The management of any large building stock with limited resources poses a problem of prioritization of refurbishment actions.

For the reasons stated above, this paper presents a decision support tool that can help prioritize refurbishment actions on large building assets.

Abstract

The management of any large building stock with limited resources poses a problem of prioritization of refurbishment actions. Also, available technical information about the building stock is often incomplete and the process of standardization and updating is expensive and time consuming. Some public owners are developing preliminary BIM models of their stock, but they are willing to limit the complexity of the models within the lowest amount of information required for management and maintenance, so as to make that process affordable. Indeed, administrations are challenged by their duty relative to planning regular maintenance and operation of buildings, because of the legislation in force, which requires monitoring of their facilities. For the reasons stated above, this paper presents a decision support tool that can help prioritize refurbishment actions on large building assets. To this purpose, many requirements must be jointly considered in this examination, each requirement being assessed by means of one or several indicators. Then the indicators are compared one another, according to a multi-criteria approach, that weighs the several criteria and rank the assets. In order to deal with the extensive and uncertain information that must be managed in this process, indicators are estimated by means of Bayesian Networks. This tool is used first to assess the technical indicators and rank the assets, while marking any facilities not complying with regulations. Then, additional Bayesian Networks are in charge of estimating the budget needed to upgrade non-compliant facilities with minimum legislation requirements. The outcomes of this research can be used even to assess the level of detail of the information that must be included in BIM models of the stock, in fact acting as guidelines for their development. Finally, the application of the decision tool on a real test case will be presented.
