Sažetak
All buildings have a service life. In order to extend service life as much as possible while preserving the functionality of the building, maintenance measures must be implemented. Service life must be the longest of all life cycle phases from the economic perspective. Total costs of use and maintenance are the highest among all other phases’ costs and even more financially significant than the initial investment. However, another reason recently became equally crucial for being solicitous about maintenance – energy efficiency of buildings being one of the critical determinants of general sustainability. Because of these reasons, the purpose of this paper is to argue the importance of building maintenance planning and management and highlight the main steps of the process. Presented research combined qualitative scientific methods used to create a relevant theoretical framework, with a case study, present value calculation, and sensitivity analysis as methods used for the empirical part. Findings suggest that planning maintenance as early as in the design phase is the best management practice: service life can be prolonged and energy efficiency achieved while keeping total costs of use and maintenance within a controllable and acceptable range. Future research might compare results for different types of buildings since the specific limitation of this study is the focus of its empirical part only on the public purpose building. However, public buildings are, individually analyzed, one of the most critical areas for achieving the goals of European energy policy. Therefore, this paper is considered to accomplish academic and substantial social (in terms of sustainability) and practical (in terms of business and engineering professions) implications.
