Application of the Dashboard for Risk Management: The Case Study of Two Buildings of Worship

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to test on real world case studies the set of tools and methods to create a dashboard that has been proposed in the previous chapters. Tests were run on two buildings of worship. To this purpose a degree of importance was assigned to a set of requirements, both user and technological, that represent the needs of the Italian Council of Bishops (CEI) with reference to the phase of use of churches. Then a degree of importance was estimated for all requirements by using spreadsheets and Monte Carlo simulations. Results show that the two churches generally have a low level of risk related to the use and maintenance, but that some particular elements, such as windows and roofs, can bring serious problems over time, with reference to the requirements of “control of roughness” of “control of ventilations”. Main results are presented and commented upon.
