Modeling, Analysing and Simulation – Way to Good Operation Phase of Residential Stock

Abstract:

The period of the crisis characterized by the stagnation of economy sectors has an impact especially on building activities where a large part of them is housing construction. In the field of housing, this situation has an adverse effect not only on the level of further quantitative development, but especially in the form of the suspension of the basic reproduction of housing resources that is necessary for maintaining the state of housing. The housing property management and maintenance process currently undergo greater pressure caused by budgets of the portfolio owners. The challenge of this time is to turn partially away from looking for ways of advancing and financing new housing construction and to focus primarily on optimizing the management and maintenance of the existing house and flat resources in order to maximize capacity utilization, on looking for saving, new possibilities, technologies, and tools with emphasis on the flexibility and complexity of services, and on finding ways how to set about these services as efficiently as possible for the benefit of the owners and tenants under the condition of substantial cost reductions. One of these possible tools, which is not too much known yet and is still underused in the Czech environment but which has the great potential for benefits to optimizing and improving the effectiveness of management and maintenance in the future, is BIM (Building Information Modeling).
