“…Their studies identified the following major impacts of climate change on buildings: (1) flooding, (2) the swelling and shrinking of soil that may affect foundations, (3) wind actions causing dynamic structural loading by pressure forces, and (4) driving rain leading to weathering. Similarly, [8] further identified: (5) an increased overheating and air-conditioning load, (6) increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and (7) increased costs due to carbon or GHG charges, as significant impacts of climate change on buildings.…”

“…The first attempt to quantify sustainability and resilience was by Camilleri et al who proposed the Climate Change Sustainability Index Camilleri et al (2001). The method proposed by Camilleri et al is designed to both (i) rate the impact of climate change on a building, in order to identify the most vulnerable buildings, and (ii) to assess the impact of the building on the environment.…”

“…Climate resilience of buildings has received a significant interest Biesbroek (2010), Bosher et al (2007) Camilleri et al (2001 due to predictions that climate change will cause more extreme weather events Beniston et al (2007). Climate adaptation and resilience are no longer just political issues but are also emerging topics in facilities management (FM) research (e.g Warren (2010) and Jones (2014).…”

“…Resilience is increasingly used in the context of climate change and climate adaptation of the built environment. Most studies of resilience to climate change have been undertaken by (i) mapping threats such as the increased possibility of flooding, sea level rise or heat-waves Beniston et al (2007), Biesbroek (2010), Bosher et al (2007), de Wilde et al (2011), Snow et al (2011), Jones (2014, (ii) investigating the vulnerability of a system to these threats Guan (2012), Camilleri et al (2001), Jentsch et al (2008), and (iii) investigating how to adapt Lomas (2009). Section 2.2 then briefly outlines how a risk framework Faber (2012) can we used to economically quantify resilience.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to consider how to couple and quantify resilience and sustainability, where sustainability refers to not only environmental impact, but also economic and social impacts. The way a particular function of a building is provisioned may have significant repercussions beyond just resilience. The goal is to develop a decision support tool for facilities managers. Design/methodology/approach – A risk framework is used to quantify both resilience and sustainability in monetary terms. The risk framework allows to couple resilience and sustainability, so that the provisioning of a particular building can be investigated with consideration of functional, environmental, economic and, possibly, social dimensions. Findings – The method of coupling and quantifying resilience and sustainability (CQRS) is illustrated with a simple example that highlights how very different conclusions can be drawn when considering only resilience or resilience and sustainability. Research limitations/implications – The paper is based on a hypothetical example. The example also illustrates the difficulty in deriving the costs and probabilities associated with particular indicators. Practical implications – The method is generic, allowing the method to be customized for different user communities. Further research is needed to translate this theoretical framework to a practical tool for practitioners and to evaluate the CQRS method in practice. Originality/value – The intention of this research is to fill the gap between the need for increasing sustainability and resilience of the built environment and the current practices in property maintenance and operation.

Analytical Hierarchy Process for Developing a Building Performance-Risk Rating Tool

Abstract. The need to optimize the performance of buildings has increased consequently due to the expansive supply of facilities in higher education building (HEB). Proper performance assessment as a proactive measure may help university building in achieving performance optimization. However, the current maintenance programs or performance evaluation in the HEB is a systemic and cyclic process where maintenance is considered as an operational issue and not as opposed to a strategic issue. Hence, this paper proposed a Building Performance Risk Rating Tool (BPRT) as an improved measure for building performance evaluation by addressing the users' risk in health and safety aspects. The BPRT is developed from the result of a rating index using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. 12 facilities management (FM) experts and practitioners were involved in the rating process. The subjective weightings are analysed using the AHP computer software, the Expert Choice 11. The establishment of the BPRT was introduced as an aid of improvement towards the current performance assessment of HEB by emerging the concept of building performance and risk into a numerical strategic approach
