Building Operator
A building operator manages the day-to-day running of a building's systems and operations, which may or may not include ownership.
Definition
A building operator is responsible for the day-to-day operational running of a building, which may be a separate role from the building owner, particularly in leased commercial properties or managed facilities.
Why It Matters
Distinguishing operator from owner matters for accountability — the operator typically has direct visibility into and control over daily energy use, while capital investment decisions may sit with the owner.
