This book introduces a Maintainability Index of Heritage Buildings (MIHB) to support the decision-making and prioritisation process for the maintenance of heritage buildings. Using two real cases from Egypt, a country which comprises a vast number of unique heritage structures, each of which is deteriorating at its own pace, the book presents a systematic, data-based approach to manage aging and deteriorating heritage assets in a cost-effective way. The authors initially provide an overview and history of conservation and maintenance work as well as the current codes and standards that regulate the preservation of these buildings. Further chapters then cover: the technology used to digitally document heritage buildings, including LIDAR, photogrammetry, Heritage Building Information Modelling (HBIM), and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies The adaptive reuse of heritage buildings Modelling embodied and operational energy performance Ultimately, the book presents a useful tool for use in heritage management and highlights how the reusability of heritage buildings is critical to the creation and survival of sustainable communities. It will be useful reading for researchers, architects, engineers and especially those involved in the management of heritage buildings.
