Abstract
During plan and construction stage, architects and users much focus on the function, cost, schedule, quality, and even facade, but less pay attention to the integration of facilities and its maintenance planning. That makes the result that lots of budget puts into the extra human resource and fixed maintenance expense for the daily operation. Also, due to the decreasing subsidy from government, the difficulties in building maintenance of each school have become apparent. Shortages in budget as well as the disregard of planning and scheming have directly led utility cost a great drain. More and more colleges have to take responsibility for their budget balance, which problem calls for immediate solution.
Library is the most representative building in national university campus. The long using duration and high frequency makes library become a good research target from maintenance and energy-saving points of view. This study examines the brick-made Old Main Library in National Taiwan University (78 years)、the reinforced concrete-made National Taiwan University Library (9 years), and the reinforced concrete-made National Chengchi University Library (29 years) with real data of the last fifty years, and investigate the distribution of maintenance and operation in Life Cycle Cost (LCC). The study concludes that utility cost is the main expense and needs to be paid much attention. The utility cost per year is almost equal to all maintenance cost in National Taiwan University library. Furthermore, through evaluating illumination system and air condition cost, the study proposes improvable suggestions for library managers from cost saving perspective. Finally, according to the analysis of repairing items of each case study, some operational management strategies are presented for future improvement.
