Blockchain and DAO Framework for Community-Based Facility Management
A new framework combining blockchain technology and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) aims to transform facility management in smart buildings by shifting from centralized to community-based decision-making. The proposed system includes a decentralized governance platform for transparent voting and a maintenance platform that rewards occupants with tokens for upkeep contributions. Evaluation methods encompass cost analysis, scalability, data security, usability testing, and interviews with facility managers and researchers. The framework addresses the limitations of traditional centralized facility management, which often fails to align with occupant needs and reduces satisfaction.
