Managing the lifecycle of the built environment is essential to maintaining and extending its useful life. Degradation is a natural phenomenon, but interventions appear as a way to postpone it.
Identifying defects before they evolve is a challenge, especially in places that are difficult to access. Thus, the use of advanced tools is a facilitator from conception to the end of life.
The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) emerges as a tool applicable to modelling and project management, planning, construction, operation, maintenance, and end-of-life.
Taken together, blockchain can facilitate diagnosis and decision-making. These can be based on inspections and diagnoses carried out, for example, with resources such as drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), thermographic cameras, and 3D modelling, among other tools that allow the professional to easily access the different areas of the building, as well as your equipment, even making it possible to view faults that are not visible in loco.
Design failures, planning errors, non-performed maintenance, and lack of management are some of the causes of failures observed in buildings. In order to facilitate the management of these procedures and encourage an integrated vision of the enterprise, tools can be used.
The objective of this special edition is to present innovative alternatives to facilitate the management, planning, construction, operation, maintenance, retrofit, and restoration of buildings. The use of tools such as BIM, Digital Twin, construction 4.0, and 5.0, as well as automation equipment can be alternatives to this gap.
Through the application of these new management concepts and new inspection technologies, it is intended to extend the performance and useful life of buildings.
Issues within this Research Topic could be connected to, but are not limited to, the following listed areas:
- Use of BIM in management, planning, construction, operation, maintenance and end-of-life;
- Digital twin applied to the inspection, diagnosis, and conservation of buildings;
- Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for inspection;
