IFMA Foundation Accepting Applications for the 2023 Eric Teicholz Sustainability Facility Professional® (SFP®) Scholarship Program

April 5, 2023

HOUSTON, TEXAS, USA – IFMA Fellow Eric Teicholz and the IFMA Foundation are pleased to announce that applications are being accepted for the 2023 Eric Teicholz Sustainability Facility Professional® (SFP®) Scholarship Program. Young professionals with a demonstrated financial need who are currently practicing facility management (FM) or a related field and are interested in earning a specialty credential in sustainability are encouraged to apply. Applications are due by 5 p.m. (CST), Friday, Tuesday, July 18, 2023.

IFMA’s SFP is an assessment-based certificate program that teaches facility managers to take a comprehensive approach to sustainability, focusing on data-driven analytics in managing the built environment. Those who earn the SFP gain recognition for expertise in sustainable FM practices, while impacting their organization’s economic, environmental and social bottom lines.

“In recent years, many of us have been feeling an increasing sense of urgency about the environmental impact of the built environment. In particular, we are concerned about the amount of energy consumption and the degree of pollution production involved in its construction, management and maintenance,” said Eric Teicholz. “I look forward to seeing these scholarships create a new generation of facility managers with competencies in this vital and evolving field.“

Skill sets taught in the SFP program lead to a better understanding of climate change and how buildings can be managed to reduce negative environmental impact. Sustainability skills will remain essential for facility managers in the foreseeable future and will increase the leadership potential for those with demonstrated expertise in maximizing efficiencies, streamlining building operations, and implementing projects that save money and positively impact the community.

Facility management is a US$1 trillion global industry. More than 25-million facility professionals worldwide are on the frontline of efforts to reduce fuel and resource use, minimize waste and site impact, and improve indoor environmental quality. These responsibilities constitute a special challenge in the context of an expanding urbanization that is currently expected to double the world’s building stock over the next 30 years.

Major funders of this scholarship program include Eric Teicholz, Planon, JLL, Nuvolo, Jumbo Chains, and SDI: The Digital Supply Chain Company.
