As the importance of building maintenance is being emphasized, studies regarding the efficient building maintenance focus on the evaluation of the maintenance plan, implementation and its cost only while the evaluation of the maintenance performance is nearly ignored. At this point when the importance is placed on the performance design we need to have methods to improve maintenance performance of the buildings in Design Phase. The purpose of this study was to set the design evaluation items to improve the maintenance performance of the buildings. Through the review of the existing literature, we set the concept of the maintenance performance and suggested evaluation items to evaluate the maintenance performance through the analysis of domestic and overseas certification and design guidelines.
The study described in this paper is part of the "Research on the Repair/Rehabilitation of the Multi-Owned Buildings" that was funded through Ministry of Construction & Transportation in 2005. The writers would like to thank the members of research team on "Research on the Repair/Rehabilitation of the Multi-Owned Buildings" for their help and support throughout the course of this study.
