This organisation, which has been operating for more than a decade and a half, is a key player in the Hungarian facility management sector, actively promoting knowledge sharing, industry innovation and professional dialogue. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>For many years we have been committed to working with the entire life cycle of the buildings we design in mind, with a particular focus on energy solutions, sustainability, ESG aspects and operation.<\/p>\n\n<p>Our membership gives us the opportunity to engage directly with the professionals who run our facilities every day. Our aim is to incorporate the experience and data collected and processed by LEO, as well as the results of the <a href=\"https:\/\/leofm.hu\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">professional groups<\/a> and yearbooks, into our work, so that we can create more efficient and sustainable facilities. <\/p>\n\n<p>Not only do we want to feed knowledge from LEO back into our design processes, but we also want to actively contribute to the professional community.
