The strength of BIM has been undervalued on the eyes of many professionals as to think of BIM as just another ‘software’ which is in reality, a ‘process’ of attaining an outstanding collaboration among every stakeholder throughout a project's life cycle. Thus, the purpose of this study is to develop a foreseeable information flow model related to the Construction Supply Chain (CSC) of a BIM aided project. This study administered a qualitative approach. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 10 experts, due to the lack of expertize with actual implementation experiences in the subject matter. The data were analysed using manual content analysis. The outcomes revealed that BIM standards have laid down charismatic arrangements on information flows among BIM project stakeholders, which is, in reality, a complex and random setup. The research outcome has successfully answered the complications in complex information setup of a BIM project by laying down guidance for any outsider to the BIM field as to recognize on what would be the contribution of each stakeholder throughout its BIM project's life cycle.","PeriodicalId":45828,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Buildings International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2020-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17508975.2020.1848783","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45217377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper employs the Delphi method to identify the major issues concerning IoT adoption in India and examines these across the value chain, specific to energy and comfort management in intelligent buildings. The Delphi exercise involved 3 expert-panels, consisting of a total of 24 subject matter experts representing all important stakeholders across the intelligent building value chain. A total of 140 issues have been identified, grouped across 8 themes, and ranked, leading to the development of an ‘IoT adoption index’. A subset of the issues has been identified using two inputs from the literature, viz., key performance indicators of intelligent buildings and the business model canvas. The results can be practically used by the stakeholders while evaluating IoT systems for deployment in their projects. Further, the results should be useful in the context of intelligent buildings also in other emerging economies having similar climatic conditions.","PeriodicalId":45828,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Buildings International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2020-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17508975.2020.1838253","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44641008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While building design-related research have addressed the technical and design aspects of responsive facades, very limited historical studies have been conducted on the evolution of such systems. This paper investigates and classifies in a chronological manner the historical factors involved in the evolution of design and development of responsive facade systems. The influential factors are classified into a set of sociocultural, technological, political, environmental and economic factors originating from revolutionary changes in art, technology and building construction since late nineteenth century. The historical timeline presented is intended to serve as a helpful resource for researchers and educators in research and teaching activities. The formulated timeline can be utilized to track the pattern of current developments and predict what might be expected in the future. While the focus of the paper is on individual architecture, the trend of the recent facade developments as presented in the timeline suggests that responsive facades will be possibly implemented for urban-scaled development of smart neighborhoods and/or cities in the future.","PeriodicalId":45828,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Buildings International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17508975.2018.1562414","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45316096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building operation requires more energy in the spaces of high occupancy density in public buildings in summer because most energy has been consumed to make the indoor environment comfortable. Therefore, there is a conflicting issue for optimization, which is minimum energy consumption vs. maximum indoor comfort. In this paper, the indoor comfort model was established based on the weights of the thermal environment and air quality. The indoor air temperature, indoor relative humidity and indoor CO2 concentration as KPI (Key performance indicators) are optimized dynamically according to different outdoor meteorological parameters and different indoor occupancy density by an improved multi-objective optimization method of Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II). A single suitable solution from the non-inferior solutions is selected by the method of fuzzy comprehensive decision. The single solution of those KPI can be used as the set point of air-conditioning controller. A case study was carried out and the corresponding simulation of optimization of energy and comfort was presented. The results showed that the methodology can achieve the maintenance of indoor comfort and energy consumption reduction.","PeriodicalId":45828,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Buildings International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17508975.2019.1567456","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46879005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multi-story buildings are part of a relatively specialized field of design and construction projects. They deal not only with a building's design and creation but also with its ongoing operation and maintenance. Because a large portion of the money and time expended by both the public and private sectors is used for construction, especially multi-story buildings, it is essential for owners and builders to think about how to optimize the balance between cost and function as they make major decisions about multi-story buildings. The concept of value engineering has evolved significantly and has been expanded over the years; today, numerous standards and related manuals exist. Various engineering databases, international journals, and conference proceedings were searched. International journals were searched for relevant research papers. This paper provides perspectives on value engineering in the contemporary structural engineering context in order to frame the breadth and multiple dimensions it encompasses, to summarize recent activities on selected relevant topics, and to highlight possible future directions in research and implementations.","PeriodicalId":45828,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Buildings International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2020-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17508975.2020.1806019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48563552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To evaluate the occupants’ well-being, the research uses the Flourish wheel, which is based on both the built environment and the social environment. The built environment part of the study analyses the buildings’ main features and the social environment part uses the qualitative method of interviewing the employees of the ‘Second Home’ company which designed the building. The occupants’ responses provided evidence that Biophilic design is a promising approach to improved health, wellbeing and productivity in the workplace. However, the results show two points related to the company’s use of this design. First, the use of Biophilia as an aesthetic value is not enough to reach the best environmental quality nor the occupants’ expectations in the office environment. The second is that Biophilia needs to go hand in hand with other technological features, all equally well designed for controlling the quality of the indoor environment, such as thermal comfort, air quality, lighting, acoustic comfort, and suitable spatial layout in offices.","PeriodicalId":45828,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Buildings International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2020-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17508975.2020.1807895","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44773573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sixteen semi-structured interviews were conducted for industry professionals in the IWM sector in Sri Lanka as the main data collection method in this study. The collected data were analysed using a code-based content analysis based on the directed approach. The research findings identified four main categories of strategies, namely, engineering, management, operational and regulatory. The findings are substantially beneficial for industry practitioners in the water management sector to overcome the issues in IWM practices regarding the water use efficiency, equity of water distribution, environmental integrity and economic acceptability.
