The domain of data processing is essential to accelerate the delivery of information based on electronic performance monitoring (EPM). The classification of the activities conducted by craft workers can enhance the mechanisation and productivity of activities. However, research in this field is mainly based on simulations of binary activities (i.e., performing or not performing an action). To enhance EPM resear...
Purpose This paper aims to further the discussion on Building Information Modelling (BIM) legal requirements, providing a framework with key energy parameters capable of supporting the Appointing Party in the definition of the Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) for a BIM project appointment. The EIR is described in ISO-19650-1:2018 as a fundamental step in the information delivery cycle. Design/methodology...
Laser scanning, as a rising topic within the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, has been increasing both in importance and practice as a means of gathering in-situ geometric data. Several studies have covered possible applications of this technology, from construction monitoring to damage assessment, with Building Information Modelling (BIM) being one of its focus. Despite this, to prese...
The thermal comfort retrofitting of existing transport stations is an opportunity to increase the interest in the use of public transportation while improving the performance of the building, and consequently reduce the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of this study is to implement an innovative methodology to evaluate and improve the thermal comfort of an existing semi-outdoor bus stati...
