According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a facility is “something (such as a hospital) that is built, installed, or established to serve a particular purpose.” This is a broad definition, and to narrow it down, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has classified facilities into eight primary categories:  

  1. Commercial and Institutional Sector  
  2. Office Buildings  
  3. Hospitals  
  4. Laboratories  
  5. Hotels  
  6. Restaurants  
  7. Educational Facilities  
  8. Industrial
