“…Many studies in different industries have focused on modeling decision-making and scheduling, such as building a decision support model for the maintenance and management of green areas [8], renovation scheduling to minimize user impacts in a building that remains in operation [5], and optimized maintenance and renovation scheduling in multifamily buildings [1]. For instance, Lee et al [8] propose a model using a decision support system to provide an appropriate maintenance schedule of green areas on campus by optimizing manpower.…”

“…During the renovation, the owner usually requires that the building operates normally despite the renovation project. Generally, renovation projects involve multiple types of construction projects, including reconstruction, rehabilitation, and remodeling [5]. The renovation project has a distinctive environment and creates larger limitations for the owner, the engineer, the contractor, the operator, and the user [6].…”

“…Due to the complexity of existing building characteristics, such as limited work areas and shared utilization of space by workers and occupants, renovation projects have a large tendency towards reducing the convenience of the occupants, as well as safety issues and project delays. Hence, the impact on the occupants of the building as a result of the renovation activities should be kept to a tolerable extent [5]. (2).…”

Renovation construction is employed for maintaining the long-term performance of buildings. For the occupants, the building users, renovation contributes to the acceptable levels of convenience and quality of the buildings. However, if the operation continues during the renovation for an area containing several buildings, such as a university campus, the impacts on the occupants are unavoidable. The complicated schedule plan is needed due to the various types of buildings and types of renovation under limited resources. The goal of this study is to build a model that can help the planners to make the renovation schedule plan. Taking a university campus as an example, the occupants’ convenience rate and the long-term quality of the building are analyzed in this paper. Based on the key attributes of building renovation, this study proposes a model integrating the genetic algorithm and simulation to provide the optimal schedule plan to the planners. The model is demonstrated by an application case of a university campus of 11 buildings remaining in operation. It helps the university maintain a good level of long-term performance of buildings.

“…Another approach is to use a computer simulation program. Simulations have previously been used to monitor building performance (Hong 2000) in areas such as renovation scheduling simulation (Lee 2012), and occupant evacuation planning (Yang et al 2005), etc. In addition, the majority of renovation research in existing buildings has focused on the multi attribute assessment (Zavadskas et al 2009), multiple criteria evaluation (Kaklauskas et al 2005;Zavadskas, Antucheviciene 2007), and decision support system (Kaklauskas et al 2008).…”

Building renovation is an effective way to revive the use of a building, the use efficiency of which is primarily determined by its layout. However, in architectural practice, architects and building owners renovate buildings based on their personal subjective perceptions of how occupants use the building instead of systematically analyzing their use behaviors. This study proposes a model, called the Function-space Assignment and MOvement Simulation (FAMOS) model, which integrates radio frequency identification (RFID), fast messy genetic algorithms (fmGA), and movement simulation techniques to solve the function-space assignment problem. The RFID equipment is specifically used to track the occupants' movement data in a building, the fmGA is employed to identify the optimal result of function assignment, and the movement simulation technique is adopted to verify the result and support the decision-making of function-space assignment. This study presents a real case study to demonstrate the use of FAMOS and compare its assignments with those generated by a renovation architect. The objective function showed that FAMOS's version had a 14.80% higher objective value than the architect's version. The experiment also showed that FAMOS helped the architect find the best assignment or improve their assignment based on desired objectives such as preferred space size, minimized movement distance, or removal of corridor congestion.

“…Table 1 presents a set of categories of disruption, which was identified in a literature review of retrofit projects. In summary, there is a need to develop detailed plans for the execution of retrofit works, as well as clear communication of the costs and technical solutions adopted, to enable users to perceive explicitly the benefits of the retrofit and make appropriate decisions (Miller and Buys, 2011;Sunikka-Blank et al, 2012;Wallace, 1986 Lee (2012), Haines and Mitchell (2014), Fawcett (2014) Tenants need to move out to avoid sharing the same space with workers Disruption of internal environment: happens when retrofit works affect the internal environment by generating different levels of pollution Noise provided by use of work tools such as hammers and mallets Whiteman and Irwig (1988), Ciria (2004), Miller and Buys (2011), Lee (2012), Jones (2013) Dust or debris resulting from demolition, building, plaster and so on Engineering Sustainability Building information modelling to cut disruption in housing retrofit Chaves, Tzortzopoulos, Formoso and Biotto enable users and workers to share effectively the same spaces during retrofit.…”

There is a large stock of solid-wall homes in the UK with poor thermal insulation and low energy performance.Although the UK government has supported efforts to improve these buildings, the identification of appropriate technical solutions that effectively improve the existing stock remains challenging. This research investigates how four dimensional building information modelling (4D BIM) could improve the retrofit of social housing, specifically that of 'no-fines' solid-wall homes, through the development of what-if scenarios that enable the analysis of alternative solutions considering costs, energy performance and disruption to users. This paper focuses on the use of 4D building information models to evaluate disruption to end users. The results indicate that the development of such models supports a better understanding of the retrofit process on site. It also supports the definition of production plans with as minimal disruption as possible to users while delivering energy-oriented and cost-effective solutions.
