Optimizing building maintenance by eva‎luating building materials

9/13/2023 12:00:00 AM

The selection of construction materials and equipment considering future maintainability (maintenance section) is a critical issue to reduce building life cycle costs. But the question that arises is that the selection of building materials and equipment is usually done by engineers and designers who are not familiar with the performance of materials over time and do not have the ability to maintain them .Therefore, a model and system should be provided that is developed by building managers and facility experts who are more familiar with the performance of materials and materials throughout the life of the project, so that engineers and designers can choose the best materials at the very beginning stages of the project when it is possible to change at the lowest cost. and have the materials considering the approach of maintainability in the future. In this research, with the help of interviews with building managers and facility experts and reviewing articles, 13 criteria were obtained to eva‎luate the maintainability of construction materials and materials. Then, using the combined method of BWM-TOPSIS, a model was presented for the eva‎luation of materials and equipment. A case study was considered to check the model, the selection of building water pumps from the building's mechanical system and lighting sensors and LED lamps from the electrical system. Creating such a system will greatly help engineers and designers to make the best choice among a large number of products from different companies in the market to improve building performance and reduce maintenance costs, as well as eliminate materials and equipment over time. Poor quality that creates additional costs during the life cycle of the building.
