Diretrizes para incorporação de requisitos de manutenibilidade no comissionamento de projeto de novos edifícios públicos

Abstract

Building maintenance has the function of maintaining, restoring, and improving the original conditions of systems and equipment, and it's also capable of preventing the occurrence or recurrence of failures, reducing use and operation costs and increasing resource availability. However, achieving maintenance that comprises these activities effectively and efficiently, requires carrying out proper and systematic planning, following appropriate objectives, strategies and maintenance policies, as well as incorporating the concept of maintainability into the design process of a building. Despite this, in the context of public buildings, the planning of maintenance activity is often outdated or neglected, making it difficult or impossible to carry it out, which can lead to cumulative results of the increasing deterioration of the building and harmful effects to the occupants. Therefore, the objective of this research is to propose guidelines for the insertion of requirements for maintainability in the design of public buildings, through the commissioning process. The research method was divided into five phases. The first phase comprised a Literature Review regarding the context of the research. The second, exploratory phase, carried out a Narrative Literature Review, aims to distinguish the building maintenance and commissioning processes. The third phase is of comprehension, divided into two paths: the first had the purpose of diagnosing the design process of public buildings from the maintenance point of view, based on two case studies, and the second aimed to identify design requirements for maintainability through a Systematic Literature Review. The fourth phase consisted of the analysis and evaluation of the design processes, seeking to identify opportunities to insert commissioning process in the development of public building design and, still in the fourth phase, the Design Requirements Guidelines for Maintainability were developed. In the final stage, the Generic Model of the Public Buildings Design Process was proposed, integrating the Commissioning Process, as well as the Design Requirements Guidelines for Maintainability. In view of the product of this thesis, the main conclusions showed that a restructuring of the design process, including changes in design management process, communication, documentation, the use of technologies, as well as an orientation regarding the commissioning process, can add value to the studied subject.
