“…There are also several indexes used for computing the planning level with lack of established validity. For example, preproject-planning index is computed with a weighted set of planning written documents [17], and Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI) is also a weighted score sheet mainly used for determining the level of scope definition [37].…”

Abstract:With the balanced requirement of environmental, economic and social objectives in projects intensifying, the need for integrating sustainability with project management has drawn attention in both academia and practice. Especially for large complex construction engineering projects, how to achieve sustainability-related objectives in project practices has been endowed with an irreplaceable significance. This study explores the use of project planning practices for integrating sustainability into project management practices of construction engineering projects. Sustainable project planning, as the main instrument of sustainable project management, was put forward and measured to help project managers and practitioners understand what it is and how to carry it out in construction engineering projects. Qualitative methods based on content analysis of interview data of project managers from construction engineering projects, as well as quantitative method on account of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of statistical data, were used to define and assess the construct of sustainable project planning (SPP). Results indicate that SPP as a project planning practice combine the principles of sustainability should consist of three dimensions-managerial control, risk response, and work consensus-to guarantee sustainable construction and predict project success of construction engineering projects. This study shed light on academics and practices concerning the sustainable management of project planning activities and the achievement of sustainable-related objectives in construction engineering projects.

This research was carried out to determine the effect of scope definition on public building projects that are implemented by project implementing agencies (PIAs) in Malawi. The research sought to investigate the relationship between the level of scope definition and the corresponding performance of infrastructure projects.The study demonstrated the correlation between the level of project scope definition and the success of infrastructure projects. A project scope definition tool called the 'project definition rating index' (PDRI) was used in this research to measure the level of project scope definition.The research concluded that there is a significant direct correlation between scope definition and the corresponding performance of the sampled infrastructure projects in Malawi's PIAs. Projects that were well-defined tended to exhibit good project performance indicators, while those that were poorly-defined tended to exhibit poor project performance indicators. OPSOMMINGHierdie navorsing is uitgevoer om die effek wat omvang definisie het op openbare bouprojekte wat deur projek uitvoering agentskappe (PIA) in Malawi geïmplementeer word, te bepaal. Die navorsing poog om die verhouding tussen die vlak van omvang definisie en die ooreenstemmende prestasie van infrastruktuurprojekte te ondersoek.Die studie toon verder die korrelasie tussen die vlak van die projek omvang definisie en die sukses van infrastruktuurprojekte. 'n Projek omvang definisie instrument genoem 'Project Definition Rating Index' (PDRI) is in hierdie navorsing gebruik om die vlak van die projek omvang definisie te meet.Die navorsing se gevolgtrekking is dat daar 'n beduidende direkte korrelasie tussen omvang definisie en die ooreenstemmende prestasie van die tersaaklike groep infrastruktuurprojekte in die PIA van Malawi is. Projekte wat goed gedefinieer is was geneig om goeie projek prestasie-aanwysers te toon, terwyl diegene wat swak gedefinieer is geneig was om swak projek prestasie-aanwysers te toon.

ABSTRACT:With the increased awareness of energy consumption as well as the environmental impact of building operations, architects, designers and planners are required to place more consideration on sustainability and energy performance of the building. To ensure most of those considerations are reflected in the building performance, critical design decisions should be made by key stakeholders early during the design development stage. The application of BIM during building energy simulations has profoundly improved the energy analysis process and thus this approach has gained momentum. However, despite rapid advances in BIM-based processes, the question still remains how ordinary building stakeholders can perform energy performance analysis, which has previously been conducted predominantly by professionals, to maximize energy efficient building performance. To address this issue, we identified two leading building performance analysis software programs, Energy Plus and IES , and compared their effectiveness and suitability as BIM-based energy simulation tools. To facilitate this study, we examined a case study on Building Performance Model (BPM) of a single story building with one door, multiple windows on each wall, a slab and a roof. We focused particularly on building energy performance by differing building orientation and window sizes and compared how effectively these two software programs analyzed the performance. We also looked at typical decision-making processes implementing building energy simulation program during the early design stages in the U.S. Finally, conclusions were drawn as to how to conduct BIM-based building energy performance evaluations more efficiently. Suggestions for further avenues of research are also made.
