This book focuses on spearheading the integration of maintainability and sustainable facility management right from the planning & design stage. It introduces the concept of green maintainability and discusses considerations to maximize the performance, resource and energy efficiency, while minimizing a facility's total life cycle cost, embodied energy, carbon emission, environmental impact and consumption of matter/energy throughout its life ...

This book focuses on spearheading the integration of maintainability and sustainable facility management right from the planning & design stage. It introduces the concept of green maintainability and discusses considerations to maximise the performance, resource and energy efficiency, while minimising a facility's total life cycle cost, embodied energy, carbon emission, environmental impact and consumption of matter/energy throughout its life ...

This book introduces the latest construction practices and processes for tall buildings from foundation to roof. It attempts to acquaint readers with the methods, materials, equipment and systems used for the construction of tall buildings.The text progresses through the stages of site investigation, excavation and foundations, basement construction, structural systems for the superstructure, site and material handling, wall and floor construc...

With the motto of "doing it right the first time", this book focuses on spearheading the integration of designers, constructors and Facility Management, by providing easy-to-read tables summarising knowledge learned from past mistakes and maintainability benchmarks. Based on the predictive/preventive approach, the tables serve to define acceptable standards in design, construction and operation practices, to ensure the standard and quality of ...

Much attention has been given to the increasing number of defects on building facades in relation to the construction industry's growing use of large panel curtain walls. This book highlights the various types of defects commonly found on building facades under tropical conditions. The facade elements discussed include natural stone, glass, metal sheeting, plaster and tiling. The causes of defects, such as poor workmanship, inadequate design a...

Facade staining is a centuries-old building defect that is globally widespread. Millions of dollars are wasted annually for its rectification. This book provides insight into the underlying causes of facade staining and proposes an approach to address the root of the problem.
