“…Some researchers [72] consider methods such as the BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) or approaches such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) as real performance evaluation tools, although they refer to performances in a more than qualitative way but in any case codified by means of scores and/or attributes.…”

Current facility management practice relies on different systems which require new technologies to integrate and manage information more easily. Building information modeling offers a good opportunity to improve facility information management by providing a unified platform for various data sources rather than an intuitive information interface. Although current research trends reveal that there is a continuously growing interest in facility management aided by building information modeling, an integrated model is still hard to obtain. This paper aims at developing a novel methodology based on building information modeling and facility management systems integration, underpinned by a performance information model. The implementation process of a performance information model is described, including information technologies involved, the data and process requirements, and the building performance assessment methods used. A first pilot case-study has been conducted with regards to surgery rooms in healthcare buildings. The proposal can support condition-based maintenance work schedule, as well as the achievement of organizational, environmental, and technical requirements. Among the practical implications found: Improved technological and environmental performances assessment; better visualization of building condition; improved decision-making process; facilitated maintenance tasks planning and maintenance records management.

“…The research developed a methodology that considers the critical sustainability aspects and practices in Iran. After a thorough investigation of existing assessment methods with a view of adapting them for Nigerian conditions, Amasuomo et al [20] proposed the comprehensive performance assessment system for Nigeria (CPASN) consisting of three main steps as a level of sustainability, the indicators, and the outcome. Other research has been conducted by Shad et al [21] with an aim of developing green building assessment tool in Iran for an office building with five certification levels established to enhance environmental, social, and economic aspects of the construction activities.…”

: Many building assessment tools exist for guiding building facilities toward sustainability. Some tools are internationally recognized while others are for specific countries based on local needs. This study endeavored to develop a building sustainability assessment framework for Kazakhstan. The framework was developed based on the review of building performance assessment methods such as leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED), building research establishment environmental assessment methodology (BREEAM), comprehensive assessment system for building environmental efficiency (CASBEE), and international initiative for sustainable built environment (SBTool), and considering the local conditions in Kazakhstan. A two-round Delphi survey was employed to develop the assessment categories and indicators by local experts from the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. Mean and standard deviation values were used to analyze the survey data and to make the decision on the level of agreement amongst the Delphi panelists. The proposed framework consists of nine assessment categories, 46 assessment indicators, and 142 parameters covering the four climatic regions in Kazakhstan and considering the environmental, social, and economic perspectives of the country’s sustainable development goals. The introduction of the framework is expected to serve as a reference for establishing the regional building sustainability assessment tool that will aid to increase the awareness of the public and help policymakers to solve sustainability-related issues in Kazakhstan.

“…Generally, rating codes refer to it as a function of health and wellbeing (e.g. ventilation, view out) (Haroglu, 2013), whereas it is suggested that it should include factors such as education and awareness of sustainability (Mateus and Braganca, 2011) or even factors related to social cohesion and participation in the design process (Amasuomo et al, 2017). Such a broader understanding of social sustainability has implications not only in terms of the assessment model (e.g.…”
