Safety And Reliability

Combination with the characteristics of large public buildings, taking well considerations of maintenance of buildings on safety and reliability of the circumstances. Decision-making models of the large public building maintenance cycle was proposed based on maintenance of quality comprehensive evaluation. To quantify the degree of recovery of large public buildings based on the quality of maintenance using the method of AHP and Multi-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. To make reasonable amendments on the reliability of experience according to the recovery degree of the reliability. In order to calculate the maintenance cycle of the large public buildings , the two models of maximum reliability and minimum total cost of building structure and equipment pipe components are applying with, and then to making dynamic arrangements of preventive maintenance cycle according to the quality of the maintenance.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide a strategy to integrate climate change adaptation (CCA) in public asset management (PAM) in Indonesia. This paper focusses on public buildings as part of a public asset.Design/methodology/approachAs an archipelagic country, Indonesia is very vulnerable to sea-level rise as a result of climate change. The outcomes of a qualitative analysis of interviews with relevant stakeholders were used for the development of the CCA framework in an Indonesian context.FindingsThe study identified that the integration of CCA in PAM in Indonesia requires the incorporation of nine key elements. These are as follows: recognition of climate change; risk management and insurance schemes for assets; integrated asset management and planning; asset use and knowledge; reliable, accessible and understandable data set on climate change; leadership, government commitment and incentives; involvement of research and private entities; community engagement; and coordination of relevant agencies.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper informed only the key elements required on the development of framework which integrate CCA in PAM.Practical implicationsThe integration of CCA to a PAM framework will support the development of policies and procedures for better-informed decisions.Social implicationsThe framework increases opportunities for stakeholders and community engagement in policy development and decision making in relation to CCA for public assets.Originality/valueThis paper synthesises CCA and PAM using knowledge from the three levels of governments in Australia and Indonesia. CCA and PAM groups work separately in Indonesia and integration will reduce climate change risks and improve decision making in PAM.

This research represents sustainable building modernization model, which creates knowledge-based decision-making method for old public buildings refurbishment seeking to reach the best energy performance during the design stage. Despite the fast development and spreading standards, challenging research opportunities arise from process automation and BIM adaptation for existing buildings’ requirements. To aid decision-making, building simulation is widely used in the late design stages, but its application is still limited in the early stages in which design decisions have a major impact on final building performance. Building design is a multi-collaborator discipline, where architects influence design decisions, engineers, contractors, and building owners. Using digital systems and simulations this modernization method performs already expected building energy consumption in a quickest and economic way. This model is BIM-based where design and refurbishment are based on pre-built indicators, which allows assessing the building energy demand and eco-building parameters.

Reusing abandoned public buildings is a positive strategy in sustainable urban development. An appropriate assessment method is needed to reduce the risks of redeveloping derelict public properties. The Delphi method is an optimal group decision-making technique; whereas the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method is useful for solving multicriteria decision-making problems. In addition, fuzzy logic manages artificial uncertainty and ambiguity, where an explicit number or ratio can express the level of preference. This study uses the Delphi method, fuzzy logic, and AHP (DFAHP) as a risk assessment model to redevelop derelict public buildings. The DFAHP provides an objective reference for investment decisions and is beneficial in reducing the risk of the public sector investing in the reuse of abandoned public buildings, in aiding in reuse cases that revitalize urban economic development, and in appreciating the value of sustainable city development.

Building Information

Building maintenance is gaining increased attention in the various fields of scientific research, Building information modelling (BIM) is used in the maintenance management and has helped facility management to handle a large volume of maintenance information, including drawings, specifications, lists and reports. BIM proved its effectiveness as a repository for various types of data in buildings maintenance and a tool to support decision making in maintenance. stepping the best decision at the facility is not only based on quantitative data but also on the knowledge and experience acquired by the company and the employees. this experience may be lost forever due to resignation and retirement if they are not documented. In this research work the authors provide a methodology for obtaining knowledge while performing maintenance of public buildings using BIM and DYNAMO applications, where parametric models provide us with a high-central frame for storing information and by adopting of visual programming, which provides great capabilities for processing, extraction, classification and the export of data from the BIM model to organize the knowledge management process extensively. This serves to facilitate decision-making through the BIM dependent knowledge base which helps to obtain and re-use of generated knowledge.
