Abstract
This paper discusses the need for information exchange on service life issues among the research, standards, and practitioner communities. It outlines the most significant research contributions in the area of service life prediction and durability research and describes existing guides and standards in the field. The paper also identifies the immediate need for a proactive approach to maintenance management and capital renewal. Opportunities that are available to assist asset managers are outlined, inlcuding process re-engineering techniques and information technology tools. Techniques such as capital renewal/deferred maintenance planning, engineered management systems, level of investment studies, and condition assessment surveys are described, as are tools such as computerized maintenance management systems, CD-ROM, the Internet, computer aided facilities management, and mobile computing. jThe Buiding Envelope Life Cycle Asset Management (BELCAM) project is a research project employing these techniques and tools. The BELCAM project also incorporates the following enabling technologies: maintenance management, life cycle economics, service life prediction, user requirement modeling, risk analysis, and product modeling. The project focuses on roofing, more specifically on low slope roofign systems.
