Informações de manutenção para atendimento à NBR 15575 – Desempenho de edificações

Abstract

In 2013, the Brazilian Performance Standard – NBR 15575: 2013 came into force, but even after 6 years of its publication, the code is still not fulfilled. Studies indicate the greatest impact of the Performance Standard is related to the need for new design information in addition to improving the quality of information to be passed on to the user. Thus, the objective of this work is to propose a tool in the form of a checklist, to assist the maintenance managers of residential buildings in verifying the necessary information in the planning and execution of maintenance actions, in order to meet the requirements, present in the Performance Standard – NBR 15575. The development of the tool was divided into the stages of problem identification, search for concepts, knowledge and context, proposal for a solution, validation and conclusion of the proposal. The stage of understanding and contextualizing the theme was carried out through two systematic literature reviews, the first involving NBR 15575 and the second involving information and maintenance management. The proposal for the information present in the checklist was based on the needs of NBR 15575: 2013, NBR 5674: 2012 and NBR 14037: 2011 and on the concepts identified in the literature. The tool was validated by professionals working in construction and maintenance companies, through an online questionnaire. Most of the information present in the checklist was considered important for the definition and planning of maintenance actions. All professionals believe that the creation of the checklist would help to verify the information necessary for planning and carrying out maintenance activities. And from the comments, doubts and suggestions the checklist was restructured. The result is a table of items to be considered, in order to facilitate the planning of maintenance actions, taking into account the compliance with NBR 15575. A checklist is intended to help the user to remember all the items in a task or process he needs to complete. Therefore, it is expected that this work will contribute to disseminate relevant knowledge in the area, to facilitate compliance with Brazilian standards, and to improve the assertiveness of maintenance actions.
