FPI Survey is Open!
Unlock the Power of Benchmarking with APPA’s FPI Program!
APPA’s Facilities Performance Indicators (FPI) program is your gateway to powerful, data-driven insights! With decades of rich benchmarking data at your fingertips, the FPI program helps institutions measure, compare, and optimize their facilities’ performance and spending like never before.
Every year, APPA members contribute their latest data and gain access to in-depth benchmarking reports, allowing them to see how they stack up against their peers. Participating in the FPI survey unlocks exclusive insights—non-participating members have only limited access. Don’t miss this opportunity to make data-driven decisions that elevate your institution’s facilities management!
