Abstract
When it comes to the scheming and construction of a building, much emphasis goes to its function, cost, façade, process, and quality while little attention is paid to the upkeep after operation, especially in the planning and management. Thus it is required to have a large budget to maintain the upkeep of a building. However, due to the decrease in governmental subsidy, the difficulties in the architectural maintenance in each school have become apparent. Shortages in budget as well as in maquette for prevention and maintenance and the disregard to precaution planning and scheming have directly led to the menace in school buildings and public safety, which calls for the public for further consideration.
Because of its most durable and frequently used qualities among school facilities, dormitories remain central to architectural maintenance. This study examines the brick-made dormitories in National Taiwan University (the 8th Female Dorm, 47 years; the 9th Female Dorm, 39 years; the 14th Male Dorm), and the reinforced concrete-made dormitories (the 1st Female Dorm, 28 years; the 2ed Female Dorm, 16 years; the 1st Male Dorm, 26 years; the 6th Male Dorm, 16 years), with documents in the last fifty years, to investigate the proportion of Life Cycle Cost (LCC) in Taiwan. The study finds that the sources of cost and conversion to cash have much to do with the proportion of LCC while operational and energy costs are the priority in LCC planning in student dormitories. Moreover, by the analysis of the cycle and currents of modular maintenance, the study concludes that a cycle of five years is appropriate for maintenance planning. Furthermore, according to the analysis of repairing items, the study provides certain strategies for A/C/E for planning devise, construction and operational maintenance in order to evaluate the operational maintenance benefit, to increase the construction quality, and to guide for maintenance planning. Finally, through examining regular and irregular maintenance costs and increased demand, the study points out maintenance cost and prediction module for the future reference to budgeting.
