Energy consumption in buildings can be classified into embodied energy and operational energy. Studies have indicated that operational energy contributes to 80%–90% of the total life cycle energy in buildings while embodied energy only contributes to 10%–20%. Though several strategies have been implemented to reduce OE, there has not been enough attention on reducing embodied energy in buildings. Therefore, it is vital to conduct a study on reducing embodied energy in buildings. A comprehensive literature review was conducted by referring to books, reports, theses, journals, magazines, and conference proceedings to identify several practices for reducing embodied energy in buildings as well as barriers to moving towards low embodied energy in buildings. In conclusion, the study showed that reducing embodied energy in buildings is an essential step towards achieving significant reductions in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector, and a concerted effort is needed to overcome the identified barriers and implement the identified practices.","PeriodicalId":503866,"journal":{"name":"16th International Research Conference - FARU 2023","volume":"2 26","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139194002","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}

The preservation of ecology while adding architectural interventions into sensitive places is a complex procedure, especially when dealing with highly sensitive eco-systems. To wisely integrate buildings with the natural environment of the wetlands, research on the design and application of integrating ESD standards is essential. The primary concept that applies the most to ESD recommendations for wetlands is the \"environmental briefing system\" (ESD), which is regarded as the most comprehensive and clearly expressed principles and strategies on ESD features. Furthermore, this research extends the framework to include strategies specific to RAMSAR wetlands, comprising 33 distinct methods organized within five primary rationales. This results in a comprehensive framework comprising 63 optional design measures tailored to conserve and protect urban RAMSAR wetlands effectively. In advance, the suggested framework could be used as a benchmark, an evaluation index, or an environmental assessment tool for projects that have already been completed. Additionally, it could be used as a fix-up tool, a checklist for design teams, or a benchmark for projects that are still in the pre-design stages.","PeriodicalId":503866,"journal":{"name":"16th International Research Conference - FARU 2023","volume":"41 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139194062","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}

The disadvantages of the Dispute Resolution Mechanisms (DRM) utilized in the projects have shifted the focus to conflict avoidance according to the premise that prevention is more effective than cure. On the other side, the chance of disagreements appears to be lower in projects procured by utilizing Building Information Modelling (BIM). However, there is a growing need to explore conflict avoidance from the standpoint of integrating Building Information Modelling in the Sri Lankan context. Therefore, this study seeks to investigate the applicability of integrating BIM as a dispute avoidance mechanism in Sri Lankan construction projects. A qualitative research approach was adopted to fulfil the study's goal. Specifically, the case study method was utilized, selecting suitable cases from the Colombo area that incorporate BIM in their respective building projects. Semistructured interviews were used to acquire research data from nine experienced individuals with BIM experience who were engaged in the selected cases. A strategic framework was developed based on the analysed causes of disputes in the selected cases, dispute avoidance tactics adopted in the cases, and BIM features that affect dispute avoidance strategies. The study concluded that BIM can be used as a potential dispute avoidance mechanism in Sri Lankan construction projects.","PeriodicalId":503866,"journal":{"name":"16th International Research Conference - FARU 2023","volume":"54 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139190435","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}

Qualitative data was gathered from experts directly involved in establishing desalination plants. while quantitative data were gathered from FMs overseeing water treatment facilities. Non-probability sampling was used, with thirty-six questionnaires distributed. Through the literature, identified eight stages in desalination plant development: planning, design, tendering, construction, operation and maintenance, testing and commissioning, handover, and demolition. To assess the significance of FM roles, the Relative Importance Index (RII) was applied. Key findings related to the FM role are, risk assessment being crucial in the planning stage, contract document preparation in the design phase, and evaluating tender submissions during tendering. Resource allocation took precedence in construction, while maintenance schedule preparation was paramount during operation and maintenance. In the testing and commissioning phase, ensuring proper design, installation, testing, operation, and maintenance was critical. During handover, overseeing project documents was vital, and contributing to demolition decisions was crucial in the demolition stage. These results underscore the essential role of FMs throughout desalination plant projects. They offer insights for organizations and industry professionals, facilitating a better understanding of FM responsibilities at each stage and improving overall project management.","PeriodicalId":503866,"journal":{"name":"16th International Research Conference - FARU 2023","volume":"59 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139192659","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}

Through a questionnaire survey and the application of the Relative Importance Index (RII) method, the study identifies and ranks the key factors for land use impact assessment. The findings reveal that factors such as site selection, erosion and sedimentation control, site assessment and development, and on-site renewable energy play a crucial role in assessing the land use impact of building construction projects. A comprehensive assessment framework is proposed, which allocates credits to these factors based on their significance. The developed framework provides a practical tool for evaluating and promoting sustainable land use practices in the construction industry. The research underscores the need for considering land use impacts throughout the entire life cycle of buildings and emphasizes the importance of integrating sustainable practices into construction processes. By adopting the identified factors and assessment framework, construction projects in Sri Lanka can enhance their sustainability performance and minimize their land use impacts, leading to a more environmentally responsible built environment.","PeriodicalId":503866,"journal":{"name":"16th International Research Conference - FARU 2023","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139193362","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}

Among these natural resources, water can be identified as one of the major concerns worldwide at present. Especially in urban area water distribution for essential activities of human beings is also becoming a challenge in most of the countries. As the consumption of natural resource is considerably high in construction industry, moving towards sustainable construction has been recommended. The linear approach, which the construction industry has been practising for years related to all kinds of resources, has become a threat towards the sustainable construction. Construction sector accounts for about 30% of the world's freshwater consumption. In Sri Lankan construction industry, the focus on management of water is limited. Among the natural resources urban water holds a significant place. While highlighting the importance of urban water management, this paper aims to explore the key challenges in circular water management in Sri Lankan construction industry. 12 semi-structured interviews with industry practitioners and academic experts on circular economy were conducted and the data were analysed using manual content analysis. The findings revel that most of the challenges in implementing circular water management in the construction industry in Sri Lanka are due to lack of awareness, realisation, involvement, and commitment by both citizens and the government. Hence the paper has recommended 6R concept towards implementing circular urban water management within the Sri Lankan construction industry as the authors believe that managing urban water is one of the significant actions to be considered now before it becomes too late in achieving long term sustainability.","PeriodicalId":503866,"journal":{"name":"16th International Research Conference - FARU 2023","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139193556","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}

In contemporary cities, streets have been transformed into typical thoroughfares though they represent the essence of their communities and generate intricate networks. Moreover, the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasise building resilient and sustainable cities that ensure universal accessibility, safety, and adaptability. The primary objectives of this paper are to reevaluate streets as social hubs building trust among neighbours creating opportunities and analysing the scopes to incorporate them into the community development process as a gateway to initiate social interaction and participation in terms of establishing inclusive communities with liveable streets. As a reference, the Mirpur area, one of the densely populated areas of Dhaka city, is taken as a representation to address the problem and the research has been carried out with the assistance of Google Earth, field surveys, previous research works, interviews with community members and aimed to uphold the contribution of well-designed streets that can give authority to a community from all perspectives. However, the study substantiates the impact of streets on the social, economic life of the inhabitants and depicts how the streets hold the essence of dwellers and encourage participation through potential influence. According to the collected data nd their analyses, it demonstrates that more than 50% of the inhabitants regardless gender gather spontaneously on the streets everyday for different purposes, which make streets a potential social and economic hub as well as a successful urban space with a lot of opportunities to upgrade urban life for the residents as a whole.","PeriodicalId":503866,"journal":{"name":"16th International Research Conference - FARU 2023","volume":"53 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139191650","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}
