Optimizing maintenance of electrical components with BIM and web-based inputs to improve safety performance in government green building

Abstract

A green building with proper maintenance will have higher energy efficiency and longer lifetime, as damages to building utilities can be minimised. One of the vital utilities are electrical components. Damages to electrical components may have fatal consequences such as short circuit or fire. This research aims to improve the maintenance of electrical components of green building. A case study is taken from a government green building for electrical components, in order to meet the building reliability requirements which consist of safety, health, comfort, and convenience. Maintenance system which is Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) level 4 of building maintenance integrated with information systems and Building Information Modeling (BIM) are influential factors for building maintenance performance. The research methods used are archival analysis, case study, survey, expert judgement, and statical analysis. This research generates product of web based information system integrated with BIM, and also mathematical model that enhance the maintenance performance of government green building for electrical components would become more effective and efficient especially for safety performance.
