This e-book is based on a selection of papers from one of the majo rtopics at the CIBW0702006 Trondheim InternationalS ymposium-'changing user demands on buildings:needs for lifecycle planning and management'. The challenge for facilities managers today is to effectively manage the great economical value our built assets represent,as well as focusing on efficient use and operation of facilities over time.Users' and tenants' needs are more and more in focus.The selected papers focus on meeting changing user demands through adaptability in the long-term perspective.Research and case studies are presented,exploring the needs and possibilities for modernization,transformation and reuse of existing buildings,infrastructure and urban renewal areas.Transformation and reuse a real so seen in relation to conservation of historic buildings.

FM as a scientific field of inquiry: theory, research and practiceWhen the editors began planning this special issue they asked themselves questionslike: Does facility management exist as a separate field of scientific inquiry and if sowhat is its object of study? Are we not dealing with a topic within management orbuilding science? With these questions in mind the editors of this special issue set outto select and edit a number of articles of the European Facility Management Conferenceheld in Rotterdam in 2003.
