This study recommends using Failure Model Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) for a thorough assessment of building services reliability and availability. Further quantitative studies using hospital data are advised for more robust risk management in building services maintenance.

Area of Science:

  • Engineering
  • Risk Management
  • Building Services

Background:

  • Building services maintenance is inherently risky.
  • Risk assessment is crucial throughout the lifecycle of building services, from installation to disposal.
  • Current assessment methods may be subjective.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for the application of Failure Model Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) in building services.
  • To highlight the importance of comprehensive reliability and availability studies.
  • To emphasize proactive risk assessment in building services design and maintenance.

Main Methods:

  • Application of Failure Model Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) concepts.
  • Qualitative assessment of risks in building services.

  • Recommendation for quantitative analysis using historical data.

    • Main Results:

    • FMECA provides a framework for a more comprehensive study of reliability and availability.
    • Risk assessment should be integrated into all stages of building services.
    • Subjectivity in current methods suggests a need for more data-driven approaches.

    Conclusions:

    • FMECA is a valuable tool for enhancing the reliability and availability of building services.
    • Proactive and continuous risk assessment is essential for managing building services.
    • Future research should focus on quantitative studies using real-world data for improved accuracy.
