The built environment significantly contributes to global energy consumption and carbon emissions. Sustainable maintenance management strategies have emerged as a crucial approach to extending building lifespans while minimizing environmental impact. However, the relationship between these strategies and building longevity remains underexplored in the literature. This scoping review aims to synthesize and analyze the current body of knowledge on sustainable maintenance management strategies and their influence on building lifespans. The study seeks to identify key strategies, evaluate their effectiveness, and explore the challenges and opportunities in their implementation. A comprehensive search strategy was employed across multiple databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore, to identify relevant peer-reviewed articles published between 2010 and 2024. The PRISMA-ScR guidelines were followed for the review process. Data were extracted using a standardized form and synthesized using a narrative approach. A total of 127 studies met the inclusion criteria and were systematically reviewed. The findings reveal four primary categories of sustainable maintenance strategies: preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance, condition-based maintenance, and reliability-centered maintenance. These strategies were found to significantly impact building lifespan through extended structural integrity, improved energy efficiency, and enhanced indoor environmental quality. The integration of technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence has shown promise in optimizing maintenance processes. Economic analyses demonstrate the long-term cost-effectiveness of sustainable strategies, despite higher initial investments. However, challenges in implementation, including lack of expertise, initial cost barriers, and organizational resistance, were identified. The study highlights the need for more empirical research on long-term outcomes and the integration of emerging technologies in sustainable building maintenance.
