“…The project takes two hundred and eighteen working days to be accomplished. The construction site consists of a main building under construction, five materials storage areas and four temporary facilities [17,18]. The construction site dimensions are 50 × 20 m. The daily interest rate (DIR) is assumed to be 0.03%, time independent direct cost (TIDC) is set to be 30000 EGP/day and the liquidated damage cost (LQD) equals to 20000 EGP/day based on the expert interviews data.…”

List of Abbreviations AbstractThe effective and efficient management of construction resources is the core of success for any construction project. Traditionally, researchers and industry professionals identify the five main construction resources to include, time, capital, labor, equipment and material. Although, one of the important project resources that have been overlooked during the planning phases of most construction projects is site space. The contractors in Egypt impose serious challenges to plan for material procurement and site logistics due to the insufficiency of construction site space. The aim of this research is to optimize the construction logistics planning cost in Egypt. A literature review is performed on an adapted construction logistics planning model, whereas, implementing and verifying the automated construction logistics planning model using genetic algorithms, applying and validating a case study to the automated construction logistics planning model to the Egyptian industry which is expected to help contractors in Egypt to develop more optimized site layout plans and procurement plans to avoid material shortage and unorganized site layouts that could led to cost overruns.

“…Decisions made at this stage have a great impact on the building's energy performance. There are currently many strategies for simulation in the early stages, but Space Layout Planning (SLP), despite its long tradition (Liggett, 2000;Medjdoub and Yannou, 2001;Elezkurtaj and Frank, 2002), has not been incorporated into them. The field of Space Layout Planning has been researched since the 1950s and it has produced satisfactory results.…”

“…Following Lobos (2011), Liggett (2000, Medjdoub and Yannou (2001), Earl and March (1979), Rahman et al (2002), graphs have been chosen to describe and visualize floor plan information. Graphs can represent a schematic floor plan ( Figure 6) and new design can be done.…”

-This research focuses on a new workflow between the fields of Space Layout Planning (SLP) and Building Performance Simulation (BPS) for the early stages of building design with the aim of reducing the energy needs of a building and improving indoor environment quality. Parameters of environmental performance requirements, such as temperature, view, acoustics, and so forth, were selected from different international standards. The intention is to link these performance parameters to a graph that supports schematic design tasks during the creation of architectural floor plans. Programming tests were run to add the information to the graph. A prototype for the early stages of the design is presented in which designers can visualize performance information during the schematic design of floor plans for a building. The complete framework for a BIM (Building Information Modeling) application is described and a case study is presented to demonstrate the usability of the concept.Keywords: building information modeling, space layout planning, floor plan design, building performance simulation, building energy performance, architectural design.Building performance information and graphs approach for the design of fl oor plans Universidad del Bío-Bío RESUMO -Esta pesquisa concentra-se em uma nova linha de trabalho entre os campos de Space Layout Planning (SLP) e Building Performance Simulation (BPS) para fases iniciais de projeto e está destinada a reduzir as necessidades de energia de um edifício e melhorar a qualidade do ambiente interior. Foram selecionados parâmetros de desempenho do ambiente de diferentes normas internacionais, tais como: temperatura, acústica, visual, etc. O objetivo é vincular esses parâmetros de desempenho a um arquivo gráfico. Este gráfico suporta desenhos esquemáticos que são elaborados durante o processo de projeto. Testes de programação foram executados para adicionar estas informações ao gráfico. Um protótipo para as fases iniciais é apresentado. Este protótipo permite aos projetistas verificar, ainda em fase de planta esquemática, informações sobre o desempenho do edifício durante o processo de projeto. A estrutura completa para a aplicação do Building Information Modeling (BIM) é descrito e um estudo de caso é apresentado para demonstrar a aplicação do conceito.Palavras-chave: building information modeling, space layout planning, processo de projeto, desempenho energético do edifício, projeto arquitetônico.
