The system comprises both management items (Système de Management de l'Opération<br />
SMO) <strong>and</strong> quality assurance of the building (Qualité Environnementale du Bâtiment QEB).<br />
SMO supports management during all design <strong>and</strong> construction stages in the following way:<br />
− Engagement: definition of design goals corresponding to location study, concept <strong>for</strong><br />
utilization of the building <strong>and</strong> analysis of profitability<br />
− Construction work: definition of time schedule, responsibilities <strong>and</strong> proof of qualification<br />
− Supervision of design <strong>and</strong> construction stage<br />
− Post-Occupancy Evaluation: customer satisfaction,..<br />
