Design/methodology/approach Computational fluid dynamics modelling approach was used to analyze the prediction of the airflow and pollutant distribution patterns for different locations of known pollutant source inside...

... preferences or biases of the decision maker(s). This paper seeks to apply a new property management 3D decision model known as iconCUR to investigate the impact of criterion weights on the decision to intervene.

...Weilin Shen; Qiping Shen; Zhang Xiaoling Purpose This paper introduces a building information model (BIM)‐based user pre‐occupancy evaluation method (UPOEM), which is applied in architectural design stage to narrow the gap between inexperienced clients and designers. It aims to improve...

...Christian Coenen; Daniel von Felten; Mirjam Schmid Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the specifics of facilities management (FM) process modelling and the application of the service blueprinting technique within the field of FM. The paper aims to develop a visualisation method...

... of built‐facilities performance and minimized risks. The objective of this research is to develop an integrated facilities management (FM) model for healthcare facilities. Design/methodology/approach The paper presents a case study analysis of an Israeli acute care hospital, in which the integrated...

...Anna‐Liisa Lindholm Purpose The aim of this paper is to describe the creation process of the model for identifying the added value of corporate real estate management (CREM), implement the developed model in a case organisation and test whether it works in practice. Design/methodology/approach...

...Christian Stoy; Susanne Kytzia Purpose Today the costs of real estate are the second or third largest cost factor in most companies. The planning of so‐called occupancy costs, therefore, plays a particularly important role. Cost models that permit a forecast of these costs serve to assist...

... This case study has shown that both hardware, i.e. facilities and software, i.e. business philosophy of the organisation are important to enhance its competitive position. Research limitations/implications This study has looked at only one case. Future research may use the same five‐force model...

...D.R. Johnston; S.L. McFallan; P.A. Tilley The property standard index model was implemented as an interactive computer application to provide a decision support tool for the Queensland Department of Housing. The model was developed to assist housing managers evaluate the condition data collected...

... the framework presented herein is designed to understand the role of the FM in the context of airport facilities, the analytical technique underpinning it is applicable to designing evaluation models to perform analyses of the FM influence in the case of other facilities. The paper’s relevance thus extends...

...A.H. Boussabaine Maintenance and running costs contribute significantly to the total cost of running facilities. Almost half of the energy consumed in the UK is used in buildings. Energy consumption can be attributed to many factors. Describes the fundamentals associated with modelling running...

... not perceived as such before. To grasp this opportunity facilities managers need to engage in a balanced, coherent set of operational and strategic interactions and this paper sets out a generic model that identifies these. In addition, to address the strategic issues strong relationships with key players need...

... in a forthcoming book Net Gain in Construction. This static method of information storage is now being superseded by a dynamic model, whereby information is acquired from online databases – often as a simple extension to existing legacy database systems. This means that the raw information is devoid of any...

... with this, particularly energy costs. A total of 19 sport centres in the City of Liverpool in the UK are investigated, using data elicited from the Liverpool Leisure Services Directorate. The energy operating costs were analysed using statistical methods. Six models were developed to predict total energy costs. Testing...

... as a “dynamic whole”. The intention in this research has been to construct a fire safety management system which is both efficacious and resilient. To this end a systemic approach to fire safety for an offshore platform has been pursued, employing the Viable System Model and the Failure Paradigm Method. © MCB...
