Education for Sustainable Construction
Sander van Nederveen, Reza Beheshti
This chapter presents and discusses the way current civil engineering
students at Delft University of Technology are prepared for their role as
future leaders in construction innovation. First, a vision and a number of
themes are discussed that are used for the development of the current
curriculum. These themes are partially related to the Living Building
Concept and are dealing with such themes as value-oriented building and
Building Information Modelling. Next, the current curriculum is described
with an emphasis on the courses that should contribute to the goal of
education for sustainable construction. Finally the curriculum is evaluated
against the vision and objectives on sustainable construction.
Modelling Outcomes of Collaboration in Building Information
Modelling Through Gaming Theory Lenses
Oluwole A Olatunji, Willy D Sher, Ning Gu
This chapter discusses the importance of collaboration in the construction
industry. Uses three gaming models – Prisoner’s dilemma, Pareto Optima,
and Hawk-dove, to demonstrate the implications of current developments in
Building Information Modelling adoption, and associated challenges to
design teams and stakeholders. Considers possible outcomes in virtual
environments using gaming methods.
The Climate Adaptive Skin – Developing a New Façade Concept Using
Passive Technologies
Bas Hasselaar, Wim van der Spoel, Regina Bokel, Hans Cauberg
This chapter describes the concept behind a new façade that uses phase
change materials to condition a room without consuming much energy.
Presents simulation results of its performance for both heating and
ventilation of an office space.
Use of Wireless Sensors in the Building Industry, SensoByg
Claus V Nielsen, Henrik E Sorensen
This chapter introduces a Danish research project on the use of wireless
sensors for surveying buildings and structures. Describes the sensor
technology and details specific applications in a highway bridge, moisture
monitoring in buildings, and in concrete production
