Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) is continuously on the rise, giving the construction industry the opportunity of having more sustainable, environmentally friendly activities, quicker construction time, and better safety and cost management. Current trending technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digital Twin, Cloud Technology, Automation, and Building Energy Modelling (BEM) are reshaping the practice of BIM and are imposing a greater perception of sustainability on the building industry.
The objective of this Special Issue is to explore the impact of such trending technologies on construction management practice throughout the integrated digital delivery process. This Special Issue seeks to present the benefits and challenges that the building industry is facing when adopting these technologies, with a special focus on sustainability as a cornerstone in the overall construction process.
For this Special Issue, we welcome papers dealing with case studies, literature reviews, survey findings, analytical methods, and tools. Examples of topics of interest include:
- Building Information Management (BIM) and Automation.
- BIM for sustainable construction.
- BIM-based virtual reality (VR).
- Virtual reality (VR) for visualization and planning in construction projects.
- AI for sustainable construction.
- Energy modelling for greener construction.
- The impact of Cloud Technology on construction practice.
- The use of digital twins in different construction applications.
- AI adoption for smart construction.
- Project Information Modelling (PIM) and Asset Information Modelling (AIM).
- The application, benefits, and challenges of Building Energy Modelling (BEM).
- The integration of BIM and BEM.
- The integration of BIM and blockchain technology.
