Letter from the Editors
The 35th CIB W78 conference took place in Chicago in 2018, with a theme focused onfostering, encouraging, and promoting research and development in the application ofintegrated information technology (IT) throughout the life cycle of the design, construction,and occupancy of buildings and related facilities. Organized by Professors David Arditi andIvan Mutis (Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago), Timo Hartmann (TechnischeUniversität Berlin), Robert Amor (University of Auckland), and with special and valuablesupport from Bill East (Prairie Sky Consulting, USA), it brought together more than 200scholars from 40 countries, who presented the innovative and unique concepts and methodsfeatured in this collection of papers.
With the publication of these contributions, we expect to scaffold scholars’ motivations toinspire and discover the pressing research questions that need to be answered in the comingdecade. Framed under topic clusters as described in the introductory section, the Editorsorganized the responses of the 2018 worldwide, open call for submissions. Taking the numberof submissions in each focus area as an indicator of research potential, the open call elicitedthe lowest response in the area of Systems of Integrated Computer and Physical Components(Cyber-Physical-Systems), which suggests underdevelopment of initiatives for scientificquestions in this area. We look forward to seeing greater response to this area in the future.
Ultimately, the success of this event and its contribution to the field of informatics andcomputing in civil and construction engineering is the result of countless hours ofinvestigation, development, and work from scholars across the globe. The Editors andorganizing committee thank all who have supported the effort. We thank in particular the paperreviewers.
The research and approaches that have been developed and presented at this conference canimmediately deliver extraordinary innovations to construction practices with benefitsattributable to individuals, organizations, and the industry, as a whole. Looking forward,the legacy of this conference will be carried not only through its influence on the constructionpractice but also on research for years to come.

About CIB and CIB W78
CIB, officially named International Council for Research and Innovation in BuildingConstruction, was established in 1953 under the name Conseil International du Bâtiment. Thefoundational objectives of CIB were to stimulate and facilitate the international cooperationand exchange of information between governmental research institutes in the building andconstruction sector, with an emphasis on those engaged in technical fields of research. Sinceits inception, the association has developed into a worldwide network that connects more than5000 experts. These specialists represent the research institutes, university, and industry- andgovernment-related entities that constitute the approximate 500-member organizations of CIB.Though the size and strength of the organization today has grown compared to the past, thefocus of CIB and its members remains the same: the active collection of research andinnovation information for all aspects of building and construction.
CIB W78, or work group 78, is one of the largest and most active working commissions ofCIB. The scope of W78’s work is broad, but its primary mission is to proactively encouragethe integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) into a facility’s lifecycle. It achieves this goal by disseminating research and knowledge among an internationalcommunity of scholars and practitioners in a variety of means, most notably the annualinternational conference.

Introduction
A Vision for Research and Innovation in Informatics and Computing inCivil and Construction Engineering
While we move into the first quarter of the twenty-first century, the practice of civil,construction, and building engineering embraces an incommensurable transformation in theway we deliver products, process data, and interact with agents and technology. Newparadigms focused on sustainable practices, and the effective use of data and information andcomputing technologies, and automation have framed the trends we see in research initiativesand fundamental problems in civil and construction engineering disciplines. The continuousexpansion of interdisciplinary work among computing, informatics, and construction and civilengineering merges perspectives to create integrated or hybrid methods of observing,dissecting and solving central problems and of integrating relevant theories. The 2018conference and this related publication is an effort to register diversity of thinking tounderstand a phenomenon, problem, dataset, or methods that enable value creation in practiceand expand the frontiers of new, integrated knowledge.
We view the worldwide, open call for research initiatives as a survey of innovations andnovel approaches to phenomena and problems in computing and informatics in civil andconstruction engineering. The compilation is organized under seven concept clusters to alignthe contributions to the forefront of trends on investment for scientific research. The selectionin clusters was decided to better capture new advancements of knowledge within the focusareas. The conceptualization and focus were based mainly on reflections from visionarydocuments [1–3]. The focus areas cover the spectrum of aims of scientific questions and thefundamental aspects that advance understanding or solve problems. Within each area,evolving technology may transform activities and subsequently shape research practices in thecoming decade (Fig. 1).

AbstractAvailable data about asset condition and performances can be conveyed into different Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).Many KPIs measuring technical, functional and economic/financial asset performances can be found in literature.Nevertheless, they are often strictly related to a specific scope, thus they provide an incomplete depiction of the wholeassets performances. The objective of this research is to provide facility managers and asset owners with an easyinstrument to prioritize maintenance. In order to reduce costs related to its use, the instrument, developed in the form of aDecision Support System (DSS), is based on existing and reliable performances metrics and leverages new technologieslike Building Information Modelling (BIM). Accordingly, the Facility Condition Index (FCI) is combined with theD index, a KPI related to the age of building components, developed by the authors. The joint use of the FCI and theD index, allows facility managers to make more conscious decisions. The proposed DSS helps in the definition of the bestmaintenance plan, providing a ranking of building components which require more urgent maintenance interventions.Although the DSS should be tested measuring its ability to preserve buildings and their performances on a long term, thefirst results are positive, as confirmed by the application to a case study on an office building in Italy. Moreover, theusability of the instrument has been appreciated by the users in a medium size Italian company.

44.1 Introduction
Management of building maintenance is one of the biggest challenges in Facility Management (FM) since in this sector,nowadays, most of the economic resources related to the construction industry are spent. Additionally, a more sustainablebuilt environment can be reached only by improving energy and environmental performances of physical assets optimizing,as instance, the maintenance choices [1].
Despite the huge amount of data produced and recorded by new technologies during the whole lifecycle of a building,facility managers make decisions on maintenance with limited knowledge concerning buildings condition [1]. Available data

about asset condition and performances can be conveyed into different Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) [2]. Nevertheless,KPIs are often strictly related to a specific field, thus they provide an incomplete picture of the whole assets performances.
The objective of this research is to provide facility managers and asset owners with an easy instrument to prioritizemaintenance, based on existing and reliable performance metrics and leveraging new technologies like Building InformationModelling (BIM). For this purpose, a Decision Support System (DSS) based on the Facility Condition Index (FCI) andservice life of building components has been developed. The DSS has been integrated within the Building InformationModelling (BIM) approach and a has been tested through a case study concerning an office building located in Erba, Italy.
44.2 Background of the Research
In this paragraph the background of the research is presented, stressing on the possibilities and advantages provided by theuse of an effective Decision Support System (DSS) for Operations Maintenance and Repair (OM&R) management.Moreover, potentialities and criticalities of the Facility Condition Index (FCI), one of the most acknowledged KPIs formaintenance management are presented.
44.2.1 Decision Support Systems for Management of Buildings
Decision Support Systems (DSS) are frequently used when dealing with the built environment [3, 4]. Their importance liesin the possibility of comparing multiple features, computed both through subjective and objective parameters and calculationmethods. DSS weaknesses generally include: the high influence of the weights used, the reliability of the parameterscalculated and their need for large amount of data to be gathered and elaborated in order to produce reliable results. Ingeneral, they should be used in the early project phases, although their precision is higher when more data are available(and less changes are possible).
DSS can be based on several data processing techniques though, usually, they are all based on Multi-Criteria AnalysisTechniques, which allow data normalization, elaboration, comparison and eventually, alternatives’ ranking and selection.
A robust method, frequently used in association with a DSS [5], is the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), which allowsfor parameters weights calculation. The method was first proposed by the mathematician Saaty in the 80s [6] and isfrequently and successfully coupled with the Delphi method, no matter the topic, in order to enhance the quality of theweights calculated and achieving more precise results [7].
Another issue to be faced in the development of a DSS concerns the connection with the data to be gathered, the less workneeds to be done, the faster will be the analysis, thus the connection with the BIM processes [8], can enhance a betterinformation flow.
44.2.2 Facility Condition Index
The Facility Condition Index (FCI) is a metric widely exploited for assessment of assets [3], thanks to its scalability from thesingle component to the whole real property [9, 10]. Therefore, it is a powerful tool which makes assets comparable inmeasures of maintenance performances. In its basic form it is used for evaluation of costs of deferred maintenance (DM),over the Current Replacement Value (CRV) of the component [11]. The FCI allows to quantify in a scale from 0 to 100(where 0 represents the best value) the condition of an asset based on the expense dedicated to maintenance operations [11].The assessment phase is a crucial issue for the calculation of the metric. Nevertheless, the calculation methodology can varyaccording to the objective to be achieved [12]. Moreover, a standardized definition of algorithms to be used cannot be foundin literature [13].
The FCI is affected by some other issues. For instance, the ratio calculated through the indicator does not represent themagnitude of the DM interventions, since the output value is mainly influenced by the CRV. For this reason, the FCIcalculated for two similar components characterized by similar deferred maintenance interventions (with analogous cost),could be affected by substantial differences according to the value of the CRV. Accordingly, the FCI should be employedalong with other indicators and coefficient, able to balance the effect of the CRV and to grasp the strategic importance of acomponent [14, 15].

44.3 Research Methodology
Building Information Modeling (BIM) can be considered the cornerstone of research in construction field in recent years [16,17] and it is widely acknowledged that asset owners will gain considerable advantages from a comprehensive AssetInformation Model (AIM) furthering the strategic framework for asset management [18]. The AIM, as defined in BSI PAS1192-3:2014 [19], is the foundation of the proposed research methodology that can be described by two main steps:
1. the transition from the physical asset to the digital asset, namely the AIM;2. the maintenance operations prioritization through the DSS, reading data from the AIM.
The first phase of the research (Fig. 44.1) consists in the creation of a template for the development of BIM models ofexisting buildings. The survey and the digitization of the building and its surroundings can be expensive issues [20], whichfrequently prevent the adoption of BIM processes for management of the built environment. Therefore, a BIM modelcharacterized by a low level of detail, which can be incrementally upgraded during operation, has been developed. Thischoice allowed to create a model with approximately one day of work, starting from as-built CAD drawings and carrying outa streamlined survey of the asset and its parts. The BIM template must be constantly updated, to automate some activitiesand to improve the quality of the output. The BIM model has been developed, using Autodesk Revit, connecting the buildingobjects to a specific phase of the management process, so to create a depiction of the asset status at a specific date. Themodel, intended as geometrical objects and information associated to them, can be considered the digital twin of the physicalasset and is used, in this case, for maintenance prioritization. This approach can ease the building maintenance operation,reaching higher levels of automation in maintenance management process [21].
The data contained in the BIM model are associated with data coming from an external source, namely the maintenancecosts database (DB). The maintenance cost DB is based on the Uniclass II standard [22]. This classification system has beenused to define the minimum level of breakdown of the building, that would allow an effective association with maintenanceinterventions and costs. Costs of maintenance interventions and components’ replacement values have been definedemploying the Milan’s Municipal pricelist [23]. From a methodological point of view, this allows to define a standard set ofbuilding components associated with maintenance interventions and cost, though a case-by-case analysis has to be carriedout when the methodology is implemented.
Once the standard maintenance cost DB is defined, the Building Condition Assessment (BCA) survey phase can start.Through the BCA campaign, deferred maintenance interventions as well as the related costs are identified. Survey results arestored in the BIM model created following the bespoke BIM template that allows an easy data extraction by the DSSDynamo script (phase 2).

Among the information stored, the one related to building components’ service life are of primary importance for theprioritization algorithm. Reference Service Life data are stored in the IFC2X4 property set named Pset_ServiceLife. Thisproperty set was introduced with the version 4 of the (Industry Foundation Classes) IFC standard [24] as a replacement ofIfcServiceLife and is applicable to every IfcElement. For the purpose of this research, two are the property of thePset_ServiceLife used: ServiceLifeType and ServiceLifeDuration. The first one describes the type of value stored in theServiceLifeDuration property, it allows for 5 types of IfcPropertyEnumeratedValue and the only one used in this research is“REFERENCESERVICELIFE”, i.e. the typical service life that is quoted for an artefact under reference operating conditions[25]. The ServiceLifeDuration property contains the IfcDurationMeasure, namely the length or duration of a service life[25]. The actual service life is not stored in the model since it is calculated by the Dynamo script from the InstallationDatevalue provided by Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) [26] information.
Once the data are available, it is possible to run the algorithm, obtaining two types of output: the list of prioritizedmaintenance operations and graphical representations, e.g. thematic plans and 3D views.
44.4 DSS Development
As stated in paragraph 44.2.2, FCI gives better results when combined with other KPIs for maintenance operationsprioritization. The developed DSS is based on a combination of two KPIs for each component, the FCI and the D index: ametric that measures the service life of the component. The D index is derived from D+ and D− indexes developed by Dejacoet al. [27]. Since only two parameters are used in the DSS, no weighting system has been used, therefore the AHP methodhas not been applied.
The D+ and D− indexes cannot be used in their original form because the authors used respectively two differentcalculation methodologies, according to the age of the components, compared to the Reference Service Life (RSL).Moreover, although the two indexes are limited between 0 and 1, they work exactly the opposite way the FCI works, namelyhigher values indicate a higher performance. Thus, the D index employed in the DSS is computed with the same parametersdefined by Dejaco et al. [27] but in a slight different way: starting from 0 when the component is newly installed, the D indexincreases when the component gets old (see Eq. 44.1).
D ¼aslrsl#
12 if asl$ rsl
12 # 1 þ
asl& rslasl
! "if asl[ rsl
#ð44:1Þ
where
• asl is the actual service life of the component, i.e. the time span from when the component has been installed or built,until now;
• rsl is the reference service life of the component [28].
Equation (44.1) shows how the D index is computed with two different equations according to the age of the component.When the actual service life of the component is lower than its reference service life, D ranges from 0 to 0.5 and is calculatedlikewise D+ by Dejaco et al. When component actual service life is bigger than the reference one, i.e. the component is tooold, D ranges from 0.5 to 1 and is computed similarly to D− by Dejaco et al. Noteworthy, in D index the value 1 is anasymptote, like it is 0 for D−. Figure 44.2 shows how the D index varies with the actual service life of a component that has areference service life of 25 years.
The proposed DSS contributes in easing informed decision-making through a graph where on the X axes is plotted theFCI of the component and on the Y axes the respective D index. This kind of graph allows to identify three areas delimitedby two ellipses (Fig. 44.3):
• the critical condition ellipse: is an ellipse with the major axis parallel to the Y axis and passing through two pointsC1(0.10, 0) and C2 (0, 0.50). Noteworthy, 0.10 is the FCI threshold for critical component (C1) and D = 0.50 means thatthe actual service life of the component is equal to its reference service life;
• the poor condition ellipse: is an ellipse with the major axis parallel to the Y axis and passing through two points P1(0.05,0) and P2 (0, 0.25). It may be highlighted that 0.05 is the FCI threshold for poor component (P1) and D = 0.25 means thatthe actual service life of the component is half of its reference service life.
374 F. Re Cecconi et al.
Other important information given by the DSS is the distance of each point (representing a component’s condition) fromthe critical or poor ellipse. The bigger the distance the greater the need of maintenance of the component. Components incritical or poor condition are classified in 5 severity classes (Fig. 44.5), according to the distance from the boundary ellipse,either critical or poor. Decision makers can then focus maintenance budget for components that actually need more urgentlymaintenance.
44.5 Application of the DSS
To validate the proposed approach, a demonstration on an office building near Como (Italy) was carried out. The asset, builtin 2006, is currently occupied by a construction company and a notary firm. It consists of one underground and three storiesabove ground (around 1000 m2 of gross surface per story). According to the proposed methodology, the BCA has beencarried out and the maintenance cost DB has been developed and adapted to the building under analysis. Figure 44.3 showsthe condition of each component analyzed, highlighting that there are objects that may need maintenance even if their FCI islower than 5%, since they are close to their reference service life (D = 50%) or even above. Among these latter, some partsof the mechanical system are very well maintained (FCI = 0%) but too old (D > 50%).
Structural components surveyed are characterized by a very good FCI (an average of 4.29%) and a very low D (around8%), since the building is quite new. Although, most of the components are in critical conditions, as can be seen in Fig. 44.4,and 30% of the analyzed elements are in poor condition. If the budget for maintenance is not enough to intervene on allcritical and poor components, the one on which resources should be spent can be identified by measuring the distance ofeach point from the boundary ellipse (Fig. 44.3).
To help decision makers, the distances from the boundary ellipse of critical and poor components have been classifiedaccording to five severity classes. Figure 44.5a shows that most of the critical components are in the first severity class (theless critical) and only one component among the critical ones is in the most severe condition (Severity 5). Figure 44.5bshows that most of the poor components are in the intermediate class of severity (Severity 3) and none is in the most severeone (Severity 5).
In Fig. 44.6 the BIM model of the case study is presented. Results computed through the DSS are stored in a customproperty set called “MaintPrior”. In Fig. 44.7 the property set filled with the values computed for the roof of the building isshown.

44.6 Discussion and Conclusions
Asset managers must often make decisions about maintenance and renewal alternatives based on sparse data concerning theactual assets’ condition [29] wasting, as a consequence, a huge amount of economic resources. Thus, a DSS easing theprioritization of maintenance operations has a great importance for asset owners. The proposed DSS, based on two KPIs,the FCI and the D index, classifies building components according to their need for maintenance interventions. The use ofthe D index helps in overcoming the limitations of the FCI. The proposed DSS has led to good results in the case study,although some drawbacks still have to be addressed. For instance, the method does not take into account the cultural orhistoric value of the asset, the asset owner’s peculiar requirements or necessities and the intended use of the building.Despite the limitations, the usability of the tools has been appreciated by the firms appointed for maintenance management of

The future research work will be focused on widening the scope ofthe DSS, through the integration of further KPIs according to specific clients’ needs and according to specific building types.Moreover, the DSS will be further integrated and automated within the BIM approach.
