Abstract

There are about 600 million accommodation units in the world. The maintenance of the accommodation is essentially similar in every country. Research work in accommodation maintenance has been minimal so far. This study deals with some fundamental models of building maintenance. The paper gives the most important development projects in the following groups: maintenance group, maintenance area, city, and state. Special attention is concentrated on the strategic and normative planning of area maintenance system in a city connected with other related urban operations. The running costs of housing accommodation by the methods mentioned in the paper can be reduced by about 30%.
