Design for Maintainability in Tropical Buildings by Michael Matshona is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study develops a design-for-maintainability (DfM) assessment system aimed at predicting the maintainability impacts of building design alternatives in tropical climates. Utilizing a mixed-method approach, the research analyzes 1372 DfM benchmarks from various standards and employs Bayesian Belief Networks (BBN) to model the relationships between design decisions and building defects. The resulting tool serves as a decision-making aid, enhancing the maintainability of building systems and reducing opera
