Abstract
The unavoidable deterioration of the built urban front in the cities has been increasingly generating a huge environmental impact. From this perspective, it is necessary to develop systematized methods that facilitate strategic maintenance of the facades and which study the variables that can potentially play a significant role in the damage occurrence. Therefore it is convenient to implement analytical methodologies to the decision making process on conservation and sustainability of the built urban front with a macro-scale approach. The BRAIN platform (Building Research Analysis and Information Network) is a Multi-scale Predictive System of the Degradation of the Urban Front. By means of periodic inspections, BRAIN allows analyses of damage progression and prediction of the future affectation, based on survival/reliability statistical models. The aim of this paper is to introduce a preliminary study on the implementation of the Urban Laboratory in the city of Brno, Czech Republic. Results of this primary approach have been displayed and discussed.

The aim of this paper is to introduce a preliminary study on the implementation of the Urban Laboratory in the city of Brno, Czech Republic
In the presented methodological framework, the data and variables to be considered were obtained through the implementation of a specific Urban Laboratory, in this case the data corresponds to the Urban Laboratory in the city of Brno in the Czech Republic, developed in 2017 and presented in Acosta and Torres (2018) [1]
Summary
The progressive degradation experienced by the urban front in the cities is a phenomenon in which the effects of various climatic factors are manifested. The deterioration of the built urban front results over time into the shortening of the useful life of the buildings and promoting the replacement of the built entities generating adverse environmental effects. In this sense, the current research presents an approach that seeks conservation of the built urban front through implementation of a methodology which, by means of the survey and statistical processing of multi-scale sample data, allows the assessment of the state of the facades and an estimation of their potential future deterioration.
