Introduction
This Special Issue will feature the best papers identified at the CIB WBC 2025, which will be held at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN USA, May 19-23, 2025. Best papers presented at the conference will be identified by the guest editors of this proposed special issue, and the authors of these papers will be invited to submit elaborated versions of their papers to be considered for publication in this special issue. All invited papers will display excellent contributions to the field, and for publication in this special issue, their authors will be asked to further develop these contributions. The particular contributions will depend on each particular paper.
The link between facility management and sustainability is well mapped by the international standardisation organisation (ISO), and illustrates that FM contributes to at least, 14 of the 17 UN SDGs. The research to be published in this special issue will highlight these links, as well as other, that exist between facility management and the UN SDGs.
