Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) is a common solution for the maintenance of large complex facilities under tight economic conditions. Effective implementation of CBM requires the development of performance indicators for building components and systems. The objectives of the proposed...

The reliability of service life prediction of building components strongly affects the effectiveness of maintenance policy setting. Despite continuous research and development efforts, existing methods still suffer lack of robustness. Typical failure mechanisms in exterior cladding systems,...

Global competitiveness and increasing performance requirements have placed facilities management (FM) under constraints of limited resources, particularly in non-core aspects of facilities, such as maintenance and operations. The hypothesis applied in this research is that the actual service...

Over the course of the past three decades, facilities management has become the subject of an increasing number of research and development efforts. The main objective of the present research was to examine the efficiency of maintenance under alternative maintenance policies and different...
