The role of buildings is changing. RICS introduces the International Building Operation Standard (IBOS) to support buildings to be more compliant, functional, economic, sustainable and better performing. IBOS supports organisations that wish to measure the operational performance of their property assets in a consistent manner – irrespective of the type of property or its location.

IBOS can also be used for:

• internal portfolio benchmarking
• portfolio comparison against those of other parties
• day-to-day and strategic asset management
• data optimization
• sustainable asset performance
• ESG reporting
• strategic portfolio planning
• capital planning and prioritisation
• workplace and workforce planning
• post-occupancy research
• compliance assessment and
• user satisfaction assessment.
