Abstract
AbstractThe maintenance model described in Chap. 3 is applied to analyse individually nine constructive solutions (six façade claddings: ceramic tiling systems (CTS), natural stone claddings (NSC), rendered façades (RF), painted surfaces (PS), external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS), architectural concrete façades (ACF); two window frames types: aluminium window frames (AWF), wooden window frames (WWF); and one roof cladding solution: ceramic claddings in pitched roofs (CCPR)). For each constructive solution, three maintenance strategies are addressed, ranging from a maintenance strategy where preventive maintenance is not applied (most common maintenance strategy nowadays) to a maintenance strategy with a higher level of preventive maintenance (including cleaning operations and minor interventions). The results are assessed through four parameters: service life and durability, efficiency index, life cycle costs, and number of total replacements.
