The Maintainability section looks at the design for maintainability (DfM) and the use of smart Facilities Management Technologies to ensure resource-efficient maintenance regimes in buildings; hence facilitating many of the sustainable outcomes desired within the built environment.
The GM 2021 Maintainability section (Mt) – through the New Building and Existing Building frameworks – presents a set of criteria for the basis of demonstrating maintainability performance. The frameworks are broken down into key sections, including Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical, Landscape and Smart FM. The Maintainability points scored therein are translated into the Green Mark points, as shown in the table within this section.
