2. MANAGEMENT
Management is an activity or process. More specifically, management is the process of assembling and using sets of resources in a goal-directed manner to accomplish tasks in an organization. This definition can be subdivided into its key parts:

1. Management is a process: It involves a series of activities and operations, such as planning,deciding, and evaluating. 2. Management involves assembling and using sets of resources: It is a process that brings together, and puts into use, a variety of resources: human, financial, material, and informational. 3. Management involves acting in a goal-directed manner to accomplish tasks: It is an activity with a purpose and direction. The purpose or direction may be that of the individual, the organization or, usually, a combination of the two. It includes ones efforts to complete activities successfully and to achieve particular levels of desired results. 4. Management involves activities carried out in an organization: It is a process undertaken in an organization by people with different functions intentionally structured and coordinated to achieve common purposes.

3. MANAGEMNT FACTORS :Standardization

3.1 Standardization Definition Standardization is the process of developing and implementing technical standards The goals of standardization can be to help with independence of single suppliers, compatibility, safety, repeatability, or quality. The specific meaning of the term standard varies depending on context: it can a unit of measurement, a regular set of practices, or a way of looking at the world. At first, this variety may be confusing for those who appreciate precision terminology. In social sciences, including economics, the idea of standardization is close to the solution for a coordination problem, a situation in which all parties can realize mutual gains, but only by making mutually consistent decisions. Standardization is defined as best technical application consentual wisdom inclusive of processes for selection in making appropriate choices for ratification coupled with consistent decisions for maintaining obtained standards.

3.2 standardizations within sustainability

The International Organization for Standardizations definition of sustainability is the maintenance of ecosystem components and functions for future generations (ISO, 2002a). The ISO standard in which the general principles of sustainable building are set out applies this definition and identifies the following elements: Environmental. Design, construction and operation must implement DfE (design for environment) approaches. The healthy functioning of local, regional and global ecosystems must be promoted, and energy efficiency, toxicity, materials, durability, reuse and building operations must be incorporated. Social. Buildings, individually and collectively, influence many aspects of human behaviour (including daily travel patterns) with their own substantial social costs and environmental costs. Design, construction and operation must incorporate collaboration, social impacts and continual improvement. Economic. Sustainable building must incorporate full-cost accounting procedures into the development of buildings and constructed assets. It must address not only initial direct economic costs of development, but also associated direct and indirect social and environmental costs. ISO standards under development in the sustainable building area Within the International Organization for Standardizations Committee on Sustainability in Building Construction (ISO/TC59/SC17)

3.2 standardizations within sustainability

The aim of the standard on Sustainability Indicators (ISO, 2002b) is to define a framework with respect to sustainability indicators for buildings and groups of buildings. In this standard it is stated that the general understanding of the aspects of sustainability including economic, environmental and social ones is adopted. However, environmental and social costs seem to be missing. At least there are no defined indicators for these costs in the current version of this standard. The following core set of indicators is recommended: _ use of natural raw materials; _ consumption of energy resources; _ release of environmentally harmful emissions; _ access (by public transport and bicycle or pedestrian traffic); _ service life _ indoor conditions

According to the Unesco web site, in 1987, United Nations prepared and published the Brundtland Report due to the increase in concern about the effects of economic development on health, natural resources and the environment. In this report, sustainable development was defined by the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) as "development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". Helmore and Singh (2001) define sustainability as the management and use of natural resources to make sure that these resources will stay intact for future generations. One other web source (www.sustainablemeasures.com) defines sustainability as related to the quality of life in a community, whether the economic, social and environmental systems that make up the community are providing a healthy, productive, meaningful life Submitted by: OMARYOUR LOGO AL-JUBORI Page 9 for all community residents, present and future.

3.SUSTAINABLITIY DEFINTION

 At the moment, everyone is talking about sustainable buildings. There is hardly any premium real estate property that does not have certification. Reasons include a growing demand by tenants for lower utility costs, but also a desire by companies for enhanced prestige.
Certification systems also send out clear signals to the real estate market. The United States of America (USA), which set the standards for a new approach with the LEED Certifi cation, is the pioneer in this field. International certification is also offered by organizations in Germany (DGNB) and the United Kingdom (BREEAM).

4.2. The Certification Systems: BREEAM, LEED and DGNB

A certification system is used as a tool to assess the sustainability of a building. A certificate is awarded if a building meets all the criteria for sustainable design. Moreover, the systems defi ne the standards for green buildings and concrete guidelines for developers, investors and users.
BREEAM Stands for Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment (BREEAM) and is a British certifi cation system. The private BRE (Building Research Establishment) supports BREEAM. LEED Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, comes from the USA and was introduced by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). LEED is often used as an international certifi cate. It will be examined in more detail below. DGNB The German Sustainable Building Council certifi cate, is the German response to LEED and BREEAM activities. Introduced in 2009, it is regarded as one of the most comprehensive certifi cation systems in the world, as it considers ecological, economic and socio-cultural aspects.

4.3. Requirements Catalog in the LEED Certification System.

The certification of green buildings involves not just building and operating in an energy-saving manner. It is more a question of the total life cycle of the building: The source of the building materials, their manufacture and disposal method at the end of the life cycle, the total consumption of resources throughout the lifetime of the building and, of course, the total energy consumption. Moreover, specialists in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC) at LEED come across more issues, such as transportation links, floor sealing or the social environment, that have to be resolved by others during the planning phase

5.THE ROLE OF BUILDING MANAGEMNT IN GREEN BUILDING CERTIFICATIONS.

During their life cycle, buildings produce large amounts of CO2 emissions, which can be considerably reduced by sustainable building techniques and energy-saving renovation. Green building certifications can significantly contribute to greater sustainability in the real estate sector. At present, there are still no binding standards and specifications worldwide for sustainable buildings, which is why certification follows different guidelines. The best known certifications are the US LEED certificate, the British BREEAM standard and the relatively new German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) seal of quality. Different factors are taken into consideration during certification. The way in which building management and control technology plays a crucial role in these certifications is examined in more detail below. In addition to national legislation, standards drawn up at a European level show, as European standards (EN), how to implement energy-saving technology successfully. Committees working with specialists from many European countries draw up these standards for all users. EN 15232, which attempts to calculate the resulting savings according to what type of building automation system is installed, can be quoted as an example.( RUSSELL 1999)
