To improve buildings and their characteristics, the feedback provided directly by users is generally fundamental in order to be able to adapt the technical and structural functions to the well-being of users. The post-occupancy evaluation (POE) fits perfectly into this context. The POE, through qualitative and quantitative information on the interior environment, makes it possible to identify the differences between the performances modeled in the design phase and the real performances experienced by the occupants. This review of 234 articles, published between 2006 and 2022, aims to analyze and compare the recent literature on the application of the POE methodology. The aim was to provide both a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the main factors that comprise the indoor environmental quality (IEQ). The study highlighted the factors that comprise the quality of the indoor environment, as well as the variables that are usually analyzed to describe the well-being of the occupants. The results suggested which are the most common approaches in carrying out POE studies and will identify the factors that most influence the determination of the good quality of an indoor environment.

“…Alavi et al [59] looked at how risk assessment models can improve the visualisation of occupants' feedback and support decision diagnosis for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Antonin et al [173] showed how the visual monitoring of building occupancy through image recognition sensors can improve planned cost savings in FM by 40%.…”

“…Antonin et al [173] showed how the visual monitoring of building occupancy through image recognition sensors can improve planned cost savings in FM by 40%. However, neither Alavi et al [59], Valinejadshoubi [172] nor Antonino et al [173] considered the clear benefits and relationships of the proposed methods on the building's O&M phase. Recently, Ergen et al [61] formalized a strategy to integrate occupants' feed-back with BIM for FM in office buildings via semantic data models.…”

Although a considerable amount of research has addressed the use of building information modelling (BIM) in facilities management (FM) within the past years, there is limited systematic review on investigating the potentials of BIM within the operation and maintenance (O&M) life cycle phase. Yet, this phase could account for approximately 60% of the total life cycle costs of assets. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a systematic literature review on the application of BIM in the O&M phase to identify current research trends, research gaps and future directions. This study achieves the aforementioned purpose by adopting the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis protocols (PRISMA-P). It employs qualitative and quantitative techniques to analyse the articles from a combination of three multi-disciplinary research databases, namely—Scopus, Web of Science and Engineering Village, which also comprises Compendex, InSpec, GeoRef and GeoBase sub-databases. After an in-depth review of 196 selected journal articles, this study systemically presents: (1) bibliometric analyses of the literature in BIM and O&M; (2) research patterns and trends; (3) drivers and barriers to BIM–O&M integration; and (4) research gaps mapped into a standard project management lifecycle to guide future research directions. The content analysis reveals that BIM has mainly been integrated under seven functions: information management (IM), advanced technology (AT), maintenance and asset management (MAM), indoor management (IM), performance assessment (PA), visualisation (V), and lean management (LM). Findings of the study reveal that the UK, USA and China are the top ranked countries with regards to research outputs on BIM–O&M integrations. The majority of BIM integrations within O&M falls under the information management function, whereas the least research output was recorded under lean management. In addition, the majority of studies focused on institutional and infrastructure facility types, but residential, industrial and commercial buildings were underrepresented, despite their disproportionate physical dominance within most societies. Findings also show that potential drivers and barriers for BIM integrations within O&M can be classified into three main categories—technical, organisational, and legal/contractual. It is then concluded that the application of BIM within O&M is still emerging, which further emphasises the need for more studies that address value realization in the context of BIM in O&M, with particular focus on the specific O&M principles for different building types.

“…Researchers have focused on implementing BIM for different aspects of FM, especially for FMM (Arayici 2008;Singh, Gu, and Wang 2011). However, the BIM visualization potential for improving maintenance activities was not considered in their studies (Alavi et al 2021). In order to improve the effectiveness of BIM applications, some studies have shown that incorporation of the augmented reality (AR) technology would be beneficial for improving the usability and accessibility of BIM information (Chen, Lai, and Lin 2020).…”

More than 65% of the total cost in buildings comes from Facility Maintenance Management (FFM). Despite that, facility managers have still relied on the traditional method. Building Information Modeling (BIM) based on Augment Reality (AR) can enhance the activity of FFM. In this study, a framework was developed for end-users and facility managers where end-users report maintenance requests, while facility management (FM) department are responsible to manage them. This will help FM team to optimize building maintenance strategies and decision-making and finally reduce the costs associated with the maintenance activities in the buildings.
