The book presents a comprehensive methodology for identifying intervention needs on existing healthcare buildings and estimating the associated costs, facilitating sustainable financial planning for modernization, regulatory adjustment, and performance upgrade. By meticulously analyzing specific parameters, characterizing the building in terms of layout typology, technical features, and services provision, it proposes a framework for gathering pertinent information in compliance with current regulations and standards. Integrated evaluation tools are developed to conduct a thorough technical assessment of the investigated building, based on a survey of its key characteristics and the codification of standard actions. Subsequently, an appraisal procedure evaluates the intervention cost by comparing the object of analysis with a set of interventions already performed on healthcare assets. This invaluable resource is particularly useful for technical professionals, public administrations, and healthcare managers involved in the maintenance and performance assessment of healthcare facilities.
