Abstract
A hotel building in Yogyakarta was studied for its service life planning of electronic, electrical, and mechanical components the building. The study aims to assess the service life of hotel buildings including its electronics, mechanical and electrical components, and estimating the service life of each of the components. Data was collected from practitioners working in building maintenance office of several hotels in Yogyakarta. The Data was carefully analysed using descriptive statistics. This paper discusses the approaches and application of the availability of reference service life and service period data can be collected and applied in life cycle costing. The results of service-life data for periodical maintenance and replacement for various electronics, both mechanical and electrical parts are also presented for life cycle planning.
Highlights
Service life is quite crucial in the developmental stages of buildings and infrastructures
By adopting a methodology for service life planning of building components and materials described by [2], this study aims at; 1) Collecting service life data for the electronic and mechanical (E & ME) components of the hotel building; 2) Finding out the service maintenance interval of the E & ME components of the building
This study provided the following recommendations and perhaps similar information should be gathered for more accuracy based on the empirical research methodology
Summary
Service life is quite crucial in the developmental stages of buildings and infrastructures. The service life usually assessed for investment decision, the longer service life is the better but less economical because more money will be spent on the initial investment cost since a higher eminence costs more. If the initial cost spent for designing a good quality is high, the maintenance cost spent should be less throughout the use of the appliance. Service life is quite helpful for creating a valid decision policy that can be implemented to improve status quo. To fulfill the requirements set by the designer during construction, the constructor has to comply with specification and rely on the competence of his workers for the construction of the building. In the operational stage of the building, service life is useful for maintenance activities. Besides the service life of the components for replacement, service period data is needed for the building components are needed for the building to function adequately. [1]
