Abstract

The article deals with the issues of building exploitation and maintenance and focuses on the characteristics of the maintenance strategies mentioned in the ISO 15686-5:2017 Buildings and constructed assets - Service life planning - Part 5: Life-cycle costing. The article describes all three strategies recommended by the ISO standard (preventive, corrective and deferred maintenance). The purpose of the article is to conduct whole life costs analysis of three variants of modernisations, renovations and maintenance strategies for a selected building. The methods of economic efficiency assessment were used, such as net present value (NPV) method and internal rate of return (IRR) method.

Summary

Introduction

Along with the global technological progress, the perception of the world and directions of development are changing. Particular attention is paid to the estimation of life cycle costs (LCC) for each phase of the life cycle (design, completion, exploitation and decommissioning) taking into account all aspects related to the durability This is confirmed by numerous scientific publications in the field of national (Polish) and world literature [4, 7, 12, 13]. The authors conducted whole life costs (WLC) analysis of three variants of modernisations, renovations and maintenance strategies for a selected building located in Cracow For this purpose, methods of economic efficiency assessment, such as net present value (NPV) method and internal rate of return (IRR) method were used
