ABSTRACT
Facilities around the world are found in a variety of types, shapes, and sizes and are built for differing purposes as human need arises. The main reason for building a facility is to provide a safe, contained location for people, assets, information storage and processing, manufacturing, or a combination of all of those. The commonalities are basic in nature and indicate a common set of regular human functions in each facility, regardless of the size and nature of the facility, that lend to a common set of methods to run and maintain each facility. Securing and managing both these types of facilities and others requires a person or team of people with identified responsibilities toward managing and maintaining the facility to support the intended function. The range of facilities in the world is huge, but most have basic functions common to the comfort and physical needs of people.
