Fuzzy buildings

The fuzzy buildings service life (FBSL) expert system is a software application that contributes to the preventive conservation of architectural heritage. It establishes the process of evaluation and analysis of the vulnerability and main risks of heritage buildings, managing the durability and service life according to their functionality. This work demonstrates, after a detailed study and analysis of the two main reference standards in the field of risk management, such as the international standard ISO 31000:2009 and the European standard EN 31010:2011, that the FBSL expert system has been developed complying with the specifications established in these standards.This research justifies the use of this method, based on a new expert system that predicts the future useful life of homogeneous heritage buildings around the world. This model manages the risk affecting these buildings and also complies with the aforementioned standards. Finally, the practical application of the FBSLexpert prediction system was carried out through the study of a specific architectural heritage site.
