Bridging psychological distance of negotiation failure in construction dispute negotiation
Authors: Lin S , Cheung S O 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Negotiators are not always rational. Prior studies have found that negotiators tend to be overconfident about their ability to win and underestimate the possibility of negotiation failure. This biased judgment may lead to irrational evaluation and miss the chance to settle. It is argued that negotiators handle a negotiation respective to their perception of the risk of failing. The perception of failure therefore has a pivotal influence on the negotiation outcome and warrant deeper conceptual treatments. In this regard, this study aims to conceptualize construction dispute negotiators’ perception of negotiation failure. Applying the construal-level theory (CLT) and the concept of psychological distance (PD), a psychological distance of negotiation failure (PDNF) framework was developed. With data collected from construction negotiators, the PDNF framework was statistically supported. Four types of psychological distance of negotiation failure were identified, which are uncertainty, temporal distance, social distance, and frequency. The empirical findings provide a psychological perspective of how negotiators perceive the potential failure. Management can adopt the PDNF framework to gauge negotiators’ perceptions of failure. Timely interventions, such as conducting internal reviews with detailed information, taking periodic negotiation training, as well as assistance by third-party neutrals, are suggested to offset negotiators’ biased judgment.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Roofs are among the construction units in buildings with the highest number of deficiencies and problems. Given their direct and constant exposure to weather (temperature, wind, rain, snow…), even minor issues can lead to important pathology processes if not addressed early on. This research examines unresolved issues of pitched roofs in the capital of Spain which eventually led to the filing of lawsuits. Different types of deficiencies were detected (humidities, condensations, fissures…) and classified according to their recurrence. The thousands of pages of forensic reports presented to the courts were consulted and analysed to determine the probability/risk of recurrence, based on a number of factors. Among them is the causal origin (according to the properties/characteristics of the materials or to the placement/application conditions) and the respective building typologies (single-family houses or multi-storey buildings). The results that were obtained were calculated through weighted risk matrices of the existing interrelations, before determining the levels of joint severity and the classification categories according to the final operational value.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
The circular economy and digital transformation are two of the major trends over the last decade. Integrative methodological advances such as life cycle assessments, material flow analysis, and input-output tables are some of the current trends in circular economy case studies and scenarios. However, more efficient processes are required, and methods need to be adapted to the unique attributes of circular economy systems. This paper presents a descriptive analysis of current technological trends and topics in the circular economy. A scoping review and an automated content analysis were conducted in over 6000 abstracts available in Springer journals. Strategies such as applying data-driven design in the field of circular economy and using innovative information and communication technologies (ICTs) offer new possibilities for optimizing existing integration methods. New circular economy approaches, and systems could emerge based on taking advantage of technologies such as: artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Advanced Data Analytics, etc. Also, emerging topics in circular economy technologies focus on energy, policy, models, and global systems. The paper concludes with an outline of emerging technologies and identifies several future research directions.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
There is a current lack of management tools that guarantee control and traceability of actions taken by the generator of construction and demolition waste (CDW). Furthermore, the reinsertion of recycled CDW into productive cycle is necessary to foster a circular economy in construction sector. To address these challenges, this study builds a novel blockchain-based information management framework for CDW management in construction, which extends the applications of blockchain for improving circular economy in the sector. Using design science research as a methodological research strategy, this study presents and analyses a blockchain framework and its development processes. The framework performance was evaluated through simulation and quantitative and qualitative indicators. Through a SaaS (Software as a Service) concept, the system allows strengthens the connection between stakeholders looking for sustainable solutions for CDW management. These solutions are independent of the size or segment of the company and allow the creation of business opportunities within the industry itself that provide expertise to foster the circular economy such as reverse logistics, servitization, and industrial symbiosis.
The impact of regulations on construction and demolition waste market creation and stimulation: Australian stakeholders’ perception
Authors: Shooshtarian S , Maqsood T , Caldera S , Ryley T 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The use of recycled products largely depends on the existence of viable end markets. In Australia, state regulations have a pivotal role in creating and stimulating the market for recycled construction and demolition (C&D) waste products. Hence, this study aims to identify regulatory barriers and enablers affecting C&D waste end markets. This study employed a qualitative research approach to understand the effectiveness of the current C&D waste regulations. The data collection concerned a series of interviews with C&D waste experts across five Australian states (i.e., Victoria, New South Wales, Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia). Overall, 27 interviewees were recruited from various stakeholder groups (e.g., recycling, government, construction, consultation & manufacturing). The findings provide an insight into the primary factors affecting market development for recycled C&D waste materials. A series of reforms are proposed to improve the current regulatory framework. They aim to address issues around recycled C&D waste uptake in construction projects. The research contributes to the body of knowledge in the field of built environment and design by providing first-hand information about regulatory mechanisms involved in utilising recycled products. Policymakers and authorities can use the results to devise advanced regulations that provide a level playing field for all parties involved in C&D waste management in Australia and other countries with similar contextual conditions.

Authors: Adegoriola M I , Lai J H , Yung E H , Chan E H 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Heritage building maintenance management (HBMM), which has been recognized as a tool to enhance sustainability, enables the preservation of past legacies for future generations. HBMM is also known for reducing the intensity of climate change and preserving embodied energy through adaptive reuse and conservation. To this end, facility management (FM) – a multidisciplinary approach toward achieving the functionality of the built environment – has been increasingly applied. However, the absence of clearly identified critical success factors (CSFs) and a systematic framework for identifying the CSFs for effective performance measurement of HBMM remains a salient problem. Intended to bridge this gap, this study aims at developing a framework for identifying the CSFs for HBMM. Conducted at the beginning of the study was a review of relevant literature in the domains of HBMM and FM. Afterward, a conceptual framework was developed by integrating different levels (strategic, tactical, and operational) of FM concepts and useful building performance measurement tools, thus resulting in a guide for identifying CSFs to meet the objectives of HBMM stakeholders. This study’s outcome helps practitioners identify relevant CSFs for achieving organizational maintenance goals and contributes to the existing knowledge about the management of heritage buildings. It can also serve as a basis for future studies that assess the significance of the identified CSFs in HBMM.
Comparison of Green Building Rating Systems from LCA Perspective
Authors: Abdelaal Fatma , Guo Brian H.W. , Dowdell David 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Buildings account for a considerable proportion of carbon emissions throughout their lifecycle. Therefore, Green Building Rating Systems (GBRSs) have been developed globally to evaluate building environmental performance and mitigate their impacts on climate change. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as a science-based method has been recognised in the GBRSs to enhance the building environmental assessment. Regardless of the wide implementation of GBRSs, buildings carbon emissions have continued to rise by nearly 1% per year since 2010. Furthermore, no academic research has been conducted to compare GBRSs assessment criteria from the LCA perspective in respect of the recognition and weighting of (1) whole building LCA, (2) embodied carbon emissions and (3) operational carbon emissions. To this end, this research aims to evaluate the efficiency, validity and reliability of five international GBRSs (i.e., LEED, BREEAM, BEAM Plus, Green Star and Homestar) in terms of assessing and auditing the building total carbon emissions; embodied and operational emissions. Results show that conducting whole building LCA is an optional assessment criterion with negligible weighting. Moreover, the assessment of the operational carbon emissions make up the major portion of the total weighting in the existing GBRSs. By contrast, the assessment of building embodied carbon emissions is overlooked. Based on the results, shifting focus from operational carbon towards a full life cycle perspective is urgently needed to achieve the emissions reduction targets and so decarbonising the built environment.

Automated activity recognition of construction workers using single in-pocket smartphone and machine learning methods
Authors: Wang Guohao , Yu Yantao , Li Heng 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Automatic recognition of construction workers’ activities contributes to improving productivity and reducing the potential risk of injury. Kinematics sensors have been proved feasible and efficient to recognize construction activities. However, most of the sensors need to be tightly tied to workers’ bodies, which might result in uncomfortableness and workers’ reluctance to wear the sensors. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a less physically intrusive construction activities recognition method with a single in-pocket smartphone. The smartphone was placed in the pocket in a natural and non-fixed manner, with its built-in accelerometer and gyroscope collecting motion data. Machine learning-based classifiers were trained to recognize construction activities. An experiment simulating rebar activities was designed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The experiment results showed that the proposed method could identify rebar activities (with an accuracy over 94%) in a non-intrusive manner.

Authors: Zhao X , Ge B 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The technical and management issues that existed in traditional healthcare institutions, such as relatively lagging technologies, untimely information, have received increasing attention. In recent decades, the reconstruction or transformation of smart healthcare system has emerged as a new research trend. Especially with the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, the smart healthcare system realizes the timely allocation of medical resources and sharing of information. Therefore, this paper aims to develop an indicator framework for assessing the hospital’s readiness in transforming towards smart healthcare. First, based on the literature review, an indicator framework of readiness of smart healthcare transformation is developed for smart healthcare transformation, which includes three hierarchies of “ smart facility management (smart FM)”, “medical system (MS)” and “organizational management (OM)”. Secondly, an online questionnaire survey is conducted to test the validity of the indicator framework. Based on factor analysis, the indicator framework is proved to be effective as a whole, and all the 26 indicators are significant. Finally, the readiness of case hospital “A” in the smart healthcare transformation is examined by fuzzy synthetic evaluation method. The findings of this paper provide an assessment tool for medical institutions to self-evaluate their status in the information construction process.
A conceptual framework for including “safety in design” in engineering training and design practise
Authors: Shi Weifang , Chang-Richards Alice , Guo Brian H.W. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Despite significant efforts taken to reduce hazards on the construction site, statistics across the globe suggest that construction-related fatalities remain high. While prevention through design gains momentum to eliminate latent health & safety hazards at the upfront design stage, designers often lack experience in recognising hazards that occur later on during the construction or operational stage. To fill this gap, this paper develops a conceptual framework to better communicate safety in design (SiD) to designers, thus raising their awareness of SiD and building their capability when considering appropriate design features. The conceptual framework embrace visualization, knowledge sharing, highly engagement and embedded-in questionnaire technologies. This research is part of a doctoral study, and it is hoped to lay a conceptual foundation for ongoing research that aims to enable designers to embrace SiD in their training and practice in the future.
Reality Capture for Historic BIM (HBIM) Development of the Old Polk County Courthouse in Bartow, Florida, USA
Authors: Foreman G , Liu J 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Nestled in the historic district of the small Central Florida town of Bartow, the Old Polk County Courthouse (OPCC) served the citizens of Polk County from 1909 to 1987. Eventually replaced by a high-rise courthouse to accommodate population growth, the OPCC underwent major restorations between 1993 and 1996 and now serves as the Polk County History Center, which houses a historical museum and genealogical library. Due to its historical value within local and regional contexts, it was deemed important to archive the courthouse in a manner that can be utilized from a practical standpoint of preservation, operations, and maintenance and an academic standpoint for research of early 20th century buildings in the southeastern U.S. A research project has been done to use Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM) technology to digitally preserve and reconstruct the OPCC building. The findings of this project can be implemented to help digitally document and recreate other historic structures. This paper presents the work flow and technologies that were utilized to capture data for developing HBIM models of the OPCC, including conventional field surveys, LiDAR scanning, photogrammetry, and 360-degree photography.
Evaluating the Challenges of Data Management in COBie Datasheet and Mitigation Measures
Authors: Kumar Vishal , Lin Teo Evelyn Ai 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
BIM to FM has gained considerable attention. Nevertheless, BIM adoption for FM is still low. Issues such as lack of standardized process to develop FM data during design and construction stages, Standardized data format for data transfer, and fragmented databases are highlighted in multiple BIM-FM research. COBie defines when, how, and what data needs to be captured for FM purposes. However, previous research combined with explorative studies highlighted several challenges with handling the COBie datasheet, especially its widely used spreadsheet format. This study aims to identify the issues associated with COBie handling (especially its spreadsheet format) and propose a COBie Dataset Management System framework (CDMS) to help solve these issues. In developing the proposed CDMS framework, a critical review of the published articles related to the COBie datasheet has been conducted. An exploratory study using a BIM Model was conducted along with the literature review to understand the key challenges highlighted in the reviewed articles. Based on the identified key issues, underlying reasons were recognized, and key ideas for the framework have been developed, potentially solving these key challenges. The research finding will help develop COBie-centric applications and enhance the entire COBie data capturing workflow.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
The construction industry faces several challenges every day, which are pushing this sector to start a process of innovation. In this contest, Additive Manufacturing (AM) represents an innovation and digitalization opportunity; on this basis, this work will focus on an assessment of AM as an enabling technology for this industry, especially from a cost perspective. In particular, since there is not yet a suitable cost model for AM in construction, a cost model will be developed to assess whether it is cost effective to use 3D printing in the building industry. The results obtained from the application of the cost model on a case study are very promising as they open up new avenues for considering 3D printing as a valid alternative to traditional construction methods.
Success factors to large-scale adoption of wearable technology for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) prevention: a case study
Authors: Yin Q , Obonyo E , Eskandrani A , Zhao J 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Wearable technology has been playing an increasingly essential role in the construction domain, especially for safety and health related research. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are one of the most prevalent health problems among construction workers due to the physical demanding feature of the construction work. To solve this problem, wearable sensing technology has been applied for MSDs prevention. However, the large-scale adoption of wearables has encountered challenges and barriers. This study firstly reviewed recent literature on the factors influencing wearable technology adoption and designed a survey based on the review to further investigate adoption barriers and strategies using our proposed MSDs prevention system as a case study. The results demonstrate that the discomfort and fatigue caused by wearing devices for a long period of time is the main concerns hindering wearable adoption in our case. Construction managers expressed concerns on the indirect costs of implementation and workers expressed their concern on the invasion of privacy. To address these concerns, strategies to promote wearable adoption identified in literature such as worker training and education and providing personalized features were discussed. This study provides insight into the factors contributing to the large-scale adoption of wearable technology for MSDs prevention from the application perspective.
Multiple system integration in local government asset management: A New Zealand case study
Authors: Jiang J , Henning T F P , Zou Y 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Local government in New Zealand invests in numerous Asset Management Information Systems (AMIS) in order to support their infrastructure asset operations and management decision-making. However, the silo nature of the organisational operations and proprietary constraints of AMIS have created an environment of dispersed information and systems with little or no regard to interoperability or data sharing. Adopting multiple standalone systems creates difficulties for accessing, analysing and maintaining the asset, thus compromising management efficiency and effectiveness. Consequently, there is a great desire to bring the various AMIS systems together using a Multiple System Integration (MSI) approach. This study intends to examine the MSI concept by exploring more open-sourced systems such as GIS, which is widely used in local government’s asset planning and management. In addition, being the key driver behind the technology advancement in the construction industry, BIM has created innovative applications and widened the research domains in areas such as BIM and GIS integration studies. However, the multiple system approach to further integrate the existing AMIS, is missing from both the current industry practices and academic studies. Using a case study of a BIM implementation project carried out by a local government, this research illustrates and validates the integration of BIM/GIS with the lifecycle planning specific AMIS. The novel MSI approach provides a paradigm as a solution to improve the siloed operation manner. The approach will also set the foundation for future studies in local government’s digital transformation and in the field of developing true asset Digital Twins.
