Resumen de COMASS - Comprehensive Maintainability Scoring System for Buildings
A holistic grading system is essential for design-construction-maintenance integration and prevention of prevalent and recurrent building defects. The proposed COMASS (comprehensive maintainability scoring system for buildings) is a decision-enhancement tool applicable for part or whole of a new or existing building. Data was collected through case studies, surveys and face-to-face interviews with building professionals and facility managers.
Analysis of causes and criticality of common defects using FMECA was conducted. Defect-mitigating factors along with scoring logic were analyzed.
Based on objective and subjective criteria, AHP integrated 9 major elements of a building using relative weights for various zone-height combinations. An online application of COMASS was developed.
