English abstract:
Minimum investment costs and maximum flexibility and expandability of the construction and infrastructure are main goals of industrial facilities. Consuming large amounts of costs, energy and resources, industrial facilities play a major role in sustainable development. Stakeholders involved in industrial construction projects are faced with numerous and complex design decisions such as the choice of construction type, materials, production process, machine layout or building enclosure. Multi-criterial methods can support decision-making but require maximum integration of all stakeholders and a vast amount of data in order to come to applicable results. Most research and tools are either focusing on production system and machine layout optimization or on building optimization, holistic approaches are lacking. This paper is addressing the collection of data to develop a multi-criterial analysis (MCA) parameter catalogue for integrated industrial building design. Research data used for analysis is gathered within ten expert interviews, which were coded and evaluated, and literature review. The representation of the design space in the parameter catalogue is categorized in objective level, process level and technical parameter level. Results show that the major objective in industrial building projects is maximum flexibility. The load-bearing system has the biggest impact on facilities flexibility and should allow machine layout and productions process changes in order to extend the buildings lifespan. Interfaces, software and communication are identified as main keywords for successful design processes. In future work the proposed parameter catalogue needs to be validated and weighted through further expert interviews and the relationships of different parameters identified.
