“…The value-generation dimension seeks to align the designed product with the user's needs. However, different authors (e.g., Forgues et al, 2018;Tzortzopoulos et al, 2020) stress that the value dimension is not sufficiently taken into account in traditional practices. Where it is addressed, the main value considered is the "value for money," not the "value for user," which means that functional values are prioritized (Gomes Miron et al, 2015) since users are usually neglected.…”

This systematic literature review aims to identify and compare the main participative approaches to empowering users in construction projects. Whereas different approaches are mobilized, findings suggest that research on project management has focused primarily on sponsors, who are in a position to control project resources, with users often being overlooked. This lack of involvement creates gaps between user expectations and delivered construction projects. The review therefore finds that, on principle and to assure added value, project managers should consider implementing a user-empowering approach right from the planning stage. Guidelines for practical considerations for a participative approach to project management are suggested.

“…Renovation projects distinguish themselves from other project types by having several unique characteristics. Recent works by Wandahl (2018), andTzortzopoulos et al (2020), have shed light on renovation and point out that the main challenges are: (1) existing building structures with several unknown characteristics; (2) an often not optimal construction site layout for logistics and material handling; (3) highly specialized tasks and trades, e.g., removing asbestos, etc. ; and (4) dealing with occupied buildings and tenants on site.…”

Correlation of Construction Workers’ Movement and Direct Work Rates

The Work Sampling (WS) technique, used worldwide to understand how workers spend their time, represents a time-consuming and costly activity. Therefore, several researchers work on different approaches to automate the data collection using sensor-based and vision-based technologies. The challenge of all the sensor-based approaches is that they do not provide the share of time in different work categories. The lack of knowledge on a possible correlation between Direct Work and, e.g., presence, location, or worker movement represents a gap in the current body of knowledge. Thus, this research aims to understand the correlation between Direct Work as the independent predictor variable; and Movement as the dependent response variable. The authors used the data gathered through the application of WS in five case studies on building renovation projects in Denmark. To explain this correlation. The authors selected a combination of four quantitative techniques: (1) curve estimation; (2) linear regression; (3) ANOVA analysis; and (4) t-test. The correlation of the result is discussed considering three assumptions: (1) the structure of the day; (2) global vs. local; and (3) Movement vs. Transporting and Walking. The result shows a significant correlation between Direct Work and Movement with an average R 2 of 0.328. This is considered acceptable predictability taking the socio-technical system aspect of a construction site into account.

“…Technically, POE is defined as “the process of evaluating buildings systematically and rigorously after they have been built and occupied for some time” (Preiser et al , 2015, p. 3). POE methods include physical indoor environmental measurements, assessments of water and energy use, occupant satisfaction surveys, focus group meetings, structured interviews, visual records, walkthroughs and technical measurement of buildings structure, services and systems (Sanni-Anibire et al , 2016a; Tzortzopoulos et al , 2020). POE studies are mainly targeted toward the occupants, and then the indoor environmental quality, use of energy and the overall facility’s design.…”

Purpose This study aims to present the post-occupancy evaluation (POE) of a smart building on a university campus. Design/methodology/approach Literature review was conducted to report on the smart building concept and POE. A total of 49 performance indicators, classified according to the technical, functional and behavioral elements, were investigated. A case study of a smart building in a university campus was selected to assess the users’ satisfaction through POE. A total of 90 users from the academic and administrative staff of the building were contacted through a Web-based questionnaire survey, while 35 usable responses were obtained. Findings The findings revealed that the occupants were satisfied with several aspects of the building performance indicators; however, issues related to ventilation, control of thermostats, amount of natural lighting through low-E windows and privacy were identified. Ultimately, the study reveals that, although the adoption of smart technologies has the potential to provide an excellent and comfortable work environment, the efficient selection and/or maintenance of the adopted technologies is crucial. Originality/value The concept of smart buildings is perceived to be the future of the industry. Despite this growing need for “smartization,” the performance of a building ultimately depends on how it satisfies the needs of those who use them. The value and implication of this study is inherent in its emphasis on the satisfaction of buildings users in futuristic designs of buildings. The study shows that POEs can be used to assess the satisfaction of users of smart buildings to understand what works, as well as what needs redesign or improvement.
