In this revision significant enhancements to improve the management and maintenance of building assets and facilities, focusing on sustainability, efficiency, and pandemic preparedness (in 17.4) have been introduced. These updates aim to provide clear guidelines for facility managers on the calculation of common area maintenance (CAM) charges, energy management, and the adoption of innovative technologies like digital twins (in 27). Annexes on safety in operation, monsoon preparedness and building operation insurance are included respectively in Annexes K, L and M. Other significant improvements include:
a) Guidelines on expenses towards housekeeping, energy consumption, maintenance contracts, and insurance etc, with flexible area-based or service-specific calculation methods, in 9.13.2.
b) Encouraging the use of low-flow faucets, dual-flush toilets, and water-saving appliances to reduce water usage and improve sustainability, in 11.9.

c) Introduction of corrosion-resistant materials like cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) and chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) to minimize leaks and extend the lifespan of building plumbing systems, in 11.9.
d) Protocols for enhanced ventilation, high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration, and Ultraviolet UV-C disinfection to improve air quality and reduce airborne pathogen transmission, in 17.4.1.
e) Encouraging the use of touchless entry systems, sensor-based faucets, and automatic doors to minimize physical contact in high-traffic areas, in 17.4.1.
f) Performance monitoring and energy efficiency for HVAC systems, with a focus on real-time data analysis and system optimization, in 12.10.
