A number of partial restructuring measures are offered to optimize business operation to improve its efficiency and performance. The structure inside the company is one of the most important tools for managing its performance and its correct definition, and a proper and meaningful distribution can play a key role in the competitive environment. In many cases, the requirement for optimization of operation will arise from the requirements of facility management, and therefore restructuring measures relating to organizational changes should be implemented with respect to the principles of facility management or should be based on its optimization. This thesis presents the impact of restructuring measures by centralizing of divisions on optimizing its operation with respect to the facility management. The aim of the dissertation is to evaluate the organizational change in the company with several divisions, taking into account the principles of facility management. The result of this thesis are the methodical recommendations during the establishment and evaluation of the division´s centralization in the company. It is based on the findings from the literature review and the real change in the building company.

Uppsala municipality has set a goal in line with the UN’s 2030 Agenda for sustainable development to be fossil-free by 2030. To achieve this a lot of local companies have signed the Uppsala Climate Protocol. One of these companies is the municipal facility management company AB Uppsala Kommun Industrihus, Ihus. This project aimed to help Ihus map their emissions connected to facility maintenance and management and to enable them to reach their goal of becoming climate neutral by 2030.  The daily facility management was split up into the categories gardening, ventilation and installation, cleaning and facility work, materials and products, renovations, and painting. A sustainability spend analysis was performed on Ihus’ organisation and emissions per spent MSEK were calculated for each category by researching Ihus’ suppliers. By using those emission intensities, the two categories with the highest emissions could be identified as renovations and materials and products with intensities of 84.48 and 57.56 tonnes CO2e/MSEK, respectively. The remaining categories all had intensities below 3 tonnes CO2e/MSEK.  Sensitivity analyses were performed on the results by tweaking the values of which the emissions were based on. The results showed that to lessen Ihus’ climate impact the areas of improvement are life cycle assessments for their facilities and overseeing transports.

Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur användbart Augmented Reality (AR) är för fastighetsförvaltning. Målet är att ta fram en kravspecifikation av en AR-baserad mobilapplikation för fastighetsförvaltning som ska vara generell och kunna användas av många olika förvaltningsföretag. Kravspecifikationen är framtagen baserat på den empiri som har samlats in och sedan har blivit analyserad av författarna. Metod: Studien innefattar en fallstudie med litteraturstudie, observationer och intervjuer. Litteraturstudien valdes för att skapa en större förståelse och fördjupning av ämnet och för att bygga upp studiens teoretiska ramverk. Observationsstudie för att få ett bredare perspektiv på hur samarbetsföretaget Vätterhem jobbar idag i förvaltningen. Semistrukturerade intervjuer valdes även för att få ett mer ingående perspektiv på hur fastighetsförvaltningsföretag jobbar idag samt deras syn på AR-tekniken. Resultat: AR-teknik kan användas av fastighetsskötarna i fastighetsförvaltningsföretag för att ge möjlighet till tidseffektivisering. Tekniken kan även fungera som stöd för kvalitetssäkring. AR har visat sig vara lämpligt för att presentera instruerande- och objektrelaterad information för fastighetsskötarna. Detta bedöms vara lämpligt vid upplärning av nya fastighetsskötare eller då en fastighetsskötare ska utföra arbete i ett område som ej är fastighetsskötarens ordinarie område. Konsekvenser: Undersökningen visar att AR-teknik kan tidseffektivisera den utvändiga tillsynen och underhållet i fastighetsförvaltning. Vidare studier kan göras genom att utveckla en mobilapplikation med hjälp av den framtagna kravspecifikationen i denna studie, och använda den i ett experiment. Kostnader för implementering av AR-tekniken bedöms också vara ett lämpligt nästa steg. Begränsningar: Arbetet är avgränsat till att omfatta ronderingar av lekplatser, vilket är en del av fastighetsförvaltning. Ett bredare undersökningsområde skulle möjliggöra chans till att finna fler användningsområden för AR-teknik. / Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate the usability of Augmented Reality (AR) for facility management tasks. The aim is to develop a specification of a mobile based AR application for facility management. The specification should be general, and it should be possible for many different facility management companies to use it. The specification is created based on the empirical evidence collected during the study. Method: The study includes a case study with literature study, observations and interviews. The literature study was conducted to create a broader and deeper understanding of the subject and to develop the study’s theoretical framework. Observations were conducted to gain a better understanding of the way the collaboration company Vätterhem is working today in their facility management department. Semi-structured interviews were chosen to gain a more in-depth understanding of how facility management companies work today, and their opinion of Augmented Reality. Findings: AR-technology can be used by the facility caretakers in facility management companies to increase time efficiency. The technology can also be used to support quality assurance. AR has proven to be useful for presenting instructions and object related information for the facility managers. This is believed to be useful when teaching new facility managers or when a facility manager will conduct work in a new area. Implications: The study shows that AR-technology can make outdoor inspections and maintenance tasks more time efficient. Further studies can be conducted by developing a mobile based application with the help of the specification presented in this report and use it for an experiment. The next step is also to estimate the costs related to implementing AR-technology. Limitations: The study is limited to playground inspections, which is a part of facility management. A broader investigation, covering other tasks included in the facility caretakers work, would make further findings possible.

The aim of this master project is to design café and roastery building in Brno - Líšeň. There are three parts, documentation for building permission, conception of HVAC documentation and facility management study. The building has three floors: basement with storage and utility rooms, ground floor with a café, coffee shop and roastery and first floor with a barista training room, offices and a roof garden with a terrace. Outside, there is an outdoor seating, children’s playground and a parking lot for customers and staff. The vertical loadbearing structures are designed from ceramic blocks and permanent formwork. The horizontal loadbearing structures are designed as cast-in-place reinforced concrete slabs and beams. There are three staircases in the building, one is designed from steel and the other two from cast-in-place reinforced concrete. The building is insulated with expanded polystyrene panels. The foundations are cast-in-place concrete strips. There are solar panels situated on the flat roof over the first floor. The building has mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. There is an underground tank for collecting rainwater that is used for toilet flushing and watering the garden. For heating and DHW there are two gas boilers, for cooling there is a VRV system.

Kunskap är en av de viktigaste tillgångarna inom en organisation. Hur man tar tillvara på kunskapen i syfte för att öka ett lärande är av stor betydelse. Inom byggindustrin idag finns en begränsad grad utav lärande från redan driftsatta byggnader. Förvaltningen har stor kunskap om byggnaden gällande kvalitet och funktion samt har daglig kontakt med slutanvändarna. Byggindustrin består dessutom ofta av tillfälliga projektorganisationer som snabbt kan ändra karaktär vilket bidrar till att det saknas en lärandelänk mellan den projektbaserade delen av organisationen och den förvaltande delen av organisationen. Genom att ett lärande sker över byggprocessens faser antas ett livscykelperspektiv vilket främjar ekonomisk-, social- samt ekologisk hållbarhet. Detta examensarbete syftar till att undersöka hur ett svenskt fastighetsbolag arbetar med lärandet mellan den projektbaserad delen av organisationen och den löpande verksamhet som förvaltningen representerar. Studien undersöker också vilka förutsättningar som finns för ett ökat lärande mellan dessa delar av organisationen. Vidare analyseras den insamlade empirin utifrån Knowledge Management mekanismerna kunskapsdrag, kunskapstryck och fasta. Analys görs även utifrån SECImodellen och diskussion förs kring balansen mellan interaktion och samarbete. Studien resulterar i att fastighetsbolaget mestadels använder Knowledge Management mekanismen kunskapsdrag vid lärande. Detta stödjs av tidigare forskning som antas vara det mest effektiva arbetssättet för ett ökat lärande. Kommunikationen vid lärande sker i huvudsak informellt mellan den projektbaserade verksamheten och förvaltningen. Kunskapen på fastighetsbolaget är mestadels individuell kunskap och nya processer och rutiner behövs således för att omvandla denna till organisatorisk kunskap. Parallellt med studien pågår ett arbete med framtagandet av nya arbetssätt och rutiner för ett ökat lärande. Förutsättningarna för att kunna lyckas med ett ökat lärande mellan den projektbaserade organisationen och förvaltningen är goda då en hög grad av det kooperativa beteendets samarbete har identifierats på fastighetsbolaget. / Knowledge is one of the most important assets of an organization. How to utilize the knowledge in order to increase learning is of great importance. In the construction industry today, there is a limited degree of learning from already commissioned buildings. Operation and maintenance apartment have knowledge of the building regarding quality and function and have daily contact with the end-user. The construction industry often consists of temporary project organizations that can quickly change and there is limited knowledge flow between facility management and projectbased organizations. By learning between the phases of the building process, a life cycle perspective is adopted which promotes economic, social and ecological sustainability. This thesis aims to investigate how a Swedish real estate company works with the learning between the project-based part of the organization and the on-going operation, which in this case is represented by the facility management. The study also investigate what conditions exists to increase learning. Furthermore, empirical results are analyzed based on the Knowledge Management mechanisms pull, push and fixed and learning based on the SECI model followed by a discussion about the balance between interaction and collaboration. The result of the study shows that the real estate company is using the Knowledge Management mechanism pull in order to increase learning. This is supported by previous research and this is believed to be the most effective way to increase learning in the construction industry. Communication between the project-based organization and the facility management is mainly informal and the knowledge within the real estate company is mostly individual knowledge. Thus, new processes and routines are needed to transform this into organizational knowledge. There is an ongoing work at the company aiming to develop new working methods and routines for increased learning. The prerequisites for success with increased learning between the project-based organization and the facility management are good, as a high degree of cooperative behavior has been identified at the real estate company.
