Abstract
Buildings in Taiwan have gradually aged. Moreover, recently, improper use and management have resulted in numerous incidents, causing deaths and injuries. However, the government hasn’t yet to form a comprehensive and unified mechanism for building inspection, maintenance, regulation and management. As prevention precedes remedy, the importance of Professional Maintenance Management (PMM) for building health check, repair and life prolongation is getting emphasized.
The concept of Building Medicine, first proposed by this research, practices medical analogy to develop professional maintenance management on buildings. This research surveys present maintenance and management mechanism of public buildings, and implements field survey in health check industry in Japan. Secondary data analysis, expert interview, and literature review are also adopted as methodologies. Then, the research presents a Building Health Check (BHC) mechanism deriving from the concept of building medicine. A Building Medical Records (BMR) is developed based on the design of human medical records and the method of problem-oriented medical record (POMR). The idea of Building Triage is established from the triage in medical science. Finally, by investigating sixty national universities in Taiwan with questionnaire survey and Analytic Hierarchy (AHP) process, fourteen evaluation criteria affecting building maintenance priority are formulated as a Maintenance Priority Benchmark (MPB) for school buildings. Three mechanisms of Building Medicine, analogy to medical science, can be evaluated as feasible concept.
The three mechanisms, BHC, BMR and MPB, are interdisciplinary researches which combine the areas of property management, medicine and public hygiene. Academically, the main purpose of this research is to apply health management of human medicine in property management and to be a reference for further study. Practically, with regulations and mechanisms reviewing and BHC mechanism presenting, it is hoped that as a result, the range of compulsory inspection and maintenance of buildings can be extended. Furthermore, it suggests that the government should delegate professional property management companies to supervise and direct the inspection, declaration, and safety and hygiene maintenance of public or private buildings.
