Educational institutions and larger public school districts have implemented computerized systems of planning and management functions. The application of computers to facility management roughly may be divided into two general areas: (1) planning efforts of administrators and designers through methods of simulation, and (2) systems management efforts utilizing the computer in a management information role providing feedback on a timely basis to the administrator. By utilizing the computer many information processing tasks can be made possible, providing assistance for decision-making and setting priorities with respect to educational facilities. Inventories, utilization reports, maintenance scheduling, insurance reports, and energy conservation are some of the seemingly routine tasks that may be computerized and made more exacting.
