Abstract
The maintenance of building heritage is a main strategy for assuring the sustainable growth of our cities. It bears out also in later laws on Public Works (Italy) through the plan of maintenance, elaborated in the construction phase project. In order to acquire sustainable growth, public building heritage must not be considered an invariable endowment for financial reasons, but more justly an endowment characterised by a rapid development. This requires a monitoring and control system in order to come to a decision about the maintenance of the building. Computer technology allows one to manage a great deal of data on vast and different typologies of building heritages, and to monitor their status and value, and both in time the maintenance interventions consistent with the financial funds available. A computerised management of information collected to plan the building maintenance is required both to optimise the resources available to the Manager Organisation, and to co-ordinate operators, activities and interventions. Following these principles we have projected a software to computerise maintenance booklets. It is provided with a data processing system, that uses periodically updated databases. The information are collected by periodical inspections and all the interventions are annotated. The software allows to settle the performances required after maintenance interventions, the intervention note-book, the foreseen costs and the operators. The software for maintenance assures an informative flow directed to the operators involved in maintenance activities. In fact, maintenance managers, officers working in building departments and users of the buildings can use different functions of the software, automatically selected by password, through the net connection. In order to guarantee a high quality of maintenance, we have established the parameters for the evaluation of the building quality and the conditions in which the examination and the exchange of information among operators is to be carried out. The success of information exchange between management organisations and private citizens is for assuring a timely maintenance intervention. The software for the maintenance management includes a quality plan for the improvement of efficacy and efficiency of maintenance interventions. This plan forecasts: a) the procedure for limiting mistakes in the analysis, inspection, diagnosis and intervention phases; b) the singling out of responsibility on the part of the operators involved in maintenance activities; c) the suitability of the procedures and activities required by the software for the maintenance management.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
