Module 5 Now Live on RealVR: Understanding the Life Cycle of Buildings and Facilities

Updated: Oct 15, 2024


We are thrilled to announce the release of Module V: Life Cycle of Buildings and Facilities on the RealVR platform. This module provides an in-depth understanding of how the life cycle of a building—from conceptual design to removal—affects Facility Management (FM) practices. Funded by the Erasmus+ program (Project Number: 2021-1-BG01-KA220-VET-000034659), this module offers essential insights for professionals aiming to optimize building operations and maintenance throughout the entire life cycle.


What You’ll Learn in Module V


This module covers key aspects of managing a building’s life cycle, including:

  • The importance of understanding each phase of a building’s life cycle for effective FM

  • The role and significance of the technical passport in facility management

  • Strategies for managing maintenance and operating costs to extend the building’s useful life

  • Practical case studies demonstrating real-world applications of life cycle management

  • The integration of modern technologies like BIM and CAFM to improve facility performance and sustainability


Why This Module Matters


The life cycle of a building is a complex process involving design, construction, operation, and eventual reconstruction or removal. Proper Facility Management during each phase ensures that the building remains safe, functional, and cost-effective. Module V equips FM professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to manage these processes effectively, enhancing both operational efficiency and the longevity of the building.


Key Components of Building Life Cycle Management


  1. Understanding the Life Cycle Phases: From conceptual design to removal, each phase of a building’s life cycle plays a crucial role in its overall performance. This module helps learners understand how FM strategies should be applied during each phase to maximize efficiency, safety, and sustainability.

  2. The Technical Passport: A key element of building life cycle management, the technical passport contains all essential details about the building’s construction, maintenance history, and energy performance. Module V explains how to use this document for planning, regulatory compliance, and maintenance scheduling.

  3. Maintenance and Operating Costs: Managing maintenance expenditures is critical for extending a building’s useful life and ensuring operational efficiency. This module outlines strategies for reducing costs while maintaining high standards of safety and functionality.

  4. Real-World Case Studies: Learners will explore practical case studies that demonstrate successful facility management strategies, such as improving energy efficiency, optimizing space utilization, and implementing advanced technologies like Building Information Modeling (BIM).


Why Choose RealVR?


RealVR’s Module V: Life Cycle of Buildings and Facilities offers an immersive learning experience for FM professionals. Through interactive scenarios and expert insights, learners gain a deep understanding of how to manage a building’s life cycle from start to finish, ensuring that they can apply these strategies to their real-world operations.


Multilingual Access


As with previous modules, Module V is available in English, Bulgarian, Lithuanian, Greek, and Italian, making it accessible to a broad audience across Europe.
