Chew, M Y L and De Silva, N (2004) Factorial method for performance assessment of building facades. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 130(4), pp. 525-533. ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
A methodology for assessing the performance of building facades based on the risk of defect occurrence was developed. The methodology relies on the accurate prediction of (1) the frequency of the occurrence of various types of defects over time based on historical data (30 years); and (2) the significance of the occurrence of various types of defects to the specific performances anticipated by the users. The proposed methodology can be used for the evaluation of the maintainability and whole life performance of a building right from the planning stage.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
