“…BIM became more influential within construction projects, which commonly are used for the design, visualization, planning, facilities management and cost estimating purposes. Using modern modelling tools, such as Revit Architecture, ArchiCAD or Tekla Structures, the content produced by architects, designers and engineers have evolved from traditional 2D-drawings, sketches and written specifications to parametric, object-oriented 3D-models embedded with information to describe any building or facility in detail (Pan et al, 2017). With BIM technology, an accurate virtual model of a building is digitally constructed (Azhar et al, 2008).…”

When compared to the manufacturing industry, the advances of intelligent and seamless project management approaches lag behind in the construction industry. This is due to the complexity of the construction projects as well as various stakeholders who acquire specific interest of the project. For instance, public building construction has many sub-tasks and numerous systematised working processes such as planning, mobilisation, scheduling, procurement and controlling. The management of the processes of each phase of the project life cycle is of great importance in order to prevent project delay and cost overrun. A particular importance is required if construction robotics is involved since precise process and scheduling information as well as feedback are critical to ensure each task is completed accordingly. This paper proposes a holistic system approach, which focuses on the process-oriented management for on-site construction. To succeed, the Process Information Modelling (PIM) concept is introduced. The main goal of PIM is to integrate Building Information Modelling (BIM) for extensible solutions with a process-based database platform, which allows for smooth data transfer and supports continuous data sharing among all stakeholders. The overall aim is to develop a collaborative way of planning, designing, producing, assembling and managing the entire project life cycle strategy. Digital documentation, simulation and real-time data are produced progressively to facilitate decision-making. A case study applying the PIM concept for the façade painting task by a painting robot for an on-going consultancy project commissioned by the construction industry council (CIC) in Hong Kong is presented. This paper is the revised version of the paper that has been published in the proceedings of the Creative Construction Conference 2018 (Pan et al., 2018).

“…This has been proven to be a modelling approach useful in the planning, designing, producing, assembling, and managing of a repeatable deployment process. 49 Once the optimal ZERO-PLUS design is achieved and all settlements are built, another important step is the verification of the real energy performance of the buildings and the energy production by the renewable energy systems. For this reason, a monitoring framework has been designed to assess the performance of every building and all the technologies during the operation phase of the settlements.…”

Almost a century ago Modernism challenged the structure of the city and reshaped its physical space in order to, amongst other things, accommodate new transportation infrastructure and road networks proclaiming the, nowadays much-debated ‘scientificated’ pursuit of efficiency for the city. This transformation has had a great impact on the way humans still design, move in, occupy and experience the city. Today major cities in Europe, such as Paris and London, are considering banning vehicles from their historic centers. In parallel, significant effort is currently underway internationally by designers, architects, and engineers to integrate innovative technologies and sophisticated solutions for energy production, management, and storage, as well as for efficient energy consumption, into the architecture of buildings. In general, this effort seeks for new technologies and design methods (e.g., DesignBuilder with EnergyPlus simulation engine; Rhicoceros3D with Grasshopper plugin and Ecotect, Radiance and EnergyPlus tools) that would enable a holistic approach to the spatial design of Near-Zero Energy buildings, so that their ecological benefits are an added value to the architectural design and a building’s visual, and material, impact on its surrounding space. The paper inquires how the integration of such technological infrastructure and performance-orientated interfaces changes yet again the structure and form of cities, and to what extent it safeguards social rights and enables equal access to common resources. Drawing from preliminary results and initial considerations of ongoing research that involve the construction of four innovative NZE settlements across Europe, in the context of the EU-funded ZERO-PLUS project, this paper discusses the integration of novel infrastructure in communal spaces of these settlements. In doing so, it contributes to the debate about smart communities and their role in the sustainable management of housing developments and settlements that are designed and developed with the concept of smart territories.

Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based processes are increasingly being adopted worldwide. With it, possibilities to exploit digitization had been appearing for the AEC sector. In that context, the present work aims to investigate how, and in which form, a Cyber-Physical System (CPS), one of many different but complementary technologies associated with the future of manufacturing, could be employed in the Construction industry. Recognizing that the core of CPS should be the dynamics of construction processes, the initial focus is in how to develop Process Data Models (virtual) that could communicate with Product Data Models (BIM models), and receive/send data in almost real-time from/for the existent hardware (sensors and actuators) in the physical production processes. This article present some preliminary work based on the standardized methodology of IDM/MVD, which are part of the buildingSMART solution for interoperability along with Industry Foundation Class (IFC) data schema. The proposed methodology considers an IDM modelled in Business Process Modeling and Notation (BPMN) language in such detail as to expose the workflow of production. The contribution in this context is in mapping production processes in BPMN notation into Petri Nets (PN) semantics. Petri Nets are an adequate model to construction processes, with precise semantics and largely used in the simulation of discrete events. With PN models it would be possible to develop the BIM-based control strategy, and test and implement it in real controllers. An illustrative example is provided in the context of automating cut and bend of rebar.
