碩士 === 國立雲林科技大學 === 營建工程系碩士班 === 94 === In the campus, there are numerous buildings of various functions and purposes, and each has its distinct maintenance costs. Because items of the construction and maintenance section are numerous and complex, different maintenance characteristics and requirements are often ignored when allocating maintenance resources, and problems of lacking maintenance funds and improper budget allocation occurs frequently with insufficient maintenance data. In particular, as the new system of campus service fund came into effect during the recent years, the budgets of national colleges were changed from full subvention to partial subvention with 20% self-provide fund. With the growing self-pride rate, maintenance budgets for campuss must be allocated more effectively. Therefore, this study takes the administrative and teaching buildings in National Yunlin University of Science and Technology as the object of research to find out the problems of construction, operation and maintenance of campus buildings. Through the approach of summarizing relating literatures, interviewing experts of the construction and maintenance section, and gathering data about the cost of maintenance, this study provides reference for the management units to plan maintenance strategy and estimate the amounts of budgets in advance. We performed a cost analysis on the campus’s maintenance data of year 2000 through 2005. In the aspect of controlling maintenance cost, the result of analysis shows that, for college and administration buildings, the cost management should be focused on major maintenance items such as “building alteration”, “teaching and administration equipments”, “electricity equipments”, “mechanical equipments”, “water supply and drainage equipments”, and “firefighting equipments”. To control and further lower the total maintenance cost of the buildings in the campus, key maintenance subitems that possess high proportion in the maintenance cost are taken into consider. In the subsystem analysis of elevator equipments, the models P10-CO60-3S, P13-CO60-3S and P15-CO60-5S have lower maintenance cost, while the models P15-CO90-10S, P15-CO90-11S, P11-CO60-4S, S2000-CO45-11S and S1500-2S45-5S have significantly higher costs in replacing consume materials and malfunction repairs other than routine maintenance items. The result of analysis also shows that different buildings have different characteristics of maintenance cost even with the same model of elevator equipment. Comparing the result of analyzing the tendency of the relation between the maintenance cost and the building age to the results of maintenance cost analysis from other schools, we conclude that the items “construction alternation”, “education and administration equipments”, and “mechanical equipments” have similar tendencies in cost distribution during the building age between 6 to 10 years, while the maintenance cost of water supply and drainage equipments show a not stable tendency. This study estimates a campus’s future need of maintenance funds five years in advance according to the per m2 maintenance cost over the past years in order to provide information to the management units for better allocation of maintenance resources. Furthermore, we have found other problems during the study such as low budgets of structural maintenance, lacking maintenance data conservation, high expenditure in administrative buildings but low expenditure in teaching buildings, and, finally, insufficient planning about the follow-up usage during the construction of campus buildings.
