    Planning the maintenance of green building materials for sustainable development: a building information modelling approach
    (Emerald Publishing, 2020)
    Purpose: Most green building (GB) materials, which are used widely in the construction sector in Malaysia, perform poorly in terms of energy efficiency and sustainability. Nevertheless, during maintenance planning of these materials, the focus is often directed towards comfort and design instead. However, as GB material construction projects grow in scale and complexity, interconnections between the activities and processes can be noticed during problematic planning performance management to monitor the GB material components for corrective and preventive maintenance actions. Design/methodology/approach: The concept of GB material maintenance planning for sustainable development and the main features of information and communication technology tools and techniques are based on analysis of literature reviews of GB material scenarios. Findings: The results show how decision-making support in maintenance planning can be unsuccessful and how planning decisions can frame the content of an integrated system to analyse information and reduce risks of GB material failure. Originality/value: The paper concludes that implementing a research framework for developing such a system can help improve the sustainable performance of maintenance planning of GB material economic, social and environmental issues.

    A BIM-based model checking in the green building maintenance: a review
    (Emerald Publishing, 2023)
    Purpose: This paper aims to identify the different system approach using building information modelling (BIM) technology that is equipped with automated evaluation processes. BIM research has mainly focused on theoretical models of acceptance in the green building (GB) maintenance industry. However, BIM has the potential to the competency’s performance and design knowledge of building control instrument. Realising this potential requires a study of BIM at the maintenance planning level, which is considered to be BIM-based model checking (BMC). BMC and its effect in the maintenance planning have not been sufficiently investigated. Design/methodology/approach: The aim of this paper is to present a critical review of literature on the theoretical background of BMC practices and the main features of information and communication technology tools and techniques in the GB maintenance projects. Findings: A theoretical framework of BMC is developed and presented. The proposed model incorporates requirement for maintaining a competency’s performance on maintenance planning schemes of GB projects and the importance of early integration of BMC in the design phase to identify alternative methods to cogenerate, monitor and optimise BMC. Originality/value: It is found that variables facilitating BMC are integrated at different GB maintenance environments levels and are shaped by the context. Directions for future research are presented.
