Enhancing safety and comfort through mechanical component maintenance performance on green building using BIM-based information system

The reliability of functioning mechanical components has major implications not only for the ease of use, lowering maintenance cost, avoiding loss of time and preserving safety factor but also for achieving green buildings mission namely emission and energy reduction. Failure in maintenance phase of mechanical components can adversely affect the achievement of the mission. Problems that occur are fragmented data, undocumented data, slow responses of human resource, and unscheduled maintenance. As a result, the massive budget spent in the green building construction phase is in vain. The purpose of this study is to improve the performance of maintenance of government green buildings in mechanical components by developing an information system that integrated with Building Information System (BIM). The case study studied was the Ministry of Public Works and People’s Housing Republic of Indonesia. The research methods used are literature reviews, case studies, system development and statically analysis. This study uses a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) in managing data dynamically using BIM, which is integrated with web-based information systems. The result in this study explained that HVAC system, vertical transportation, BIM and information system has proofed that these variables could enhance the performance of mechanical components maintenance in green building which are safety, health and comfort.
