FM of Historical Properties

 

"Many irredeemable cultural objects and artefacts are housed and exhibited within historic buildings and estates of outstanding cultural significance. Frequently, these properties were conceived to serve a very different use than act as permanent depositories for the objects, functions and collections, they now house. Sustained performance of fabric, fixtures/fittings and services is essential, given the perceived demands of: climate-change, perils, increasing user expectations e.g. accessibility, environmental quality and legislative demand. As a consequence the cultural significance of both building and collection are tested. The aim is to establish whether a Facilities Management approach offers a solution to mitigating such risks."
Trevor J. Francis, Andrew J. Geens and John Littlewood

The following table is an example issued by New Zealand's Ministry of Education; which by the Law is responsible for caretaking of the Heritage Sites and Historical buildings. This table was part of the Historica Heritage Management Guidelines under the Resources Management Act 1991 and Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014.

This specific table addresses the potential damages that Historical properties are exposed to by faulty facilities management solutions and implementations; which the service provider has to realize and plan to avoid by all means of research planning, design and operations.
