However, the integration of the life cycle assessment (LCA) approach in FM presents some difficulties in obtaining complete inventories for building components, tracking material flows and defining system boundaries. This paper aims to establish the environmental impact comparison between maintenance actions and replacement interventions performed during the life cycle of a steel frame from a building facade.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>For this purpose, the effects of different repair\/maintenance actions and end-of-life scenarios were analysed using two tools: an LCA building information modelling-based tool and an LCA open-source tool.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The results showed that repairing and maintaining the steel structure is essential for the safety and preservation of the steel structure. However, steel maintenance and repair practices that involve fewer environmental impacts need to be explored.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Social implications<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>It also emphasises the crucial role of facility managers in promoting sustainability and supporting informed decision-making throughout the building\u2019s life cycle, thereby aiding in the pursuit of sustainable development and the goal of decarbonisation by 2050.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This study reveals that maintenance processes in building management have a greater environmental impact compared to material replacement activities, especially concerning the steel structure within the case study building, as assessed using two LCA software tools. The findings provide valuable insights into the environmental impacts of maintenance and replacement phases and underscore the need for further investigation into more sustainable maintenance practices within facility management. Additionally, the study raises public awareness and engagement in environmental responsibility, contributing positively to the achievement of a sustainable built environment.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/f-02-2024-0018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,4]],"date-time":"2024-12-04T23:01:21Z","timestamp":1733353281000},"page":"81-94","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Life cycle assessment applied to facility management of exposed steel frames \u2013 case study"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Raquel","family":"Matos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Hugo","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"An\u00edbal Guimar\u00e3es","family":"Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Maria Fernanda","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Sarel","family":"Lavy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Manish","family":"Dixit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,6]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"key2025010203022053800_ref001","first-page":"185","article-title":"Maintenance management practices in public hospital built environment: Nigeria case study","volume":"14","year":"2012","journal-title":"Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa"},{"key":"key2025010203022053800_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"102073","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scs.2020.102073","article-title":"A review of sustainable facility management research","volume":"55","year":"2020","journal-title":"Sustainable Cities and Society"},{"key":"key2025010203022053800_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"106315","DOI":"10.1016\/j.buildenv.2019.106315","article-title":"Green maintainability performance indicators for highly sustainable and maintainable buildings","volume":"163","year":"2019","journal-title":"Building and Environment"},{"key":"key2025010203022053800_ref004","unstructured":"Aljundi, K.
