reduced energy consumption by 30% through improved insulation, HVAC systems, and smart lighting.

  • Smart Building Integration: A university optimized energy usage across its campus with IoT sensors and automated systems, achieving a 20% reduction in energy consumption.

  • Renewable Energy Solutions: A manufacturing facility integrated solar and wind power, significantly reducing its reliance on grid electricity.
