Facility Management of Residential Buildings in Barents Region

Programme 2014 - 2020 Kolarctic ENI CBC

Date of latest update: 2024-05-11

Description

Description (EN):

Nordic countries and the Russian north are located in the arctic and subarctic areas and have similar climatic conditions, where temperature difference between winter and summer conditions can exceed 70°C. Buildings in these areas are affected by climate in the same manner. Low temperatures, snowy and icy weather, strong winds have impact on how we build, operate and live in our buildings. Existing building methodologies are often based on traditional solutions that have proven their efficiency, and sharing this competence between the countries can give valuable insight and new ideas to products, materials and methods that are more sustainable. The essence of the FAMARB project is to bring effective operation and management of residential buildings into focus by adapting various concepts of energy efficiency and energy saving through upgrading or renovation that will improve maintenance of buildings and decrease emissions to the environment.

Achievements (EN):

The partners in the project have increased their knowledge and can further utilize the results. One of the main outputs was a FM-booklet accessible from the project website. It is unlikely that the results can be implemented on a large scale without some sort of continuation of the project, i.e., a second phase. Because of this, and the reasons mentioned below, the goal of achieving long term impact and sustainability has not been met. Some recommendations as well as preliminary results from the case study (partly refurbished dormitory in Arkhangelsk, Russia) have been presented to a wider audience at venues such as symposiums and conferences. Due to the pandemic, these have been held online for a much smaller crowd of people than was intended. As such, effective operation and management of buildings in the Barents region has not been demonstrated to a large audience, as was originally planned. To some extent, results from the case study have benefitted the project. Still, as the Russian partner is isolated because of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, it is only they that can capitalize on these work activities in the foreseeable future. The website will remain active for some time after project completion. It will not be maintained and will mostly serve as a reference (c.f. the FM-booklet) for the public, as a general information page, and a historical record of project activities. Neither will the Facebook page about the project be maintained. Despite the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, working together in the project has strengthened the multilateral cooperation and understanding between the four project partners. The trip outside the region (Dresden) spawned ideas for further project collaboration, some of which have been followed up in meetings between the Nordic partners.

Expected Results (EN):

FAMARB will bring effective operation and management of buildings of the Barents region into action, by adapting concepts of energy efficiency and energy saving through upgrading or renovation. The project aims to contribute to improving long term energy performance of buildings, hence decrease emissions to the environment, and improving indoor living conditions by ensuring buildings are efficiently managed, operated and maintained during longer time span (facility management). The project will subsequently contribute to create opportunities for cross border business and cooperation for enterprises

Expected Outputs (EN):

Documentation on the conditions for renovation in the different countries in the Barents region; Tools and methods for sustainable operation and maintenance, including organization models, contract forms, and tools for facility management, BIM, energy performance contracting and economic analyses; Recommendations based on practical case assessment, including management, operation, maintenance and development of construction works, electronic system for document handling/storage, registration and classification of documents for specific case object(s). Implementation of results into learning tools, courses and ensure dissemination and visibility of results.
