Operational excellence is the result of consistent and reliable building performance that optimizes the total cost of ownership, minimizes environmental impact, and yields maximum beneficial use to both the building’s owner and its occupants. In application, operational excellence is the culmination of an effectively operated building environment, yielding the utmost efficiencies of well-designed and well-constructed systems that result in the maximized use of a building at the minimum level of wasted resources. Design enables operational excellence by providing the foundational structure and systems to effectively serve a building’s needs. Designers have the unique ability to impact the long-term operation of a building through integrated and thoughtfully designed systems. As the planning, design, and construction of any particular structure represents only a fraction of the life-cycle cost of a building, it is critical that the design is informed and intentional to provide adequate maintenance capabilities and operational efficiencies over the entire life of the building systems. Major advances have been made in the technology related to building equipment and control systems, but there is still a large gap between the designed, expected operation and the actual operation of a building. This gap impacts the indoor environmental quality and the energy use of many buildings around the world. Designing for Operational Excellence helps bring operations to the forefront of the design process, enabling designers to design buildings and systems that focus on long-term operational excellence and detailing the process and considerations for incorporating operational excellence into any building’s design. The guide gives building owners, designers, commissioning providers, and building operators the guidance they need to understand the operational needs of buildings, to design and operate systems in this environment, and to provide safe, comfortable, efficient, and affordable conditions in the built environment.
