What Is the APPA/MHEC FPI Survey Partnership?

The 2009-10 FPI Survey is now OPEN! See details below for accessing the survey.

APPA’s annual Facilities Performance Indicators Survey (FPI Survey) is a comprehensive collection of facilities-related operational costs and personnel information, strategic financial measures, and much more. The resulting Facilities Performance Indicators reports are Web-based and include numerous charts, dashboard gauges, a peer review feature, and a searchable database. The report is utilized by participating institutions as a robust benchmarking and cohort comparison tool. 

This past spring, APPA (an association providing leadership in educational facilities) and MHEC (the Midwest Higher Education Compact), through a generous grant from the Lumina Foundation for Education, developed an energy benchmarking tool using the components of the existing FPI survey. The result was a scaled-down version of the annual FPI survey.

APPA and MHEC now desire to continue this collaborative effort by establishing a longitudinal study of energy usage over time, while continuing to foster participation among MHEC member institutions to engage in the full Facilities Performance Indicators (FPI) survey every year.

The 2009-10 FPI Survey Cycle is now OPEN!
