Misztal, G (2004) Refurbishment urgency indicators of residential buildings. In: Khosrowshahi, F (ed.) Proceedings of 20th Annual ARCOM Conference, 1-3 September 2004, Edinburgh, UK.
Abstract
Methodology and criteria , which help to estimate the urgency of intervention taking into account the degradation and natural obscolence processes of building materials and elements in housing sector, has been proposed in the paper. The evaluation of refurbishment urgency is divided into two levels: Level one - urgency of intervention priority at the level of the building element - building element treated as part of structure or installation (for example elements described in Epiqr method) Level two - urgency of intervention at the level of the macroelement (set of building's elements, group of Epiqr elements) and at the level of the building. As the result of deterioration urgency for building the numerical value of UIB (urgency indicator for building) is estimated. The value of UIB is between 0 and 1. The lower value of the UIB means that the building is more deteriorated and needs more urgent renovation.

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
