Altwassi, Esraa J. (author), Aysu, Emre (author), Ercoskun, Kerem (author), Abu-Raed, A.S.I. (author)The importance of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in construction and facility operation is unquestionable, but there is a clear discrepancy between the data included in as-built BIM models and the expected use specified by customers. This disparity presents significant obstacles in properly using BIM for facility management and operational...journal article 2024

Schwind, Nicolas (author), Demirović, E. (author), Inoue, Katsumi (author), Lagniez, Jean Marie (author)In one of its simplest forms, Team Formation involves deploying the least expensive team of agents while covering a set of skills. While current algorithms are reasonably successful in computing the best teams, the resilience to change of such solutions remains an important concern: Once a team has been formed, some of the agents considered...journal article 2023

Pirzadian, J. (author), Souhoka, T. (author), Herweijer, M. (author), van Heel, M.E. (author), van Wamel, W. J.B. (author), Goossens, R.H.M. (author), Severin, J. A. (author), Vos, M. C. (author)In hospitals, sinks act as reservoirs for bacterial pathogens. To assess the extent of splashing, fluorescein dye was added to four hospital sinks previously involved in pathogen dispersal to the environment and/or transmission to patients, and one sink that was not. Applying dye to the p-trap or tailpiece did not result in any fluorescent...journal article 2022

Borkowski, Esther (author), Luna-Navarro, Alessandra (author), Michael, Michalis (author), Overend, M. (author), Rovas, Dimitrios (author), Raslan, Rokia (author)The thermal performance of adaptive building envelopes can be evaluated using building performance simulation tools. Simulation capabilities and accuracy in predicting the dynamic behaviour of adaptive building envelopes can be enhanced through co-simulation. However, it is unclear how accurately co-simulation can predict the performance of...journal article 2022

loddo, M. (author)The use of digital tools in architecture and design education has been experimented with since the 1990s. The representation and communication of architectural narratives have been facing an unprecedented challenge in education, research, and practice during the past couple of years. This study investigates if using 360-degree photography/video...journal article 2021

Ho, Man Ying (Annie) (author), Lai, Joseph H.K. (author), Hou, H. (author), Zhang, D. (author)Key performance indicators (KPIs) are quintessentially useful for performance evaluation, but a set of pragmatic KPIs for holistic evaluation of retrofits for commercial buildings is hitherto unavailable. This study was conducted to address this issue. Built upon the findings of a systematic literature review and a focus group meeting in the...journal article 2021

Onstein, A.T.C. (author), Bharadwaj, I. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), van Damme, Dick A. (author), el Makhloufi, Abdel (author)Distribution centres are becoming more and more relevant for spatial planning, due to their rapidly increasing size and number. There is little literature, however, that provides a generalized analysis of the size and functional attributes of distribution centres, and none that discusses the relationships between these attributes. Our aim is to...journal article 2021

Brown, J.M.C. (author), Dimmock, Matthew R. (author)The production, application, and/or measurement of polarised X-/gamma rays are key to the fields of synchrotron science and X-/gamma-ray astronomy. The design, development and optimisation of experimental equipment utilised in these fields typically relies on the use of Monte Carlo radiation transport modelling toolkits such as Geant4. In...journal article 2021

Li, Xinhong (author), Khan, Faisal (author), Yang, M. (author), Chen, C. (author), Chen, Guoming (author)Subsea gas release is an industrial hazard that can impose fire hazards on offshore facilities near the gas surfacing area. However, risk assessment of the fire caused by subsea gas release is challenged due to inadequate recognition of the knowledge of subsea gas release mechanism and resulting hazards. At present, minimal researches...journal article 2021

Baharmand, Hossein (author), Comes, M. (author), Lauras, Matthieu (author)In the humanitarian response, multiple decision-makers (DMs) need to collaborate in various problems, such as locating temporary relief distribution centres (RDCs). Several studies have argued that maximising demand coverage, reducing logistics costs and minimising response time are among the critical objectives when locating RDCs after a...journal article 2020

Cheraghi, Morteza (author), Eslami Baladeh, Aliakbar (author), Khakzad, N. (author)Hazard and Operability analysis (HAZOP) is a popular technique for hazard identification and risk ranking in hazardous facilities. Conventional HAZOP, however, has some drawbacks: (i) it considers a limited number of risk factors, i.e., only the frequency and the severity of hazards; (ii) it assumes equal weights for the risk factors, thus...journal article 2019

Kheybari, S. (author), Kazemi, Mostafa (author), Rezaei, J. (author)One of the major factors in the success of renewable energy is finding a proper location for production facilities. At a national level, different parts of a country (e.g. provinces) can be seen as alternatives that can be assessed based on a set of criteria, and ranking them to identify the best location. The focus in this paper is on...journal article 2019
