Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been one of the most significant developments
in the construction industry in the last decade. BIM has been used in various stages of
construction, including maintenance and operation of facilities. BIM has a
ssisted the
management of the facility to deal with a large amount of maintenance information
including drawings, specifications. BIM has proven its effectiveness as a repository for
various types of data in building maintenance and a tool to support decision-making in the
field of maintenance.
However, the optimum maintenance of the facility is not only based on quantitative data,
but also on the knowledge and experience acquired by the company and the workers.
These experiences may be lost forever if they are not documented due to resignation and
retirement.
In this research we provide a methodology for obtaining knowledge while performing
maintenance of public buildings using BIM and Dynamo application using Parametric
models, which provide us with a high-central framework for information storage and
Visual Programming, which provides great capabilities for processing and extracting data
from a model BIM, processed, categorized into design, implementation and operational
knowledge, exported and re-linked to the building elements of the BIM model, up to a
BIM-oriented maintenance model with all design knowledge and addressed to the design
authorities.
School buildings in Syria suffer of the high cost of maintenance works. In addition,
there is no fear methodology to organize the maintenance process and evaluate the
performance of these buildings.
This research aims to develop a system for evalu
ating the performance of school
buildings in the city of Tartous, in order to be used in the maintenance policy for these
buildings and other buildings in other regions.
The evaluating process is executed by calculating a performance indicator, which
defines the state of the building depending on three sub-indicators: functional, technical
and healthiness indicator.
Maintenance manual and evaluating lists were developed to evaluate the components
of school building. In addition, many questionnaires were set to determine the relative
importance for each component of school building.
The improved model was used to calculate the performance indicators for several
schools. As a result, most of these schools were in a moderate situation. Also, the results
clarify that some components have law state comparing to other ones and we should focus
on them in organized maintenance processes.
Building maintenance is gaining an increasing attention in the field of scientific
research and there was a need for the use of new technologies in maintenance
management, , as the facility management deal with a large amount of information relatin
g
to maintenance, which includes drawings and specifications, lists, and reports, and the use
of paper files leads to decrease the efficiency and create a shortage of data and information.
We offer in this research tool to manage the maintenance process by using the BIM
through linking deterioration models and three-dimensional model of the facility to be
maintained, then compensate the external investigation data for maintenance work in these
models, to get at the end of this research and with the help of the possibilities offered by
Revit database to an upcoming maintenance items and arrange them according to their
importance and impact on the facility , the estimated budget for the periodic maintenance
and distribution of this budget on the various construction elements , the development of
resources plan for next year and up to the knowledge database of maintenance will help in
determining the supplier lifecycle and the coefficient of replacement.
Building maintenance is gaining an increasing worldwide recognition in many
fields of study.as a result; a remarkable shift in building maintenance management from
preventive approach to predictive approach is taking a place now a days. That is ach
ievable
through building of an evaluative model to assess a variety of alternative decisions and
make the right decisions, taking in the consideration building condition and the available
budget for maintenance.
In Syria, there is lack of effective building maintenance for governmental buildings
because we use an approach depends on doing the work after the fault happened, that leads
to deteriorating in the all building's parts.
In this paper, we study maintenance reasons and importance degree for every single
components by designing questionnaire, divide the building in to its essential parts and
components, and link them to maintenance works.
At the end, we get mathematical models called deterioration models assist in
predictable maintenance works and distributing the budget, and to make sure about validity
of these models we apply them in the dormitory in Tishreen University.
