Stakeholders should be conscious of the existing tools and knowledge for the optimization of maintenance and rehabilitation actions in consideration of the degradation mechanisms and the risk of failure over time. Knowledge concerning the service life prediction of building elements is crucial to the definition, in a rational and technically informed way, of a set of maintenance strategies over the building's life cycle. Service life prediction methodologies provide a better understanding of the degradation phenomenon of the analyzed elements, enabling the relation of the characteristics of these elements and their exposure, use, and maintenance conditions with their performance over time. This SI intends to provide an overview of the existing knowledge related to various aspects of "Life Cycle Prediction and Maintenance of Buildings". Relevant topics to this Special Issue include: Methodologies for service life prediction of buildings and components; Maintainability of buildings and components; Serviceability of building elements; Maintenance and repair actions of buildings and components; Definition and optimization of maintenance policies; Financial analysis of various maintenance plans; Whole life cycle costing; Life cycle assessment. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $aAsset Management 610 $abuilding 610 $abuilding components 610 $abuilding elements 610 $abuilding renovation 610 $abuildings 610 $achanging operational environment 610 $aclimate adaptation 610 $aclimate change 610 $aclimate targets 610 $aconservation 610 $aconstruction material 610 $aDecision Support System 610 $adegradation 610 $adegree of wear 610 $aDigitization 610 $adurability 610 $aenergy efficiency 610 $aenergy price 610 $aenergy supply system 610 $aexisting structures 610 $aFacility Condition Index 610 $aFacility Management 610 $aGaussian mixture models 610 $ahealthcare infrastructures 610 $aindoor climate quality 610 $ainspection 610 $aInsurance 610 $ainsurance premium 610 $ainternal rate of return 610 $aKey Performance Indicators 610 $aKPIs 610 $alife cycle 610 $aLife Cycle Assessment uncertainties 610 $alife cycle costs 610 $alife cycle economy 610 $alinoleum and vinyl floorings 610 $along-term weathered 610 $amaintainability 610 $amaintenance 610 $amanagement 610 $amathematical models 610 $amunicipal building procurement 610 $an/a 610 $anatural stone 610 $anatural stone claddings 610 $aoperation 610 $aOperations Maintenance & 610 $apathology 610 $apayback period 610 $aperformance characteristics 610 $apreventive maintenance 610 $areinforced concrete 610 $aRepairs 610 $aretrofit 610 $arisk assessment 610 $asecondary databases 610 $aseismic hazard 610 $aservice life 610 $aservice life prediction 610 $aservice life prediction models 610 $asingle-family house 610 $asingle-sided NMR 610 $astatistical survey 610 $asteel corrosion 610 $astrength degradation 610 $aSwedish climate zones 610 $atechnical condition 610 $athermal insulation system 610 $atime-dependent reliability 610 $awater repellents 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $ade Brito$b Jorge$4edt$0891335 702 $aSilva$b Ana$4edt 702 $ade Brito$b Jorge$4oth 702 $aSilva$b Ana$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557595003321 996 $aLife Cycle Prediction and Maintenance of Buildings$93027090 997 $aUNINA
