A framework for automated data acquisition for safety-oriented maintenance of buildings

Abstract: Existing maintenance methods in the building industry are insufficient. A major factor contributing to this situation is the lack of in-service system data, which characterizes the building industry. A framework for automated data acquisition to support optimal safety-oriented maintenance of complex building systems is presented in this paper. It is inspired by methods used in the aviation industry but is tailored to the requirements of the building industry. The method is verified through an application in a real-life case study of an automated parking garage.
