Abstract:

The current development of smart buildings is conditioned by the development of smart technologies, bringing many new phenomena into the construction industry that change ownership, user and management environments. The optimized and truly functional smart building already includes engineering and non-technical aspects, which must, however, be respected during all life cycles. This requires the emergence of completely new expertise or the extension of the existing expertise, including facility management. Smart buildings enable cost savings and facilitated operation to facility management. Mor

Abstract:

BIM is a concept and also a method currently applied throughout the world in the modern building construction. The impact and benefits of the BIM method are clear across all stages of the life cycle of buildings (project, realization, operation, demolition). The longest and most expensive phase of buildings life is the operation and usage part. Many common aspects and linkage of processes between the BIM method and the facility management, i.e. a modern asset management method, can provide greater efficiency for these activities, help reduce the cost of required building operations and mainten

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the use of virtual reality environments (VRE) for maintenance activities by augmenting a virtual facility representation and integrating relevant information regarding the status of systems and the space itself, while providing simple ways to control them. Design/methodology/approach The research focuses in the implementation of a VRE prototype of a building management system using game engine technologies. To evaluate the prototype, a usability study has been conducted that contrasts the virtual reality interface with a corresponding legacy appl

Abstract:

The building industry has experienced a widespread transition towards green buildings and consequently a growing need for green facilities professionals to maximize green building potential in terms of energy efficiency, water conservation and waste reduction in their operational stage. Green buildings have unique technological systems that require facility managers to have relevant knowledge and skills to conduct proper facilities management and maintenance planning to maximize the potential of green buildings. It is important, then, to investigate whether knowledge gaps for facility managers

Abstract:

Facility maintenance management (FMM) has become an important topic for research on the operation phase of the construction life cycle. Managing FMM effectively is extremely difficult owing to various factors and environments. One of the difficulties is the performance of 2D graphics when depicting maintenance service. Building information modeling (BIM) uses precise geometry and relevant data to support the maintenance service of facilities depicted in 3D object-oriented CAD. This paper proposes a new and practical methodology with application to FMM using BIM technology. Using BIM technology

Abstract:

Development of a business plan, facility development, and phased expansion for a multi-faceted horticulture operation will be discussed. The company, The Shepherd's Field, presently consists of fruit and vegetable production distributed through farmers' markets. The owner wants to expand the operation to include bedding plant production, also to be sold at farmers' markets. The objective of this project was to develop a case study for use in greenhouse management courses that would facilitate making management decisions. The present owner has limited resources available. Through researching fa

Abstract:

In nuclear power plants, plant management systems are not only very important for operation and maintenance of the facilities, but also play a very important role in analyzing and reporting the events to the authorities when a failure or accident occurs in the facility. In addition, it is also important to ensure that event records are managed transparently so as not to cause any attempt to cover up events. Therefore, this paper proposes a tamper free plant operation system by applying blockchain technology to the integrated plant management system of Korea hydro and nuclear power (KHNP). As a

Abstract:

The seaport is a place for cargo transshipment and storage. The speed of vehicle processing is one of the indicators of port’s performance. The time of vehicles being under processing depends on the performance of a fleet of transshipment machinery. The stochastic nature of vehicles’ arriving leads to the intense operation of handling facilities and formation of wait lists for vehicles to be loaded or unloaded, or to the downtime of transshipment machinery when vehicles are absent. Depending on the operational situation, transshipment machinery is brought out for maintenance operations that ca

Abstract:

Pork producers can have difficulty operating or expanding existing facilities or establishing new facilities based on perceived negative impacts to the environment and surrounding community. It is critical to understand the characteristics and practices adopted in swine facilities to evaluate the extend of these impacts. A survey, completed by 69 pork producers in Wisconsin, was conducted to assess how facility design and management affect odor, water quality, water consumption, air quality, traffic, and noise. A wide range of production facilities participated in the survey where 29% of respo

By connecting Project and Facility managements, the facility acquires a new method during the process management as early as in the initial stage of its life cycle. If a facility manager is engaged in these initial stages, in which parameters of a future facility are defined, he can use his experience and a different point of view to help architects, designers, investor and other participants in the building project avoid errors in design and operation collisions that would come out in implementation or exploitation stages.
