For Current Information about BIM Project Execution Planning is currently at http://bim.psu.edu/Uses/default.aspx

Description:

A process in which the functionality of the building structure (walls, floors, roof, etc) and equipment serving the building (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, etc) are maintained over the operational life of a facility. A successful maintenance program will improve building performance, reduce energy repairs, and reduce overall maintenance costs.

Potential Value:

• Plan maintenance activities proactively and appropriately allocate maintenance staff
• Track maintenance history
• Reduce reactive maintenance and the number of emergency maintenance repairs
• Increase productivity of maintenance staff because the physical location of equipment/system is clearly understood
• Evaluate different maintenance approaches based on cost
• Allow facility managers to justify the need and cost of establishing a reliability centered maintenance program

 

Resources Required:

• Design review software to view Record Model and components
• Building Automation System (BAS) linked to Record Model
• Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) linked to Record Model
• User-Friendly Dashboard Interface linked to Record Model to provide building performance information and/or other information to educate building users

 

Team Competencies Required:

• Ability to understand and manipulate of CMMS and building control systems with Record Model
• Ability to understand typical equipment operation and maintenance practices
• Ability to manipulate, navigate, and review a 3D Model
