ABSTRACT
In the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) phase of an existing building, frequently, different systems are available to manage data about building maintenance. However, current practices do not integrate these systems and still manually process dispersed and unformatted data. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the potential benefits of the integration of data of Building Maintenance Management (BMM) in Building Information Modelling (BIM) in existing buildings. To do so, a questionnaire to evaluate the Facility Management practices in buildings is presented. This questionnaire is then used in the case study of Terrassa Campus at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). Conclusion demonstrated that the integration of BMM in BIM can enable support for maintenance decisions and increase the efficiency of the maintenance process.
