Green Facility Management: The Wuli-Shili-Renli Framework and System Dynamics Model
Publication: ICCREM 2022
ABSTRACT
Eco-city has become a new model for governments to reduce energy consumption and seek new competitiveness. As the last stage in the life cycle of eco-city management, green facility management (GFM) aims to integrate people, places, processes, and technologies into the sustainable development of the eco-city. However, existing research rarely defines GFM from an eco-city perspective and lacks a systematic analytical framework and dynamic model for GFM. To fill this gap, this study aims to apply the Wuli-Shili-Renli (WSR) system methodology and the system dynamics (SD) modeling approach to propose a WSR framework for GFM and to develop a system dynamics model for the interaction of key elements within GFM. The study might provide a new theoretical framework and methodological model for eco-city management and facility management.
