Building Facade Maintenance

The article is devoted to the problem of providing access to building facades in order to maintain their operational characteristics. Purpose : The purpose of the study is to identify general principles of building facade maintenance that contribute to typification and unification of solutions, and develop practical recommendations for their application. Methodology : Research methods include the analysis of Russian and foreign experience in operating facade maintenance systems, comparative analysis of various maintenance methods (taking into account their features, advantages and disadvantages), and determining criteria for selecting building maintenance systems with different architectural and design solutions. Research findings : Maintenance methods are proposed, the criteria influencing the choice of a system are determined: building height, facade geometry, works and technical feasibility of implementation. Practical implications : The developed recommendations allow for a reasonable choice of facade maintenance at the conceptual design stage.
