Abstract

Building maintenance is closely related to the performance and sustainability of buildings. However, existing approaches to maintenance are limited in terms of estimating required repairs. Therefore, this study proposes a case-based reasoning (CBR)-based model for estimating the time when the first repair will be needed after the completion of construction, even in phases where maintenance-related information is scarce. CBR and fuzzy-analytic hierarchy process (AHP) were employed as research methodologies. A database was established by collecting 257 cases related to maintenance of apartment buildings, and attributes were extracted through literature reviews and expert interviews. Then, attributes were weighted by fuzzy-AHP and case similarities were computed by measuring the Euclidean distance. Similar cases were retrieved based on similarity scores. The model was validated via a comparison of 20 randomly selected test cases with the output of retrieved cases. The results showed that the average case similarities of 3-, 5-, 7-, and 10-nearest neighbors (NN) were 98.05%, 97.86%, 97.73%, and 97.59%, respectively, and mean absolute percentage errors for 3-, 5-, 7-, and 10-NN were mostly lower than 20%, confirming the applicability of the proposed model. The proposed method will help in the preliminary estimation of the repair time of building components.
