Full textAbstract:
With growing awareness of the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, much effort has been made to achieve “sustainability” in the building sector. Across the globe, many architects and building owners are striving to realize mandatory or voluntary building certification, in order to affirm the environmental performance of their buildings. Various sustainable design strategies and green building technologies have been adopted to improve buildings’ environmental performance as well as to achieve higher levels of certification. These technologies and strategies could affect building occupants’ satisfaction as well as productivity. This paper presents the results of post occupancy evaluation (POE) surveys to investigate occupants’ awareness of various green building technologies and their satisfaction levels and causes of dissatisfaction for selected technologies. A questionnaire survey was conducted for an office building in Korea that had received the highest grades in rating and certification systems. Some technologies showed higher levels of awareness and satisfaction, but there were also a few technologies with lower levels of satisfaction than we had expected. If these technologies are applied to buildings in the future, after improvisation or modification based on the POE results, it could serve as an effective strategy to increase people’s satisfaction as well as improve environmental performance.

PurposeThis paper examines the use of intelligent technologies in buildings and whether the use of smart technologies impacts the circular economy performance of buildings in terms of energy and water consumption, their marginal cost and the management decision time and quality, for building management companies.Design/methodology/approachThe study is initiated through the detailed build-up of the proposition that employs a systematic literature review and adopts the case study research design to make a cross-case analysis of the information extracted from data. The data are derived from the operating costs of two buildings in which most advanced smart technologies are used in Cape Town and interviews with their facility managers. These data provide two research case studies. The results of the investigation are then analysed and linked back to the literature.FindingsThe results of the research suggest that the implementation of smart technologies to create intelligent infrastructure is beneficial to the circular economy performance of buildings and the time taken for management decisions. The results of the study have proven that the impact of smart technologies on the circular economy performance of buildings is positive, as it lowers the cost of utilities and decreases the time required for management decisions.Research limitations/implicationsThe research reported in this paper is exploratory, and due to its limited sample size, its findings may not be statistically generalizable to the population of high-occupancy buildings in Cape Town, which incorporate smart infrastructure technologies within their building management systems (BMSs). Also, the empirical data collected were limited to the views and opinions of the interviewees, and the secondary data were obtained from the selected buildings.Practical implicationsThe findings suggest that investment in smart technologies within buildings is of significant value and will improve the circular economy performance of buildings in terms of low energy and water use, and effective management decisions.Social implicationsThe results imply that there would be more effective maintenance decisions taken by facilities managers, which will enable the maintenance of equipment to be properly monitored, problems with the building services and equipment to be identified in good time and in improved well-being and user satisfaction.Originality/valueThe study provides evidence to support the concept that advanced smart technologies boost performance, the time required for management decisions and that they enable circularity in buildings. It supports the proposition that investment in the more advanced smart technologies in buildings has more positive rewards.

This paper focuses on the definition of a method supported by digital processes for a sustainable and user-orientated re-design of the existing building stock. Based on the analysis of the methodological and procedural aspects of the computational approach to architectural design in relation to different performance conditions, the research addresses the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM), intended as a powerful method for coordinating the complexity of the multiple, interdisciplinary and conflicting aspects involved in the rehabilitation of buildings. In addition to the advantages in terms of control and management, the BIM process has proven its effectiveness in tackling the issue of sustainability, allowing all actors involved in the research to share information and pro-actively control various outcomes of a building’s performance, such as energy and environmental quality. To show the opportunities and limitations of the digital management in information-based processes, the activities carried out in the framework of the European Horizon 2020 project “Pro-GET-onE—Proactive synergy of inteGrated Efficient Technologies on buildings’ Envelopes” are reported. The research, based on a case study method, which is applied to a student residence in Athens, demonstrates that BIM possesses great potentialities for developing effective and efficient construction and renovation processes toward buildings with high quality standards.

Full textAbstract:
The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is gradually finding its way in virtually every industry; however, beyond adding more sensors and measuring and controlling previously inaccessible domains, it is also about transforming ‘legacy’ approaches to control systems, such as those used in Building Management Systems (BMS), by leveraging on the advantages brought by Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). The purpose of this paper is to address several issues gradually emerging in the process of applying the CPS and IoT paradigms to revolutionise BMS. The results of this on-going research aim to help avoid potential pitfalls and provide a sound platform for taking advantage of the benefits brought by this technology in a feasible, effective and controlled manner. More specifically, the paper will address i) the changing meaning of interoperability in the context of the explosion in the number of IoT devices, ii) the need for guidance in adopting sustainable CPS and IoT platforms supporting BMS, based on appropriate non-functional and viable systems principles, iii) emerging issues in the BMS ‘cloudification’ endeavour and iv) the lack of data sources’ correlation resulting in sub-optimal data quality and detail in using Big Data technologies to enable effective analytics for prompt BMS decision-making.

Full textAbstract:
More and more attention has been paid to hospital facilities since modern pandemics have emerged such as SARS and avian influenza. Energy consumption by buildings accounts for 20-40% of energy use in developed countries, so many global organizations make efforts to develop sustainable technologies or materials to create a sustainable environment, and to reduce energy consumption when renovating building. Therefore, maintaining high standards of hygiene and reducing energy consumption has become the major task for hospital buildings. This study develops an integrated decision support system to assess existing hospital building conditions and to recommend an optimal scheme of sustainable renovation actions, considering trade-offs between renovation cost, improved building quality, and environmental impacts. A hybrid approach that combines the A* graph search algorithm with genetic algorithms (GA) is used to analyze all possible renovation actions and their trade-offs to develop the optimal solution. A simulated hospital renovation project is established to demonstrate the system. The result reveals the system can solve complicated and large-scale combinational, discrete and determinate problems such as the hospital renovation project, and also improve traditional building condition assessment to be more effective and efficient.

Full textAbstract:
With the development of sensor technologies, various application areas have emerged. The usage of these technologies and exploitation of recent improvements have clear benefits on building applications. Such use-cases can improve smart functions of buildings and can increase the end-user comfort. As a similar notion, building automation systems (BAS) are smart systems that target to provide automated management of various control services and to improve resource usage efficiency. However, buildings generally contain hardware and control services from a diverse set of characteristics. The automated and central management of such functions can be challenging. In order to overcome such issues, an Emergency Evacuation Service is proposed for BAS, where requirements of such central management model are analyzed and model content and subservice definitions are prepared. A crucial scenario, which could be a necessity for future BAS, is defined and an approach for evacuation of people in the buildings at emergency situations is proposed. For real-life scenarios, the Evacuation Service is implemented by using a low-cost design, which is appropriate for Internet of Things (IoT) based BAS applications. As demonstrated, the proposed service model can provide effective performance in real-life deployments.

Full textAbstract:
Recent building emergency management research has highlighted the need for the effective utilization of dynamically changing building information. BIM (building information modelling) can play a significant role in this process due to its comprehensive and standardized data format and integrated process. This paper introduces a BIM based virtual environment supported by virtual reality (VR) and a serious game engine to address several key issues for building emergency management, for example, timely two-way information updating and better emergency awareness training. The focus of this paper lies on how to utilize BIM as a comprehensive building information provider to work with virtual reality technologies to build an adaptable immersive serious game environment to provide real-time fire evacuation guidance. The innovation lies on the seamless integration between BIM and a serious game based virtual reality (VR) environment aiming at practical problem solving by leveraging state-of-the-art computing technologies. The system has been tested for its robustness and functionality against the development requirements, and the results showed promising potential to support more effective emergency management.

Eco-friendly building designs that use building information modeling (BIM) have become popular, and a variety of eco-friendly building assessment technologies that take advantage of BIM are being developed. However, existing building environmental performance assessment technologies that use BIM are linked to external assessment tools, and there exist compatibility issues among programs; it requires a considerable amount of time to address these problems, owing to the lack of experts who can operate the programs. This study aims to develop eco-friendly templates for assessing the embodied environmental impact of buildings using BIM authoring tools as part of the development of BIM-based building life cycle assessment (LCA) technologies. Therefore, an embodied environmental impact unit database was developed, for major building materials during production and operating stages, to perform embodied environmental impact assessments. Moreover, a major structural element library that uses the database was developed and a function was created to produce building environmental performance assessment results tables, making it possible to review the eco-friendliness of buildings. A case study analysis was performed to review the feasibility of the environmental performance assessment technologies. The results showed a less than 5% effective error rate in the assessment results that were obtained using the technology developed in this study compared with the assessment results based on the actual calculation and operating stage energy consumption figures, which proves the reliability of the proposed approach.

Defect management (DM) for quality inspection (QI) is a major strategy employed by general contractors to enhance construction management of building projects. However, there are significant issues in construction DM in standard practice that affects quality inspection, including protracted procedures, data entry redundancies, confusion, and inefficient information management. Recognition of these construction DM issues, this paper proposes a new and practical approach that applies Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology to quality inspection and defect management. Specifically, BIM digitally contains precise geometry and relevant data needed to support building structures to describe 3D object-oriented CAD. Using BIM technology, this study proposes a BIM-based Defect Management (BIMDM) system by on-site quality managers during the construction phase. The intended approach integrates web and BIM technologies in the BIMDM system to illustrate and analyze defect information at the jobsite in real time. The anticipated result is the effectively managed status and results of the corrective works performed. The BIMDM system is applied in a selected case study of a building project in Taiwan to verify the proposed approach and demonstrate the effectiveness of defect management practice. Utilizing the BIMDM system, on-site quality managers are better able to track and manage defects with BIM models through accurate records and photos. The combined results of the study demonstrate that a BIMDM-like system can be an effective visual defect management platform when integrating BIM and web technologies. The advantage of the BIMDM system lies not only in improving defect management efficiency for on-site quality engineers and managers, but also in facilitating easy quality inspection while identifying and communicating in the 3D BIM environment. As such, authors expect that effective use of the proposed BIMDM would significantly assist on-site quality engineers and managers to systematically handle defect management work using BIM technologies in future construction projects.

Full textAbstract:
For an effective risk management of complex buildings it is required to dynamically estimate the risk on the service and take proper responsive measures to contrast it. This implies being able to estimate the evolving probabilities of failures over time and the way their occurrence is trust in affecting the service. This is now possible thanks to the advent of new sensing technologies and data-driven models to estimate failure probabilities, as well as solid risk management methodologies to estimate their effect on the service. However, it needs to be considered that the implementation of a dynamic risk management in standard building operation has to consider the reconfiguration of some processes to include the use of enabling technologies. In this paper a new dynamic risk management methodology is proposed to consistently (i) model the service, estimate the risk, first (ii) statically, using fault tree analysis, and then (iii) dynamically, using sensing technologies for data gathering and data-driven models for dynamic probability estimate, and finally (iv) implement the required intervention measures to minimize the risk. Then an application of the methodology is presented, for the risk management of an air handling unit, using a convolutional neural network, and its outcomes discussed. Conclusions are also drawn on the implications of integrating such a methodology in the current whole building risk management process and several outlooks are proposed.

The subject of this work is the effectiveness of apartment building management. The main terms and categories are studied. At this work is studied a modern status of housing industry and economics of Ukraine. At this time the major threats to economics are: dissatis-factory technical condition of a large share of the housing stock of Ukraine, low energy efficiency of apartment buildings, passive attitude of co-owners to effective management and using of common property. There are four types of common property of co-owners apart-ment building and the main forms of their management are defined. In this work studied the existing methods of housing management: Condominium, when the co-owners manage themselves by electing own Management and Chairman, managing of the building by a individual manager or a private management companies, мanagement of municipal management companies. Now in Ukraine has not yet developed a single methodology for assessing the effectiveness of apartment building management, so there are a large number of sci-entific approaches to the formation of such an assessment system. The analysis of economic efficiency and social responsibility should consider that the management system should be aimed at achieving the goals of apartment building management. There main indicators of management efficiency of apartment buildings are: an energy efficiency: issues of technical operation and maintenance and using of energy-saving technologies; environmental indicators: reduction of negative impact on the environment, ensuring the cleanliness of the adjacent territory and improving waste management; social factor: ensuring the rights of co-owners to receive quality services; loyalty of co-owners: their participation in management; communication with state and municipal institutions: participation in local development programs, receiving state support, etc. The choice of methods of avaluation the effectiveness of apartment buildings based on form of condominiums management should be made. There are many differences in the forms of management of an apartment building, which should be counted in the new methodology for assessing the effectiveness of management. Keywords: apartment building, joint property of co-owners, efficiency of apartment building management, apartment building manager.

The present trend in building research is to improve sustainability in building construction and operation. The development of new renewable technologies is essential to improve the sustainability and to reduce emissions. The incorporation of phase change materials in buildings is an effective way to reduce the room temperature fluctuations and cooling loads/heating loads. Although several works have been carried out in this field, a novel phase change material clay hollow-brick composite has been used in this work. This article discusses the research on investigating the thermal performance of phase change material integration in building walls. Two identical test rooms (3 m × 3 m × 3.65 m) were constructed to study the effect of phase change material integration in buildings. The experimental buildings were constructed for the warm and humid weather conditions of Chennai city, India. Phase change material integration in the building wall is beneficial for reduction of room temperature and provides passive cooling of the building. The temperature drop in a phase change material room compared with a non-phase change material room varies from 6°C to 2°C, during various months of the year. DESIGNBUILDER simulation was carried out for phase change material and non-phase change material buildings during the months of January, March, May, and July. The simulated room temperature variation follows the same pattern in these months.

Full textAbstract:
Research on sustainability in the building sector currently focuses mainly on technical solutions while little attention is given to how behaviour influences the uptake of these solutions. Bounded rationality may have a significant impact on the effective implementation of more sustainable technologies that are already available. However, empirical evidence on the effects of bounded rationality in the building sector, such as cognitive biases, is still lacking. Here, we present an empirical investigation of four cognitive biases in the building environment, namely the framing, anchor, default, and decoy effect. For that, energy-related decisions situations were presented to approximately 270 participants in an online survey. Our results show that awareness of greenhouse gas emissions from buildings can be raised through framing that the willingness to pay more for an energy-efficient home can be increased by presenting it as default, and that the choices can be shifted towards more energy-efficient appliances by using a decoy. The hypothesis that anchoring increases the willingness to pay more for the installation of a solar system could not be supported. These findings decrease the lack of empirical data on cognitive biases in the context of buildings and further indicate the potential of choice architecture in the building environment. The influence of cognitive biases in energy-related decisions should be used to increase the adaptation of sustainable technologies.

Full textAbstract:
The seismic assessment of an existing building is often required, possibly due to a change in use, changes in legislation (as recently occurred in New Zealand), for insurance purposes or to permit continued occupancy following a major earthquake. This discussion paper explores three ways in which Building Information Modelling (BIM) could assist in the assessment and mitigation of seismic risk: (i) BIM could provide valuable data on characteristics of both structural and non-structural elements within a building to permit a reliable and holistic seismic risk assessment to be undertaken; (ii) administer a self-diagnosis process utilising damage information received from structural health monitoring technologies prior to and following an earthquake, thus reducing the need for potentially dangerous and time-consuming physical post-earthquake inspections; and (iii) enabling realisation of an emergency management hub within a building management system for implementing control processes to monitor and eventually shutdown damaged mechanical services (e.g. gas pipes) following an earthquake, thus limiting the negative consequences of earthquake induced damage. By providing a leading-edge discussion of these three subjects, with reference to building damage observed in previous earthquakes, important directions for research in BIM are identified that promise to provide a more effective means of seismic risk assessment and mitigation.

Full textAbstract:
At present, an increasing number of researchers and specialists in the construction industry come to the opinion that it is advisable to use a number of technologies (BIM, Smart City, Big Data, IOT and others) in the practice of construction (in the broad sense of this concept), which are united by the concept of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The result of the implementation of these technologies in the construction should be the transition to the widespread use of cyber-physical systems. The problem of using information technologies in construction today is not due to the lack of this process as such, but to the lack of consistency and consistency in it. Fragmentary nature of the application, inconsistency of the applied technologies at different levels of management and at different stages of the life cycle of construction projects sharply reduce the potential positive effect of informatization and building automation. At the same time, the concept of cyber-physical systems, that is, the integration at the system level of physical processes and controls has proven effective in industrial production. The approaches to ensuring the processes of designing cyber-physical building systems through the development and application of General mathematical models for the processes of data exchange and management are considered. The presented models of data exchange and management of cyber-physical building systems describe the processes implemented at each stage of the life cycle of cyber-physical building systems. Functional blocks of the considered models allow to describe the processes of data collection, storage and processing on the current and past stages of the life cycle of cyber-physical construction systems. The presented models are the elements of mathematical support of the processes of designing cyber-physical building systems, which determine the processes of information exchange and management between the structures of cyber-physical building systems of different levels of hierarchy in the full life cycle.

Currently it is a critical situation when every year due to aggressive external factors thousands of listed buildings are under threat of destruction around the world. In many ways, the state of affairs is due to the lack of effective integrated management of listed buildings. Lack of integrated tool for operating of different data, which determines the structural integrity of listed buildings and condition of environment, has led to the fact that most of the regional and municipal authorities are not able to handle the diversity of information. To address these problems specialist of Department of City Planning and Community Development of Rostov State University of Civil Engineering developed the methodology and information-analytical support system of listed buildings’ preservation. This support is able to analyze different types of data and to use different IT technologies such as CAD systems, GIS-technologies and databases. Information technologies in management of listed buildings can help municipalities with a limited budget to get the most out of existing services as these are the technologies that help different departments to work more closely with each other.

The article is devoted to the study of the dialectic of essence and definition of the complex category “technologies of pedagogical management”. The relevance of this study is due to the fact that technology in today’s conditions is the key to effective management of educational institutions. Despite the increased interest of the Ukrainian and foreign scholars in the studied issues, in the scientific and pedagogical literature there is no clarity in formulating the components of the key definition and there is no comprehensive definition of pedagogical management technologies, and hence their classification. Accordingly, there has been a need to identify its elements (“management”, “pedagogical management”, “technology”). In the process of research we used such methods as: inductive, deductive, critical analysis, comparison, grouping, classification, generalization. The article clarifies the definition of the term “management”. It was found that in the scientific and pedagogical literature, it is used in various modifications, the main of which are: “management in education”, “educational management”, “pedagogical management”, “school management”. The most common is “pedagogical management”, which is considered as: the science of management of pedagogical systems; organization of work of specialists of the educational institution for realization of the set purpose in the most effective and rational ways; organization of educational institution activities; educational institution management system; a special kind of skill of the head and managerial competence of a person. We came to the conclusion that the technology of pedagogical management is a set of management tools for the successful implementation of strategic directions of development of an educational institution. This set consists of modern methods and tools of effective management; principles, laws and laws of organization and management; psychological methods of creating a favorable educational environment; methods of positive influence on employees of the institution and students; systematic monitoring of the quality of education; marketing of educational services; anti-crisis strategies; professional reflection. Classification of pedagogical management technologies by the following types has been developed: personnel, team-building, effective management technologies, foresight technologies, marketing and anti-crisis technologies.

The high energy consumption, attached to a high energy demand in buildings, has led the development of several research projects with the target of reducing the energy consumption in the buildings. As a result of this high consumption, the increased CO2 emissions that have been generated in recent years, have reached alarming levels, which is why it is necessary to reduce the environmental impact which we are contributing to our planet through the use of energy. The European Directive on Building Performance (EPBD 2018/844/EU), recently updated, requires new buildings to be close to the Zero Energy Buildings (nZEBs), increasing the use of renewable energies on-site, and also highlight how to get to improve the cost-effective renovation of existing buildings with the introduction of building control and automation systems ( smart systems), as well as the energy savings and increase the efficiency of energy systems, by reducing CO2 emissions. The use of new renewable energy technologies integrated in buildings, with the aim of reducing the consumption of the facilities that all nZEB buildings must have, such as the ventilation system used as an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) control technique. In this study, the energy management of the enthalpy ventilation control system is analysed, where dynamic monitoring is going on in the building controlled through Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA), in combination with different ventilation systems as free-cooling, heat recovery and geothermal energy of an Earth Air Heat eXchanger (EAHX), all of them as strategies implemented in a real nZEB building (LUCIA) located on the campus at the University of Valladolid, with the goal of improving energy efficiency in ventilation. In order to get this aims, monitoring data of several energy parameters (temperature, air velocity, air flow rate, enthalpy, etc.) are measurements, they allow us to perform a control of the combined ventilation systems to achieve a high IAQ and analyze an optimization of the energy efficiency of the all systems and to study of energy recovery and savings of carbon emissions that directly affect the reduction of the impact of climate change. The results achieved are the energy efficiency of the building in ventilation and optimum system operation in cooling and heating mode. In addition, by controlling the ventilation, the IAQ of the nZEB building is improved.

Abstract Innovative technologies help automate the work of the designer. A 3D model of the building can be used to calculate the required values. This will also allow you to create associative sections that, when changing the geometry of the 3D model, automatically adjust the drawn elements on the resulting 2D drawing. Information technologies enable participants from all over the world to work on one project and, thanks to the BIM (building information modelling) method, to design buildings during their life cycle more efficiently. At present, critical studies are published on interoper-ability in BIM and its lack of coordination or amount of information that is misinterpreted, etc. However, working in BIM is the most effective way to use computer technology to design buildings. There is a lot of information about the building in the 3D model itself, which can also be used for purposes other than construction (building management, reconstruction). But how to process a large amount of information in a 3D model? Many buildings already have their 3D models shared on cloud platforms, these contain information that could help, for example, find solutions for green construction using artificial intelligence (AI). We meet with AI every day. It supports internet search engines, predicts auto-completion words as you type. AI can also be found in architecture – not only as visions at exhibitions, but also in research on process optimization in BIM.

In view of the problems such as the basic properties, usage, and location of prefabricated concrete building components, which are easy to be omitted, missed, and difficult to query in the field management, this study introduces building information modeling (BIM) and radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies to visualize the state information of prefabricated concrete components, such as component type, manufacturer, location, and temperature. In the design stage, a new RFID family can be built in the actual model in order to solve the lack of definition of RFID family through the Industry Foundation Class (IFC) standard, and the databases of BIM and RFID can be connected with C# language, realizing the effective integration of the two engineering technologies. In the application stage, through the secondary development of Revit, the information connection between PC terminal and RFID equipment is completed, and the component data collected by RFID tags are transmitted to the BIM model to realize the integration and visualization of prefabricated component state information. In this study, the traceability of prefabricated components of prefabricated concrete buildings can be improved, providing a basis for quality responsibility tracking in the later period, reducing unnecessary waste of human and material resources and helping to maximize economic benefits.

Full textAbstract:
Building management systems are costly for small- to medium-sized buildings. A massive volume of data is collected on different building contexts by the Internet of Things (IoT), which is then further monitored. This intelligence is integrated into building management systems (BMSs) for energy consumption management in a cost-effective manner. Electric fire safety is paramount in buildings, especially in hospitals. Facility managers focus on fire protection strategies and identify where system upgrades are needed to maintain existing technologies. Furthermore, BMSs in hospitals should minimize patient disruption and be immune to nuisance alarms. This paper proposes an intelligent detection technology for electric fires based on multi-information fusion for green buildings. The system model was established by using fuzzy logic reasoning. The extracted multi-information fusion was used to detect the arc fault, which often causes electrical fires in the low-voltage distribution system of green buildings. The reliability of the established multi-information fusion model was verified by simulation. Using fuzzy logic reasoning and the membership function in fuzzy set theory to solve the uncertain relationship between faults and symptoms is a widely applied method. In order to realize the early prediction and precise diagnosis of faults, a fuzzy reasoning system was applied to analyze the arcs causing electrical fires in the lines. In order to accurately identify the fault arcs that easily cause electrical fires in low-voltage distribution systems for building management, this paper introduces in detail a fault identification method based on multi-information fusion, which can consolidate the complementary advantages of different types of judgment. The results demonstrate that the multi-information fusion method reduces the deficiency of a single criterion in fault arc detection and prevents electrical fires in green buildings more comprehensively and accurately. For the real-time dataset, the data results are presented, showing disagreements among the testing methods.

Currently held views and policies commonly suggest that community participation in the development of physical infrastructure is primarily exercised to encourage local ownership and generate local livelihoods. This article draws on the experience of recent primary education building programmes in India using cost-effective construction technologies to observe that the involvement of users in the delivery, maintenance and management of community assets is above all a pre-condition for the fulfilment of the globally agreed development targets. This conceptual distinction provides an experienced reason for any provider to seek an active partnership with the user community and appreciate their grass-roots realities, assets and resources. The article then provides observations from recent fieldwork in India to argue that a realistic mapping of community resources will help to redefine widely accepted development targets for community assets as well as identifying capacity building measures to streamline the delivery and management of community infrastructure.

Geographical Information Science (GIS) is now graduated from traditional desktop system to Internet system. Internet GIS is emerging as one of the most promising technologies for addressing Emergency Management. Web services with different privileges are playing an important role in dissemination of the emergency services to the decision makers. Spatial database is one of the most important components in the successful implementation of Emergency Management. It contains spatial data in the form of raster, vector, linked with non-spatial information. Comprehensive data is required to handle emergency situation in different phases. These database elements comprise core data, hazard specific data, corresponding attribute data, and live data coming from the remote locations. Core data sets are minimum required data including base, thematic, infrastructure layers to handle disasters. Disaster specific information is required to handle a particular disaster situation like flood, cyclone, forest fire, earth quake, land slide, drought. In addition to this Emergency Management require many types of data with spatial and temporal attributes that should be made available to the key players in the right format at right time. The vector database needs to be complemented with required resolution satellite imagery for visualisation and analysis in disaster management. Therefore, the database is interconnected and comprehensive to meet the requirement of an Emergency Management. This kind of integrated, comprehensive and structured database with appropriate information is required to obtain right information at right time for the right people. However, building spatial database for Emergency Management is a challenging task because of the key issues such as availability of data, sharing policies, compatible geospatial standards, data interoperability etc. Therefore, to facilitate using, sharing, and integrating the spatial data, there is a need to define standards to build emergency database systems. These include aspects such as i) data integration procedures namely standard coding scheme, schema, meta data format, spatial format ii) database organisation mechanism covering data management, catalogues, data models iii) database dissemination through a suitable environment, as a standard service for effective service dissemination. <br><br> National Database for Emergency Management (NDEM) is such a comprehensive database for addressing disasters in India at the national level. This paper explains standards for integrating, organising the multi-scale and multi-source data with effective emergency response using customized user interfaces for NDEM. It presents standard procedure for building comprehensive emergency information systems for enabling emergency specific functions through geospatial technologies.

The spread of digital technology around the world is accompanied by the uneven development of digitalization processes on the territory of different countries. Russia is no exception. The problem of digitalization management in the Russian Federation must be solved by building an effective system of its management. In order to implement digitalization management throughout the country, it is necessary, first of all, to establish this process on the territory of federal cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg and Sevastopol. Federal cities have all opportunities for building an effective system of digitalization management which in the future could be applied in other Russia’s regions without any serious failures and significant losses. The review and assessment of trends in the current development of digitalization in Russia’s cities of federal importance, the identification of priority digital technologies and priority areas of digitalization in them, the evaluation of their digital life level indicates the unresolved issues of digitalization management in the cities under consideration. A competent organization of digitalization management in federal cities based on the proposed directions will ensure the successful development of digital transformation processes within their territories, and other Russia’s regions will be able to adopt their experience in the future.

These recommendations should consider best practices in terms of generalcompany control and supervision, the in-depth study of key business processes, management innovations, technologies,and tools to promote new management approaches. A feature of this investigation will be the identification of ideas toensure the best paths towards overcoming psychological barriers that impede the adoption of innovative and novel ideasby management.This article provides a comparative analysis of the classic Anglo-US model of corporate governance (which features therole of boards of directors as the body exercising control and supervision over the company’s activities and its management), with the Russian model. The Russian model is characterised by a structure which nominally replicates thepractice of developed countries, whereby the real power rests with the controlling shareholders and management, withthe boards playing a secondary role by approving the plans of the company activities and their results.Given this situation, the boards of directors of Russian companies should prove their capability to contribute to thecreation of economic value. Examples of essential management areas in which boards of directors should implement thefunction of management development are: strategic planning, creating and improving competitiveness, building up anddeveloping the company’s human capital, risk management, and internal control. This article suggests efficient practicesand tools which can be used by a board of directors for management development.

Natural hazards, and especially earthquakes, are often recurring phenomena. Therefore, there is a permanent need for solutions to reduce earthquake losses by developing technologies, procedures, knowledge, and tools for seismic design and rehabilitation of buildings and infrastructure. A key point to an effective decision making process that aims at mitigating their effects is building a model of the underlying facts. A Geographical Information System (GIS) is a framework able to assemble, keep, process and display specific information, identified by geographical location, which can combine layers of information to give the user a better understanding about that location. By using a Geographical Information System containing geospatial data, one can develop useful scenarios to reduce natural disaster risk and vulnerability of structures. In this paper, we describe a way of applying data mining techniques from the artificial intelligence field to earthquake analysis in order to make a better investigation of the available data. These methods are capable of finding “hidden” correlations among different subsets of data, which cannot be revealed by means of simple statistics.

The combination of building energy management technology and technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution has a significant potential for reducing energy consumption and, hence, CO2 emissions. However, numerous studies have indicated barriers preventing market growth. These challenges are mainly attributed to characteristics of the ecosystem of the building energy management systems (BEMS) industry. Thisstudy aimed to identify the major challenges hindering the deployment of BEMS in combination with Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies and to derive policies conducive to the achievement of the effective BEMS industry ecosystem. An analytic hierarchy process (AHP) survey was conducted on key players in the ecosystem to achieve this. The main elements of the ecosystem, economic, institutional, technology, and social system that earned weight, followed a decreasing trend in this order. Among the sub-elements, the payback period, upfront cost, electricity pricing scheme, energy consumption/CO2 emission reduction, and government support system ranked first to fifth places, respectively. This result can be used to determine the element in need of priority allocation of resources while establishing an effective BEMS. However, the priority depends on the development stage at which the industry is at, and other elements should not be overlooked.

Effective monitoring of worker is one of the crucial elements in accident prevention. With advancement of sensor technologies, real-time tracking research has been conducted for improving effectiveness of monitoring in safety management. However, most of previous studies were limited to outside construction work which normally indicates excavation and heavy equipment operation. This study proposes automatic worker location tracking and risk alert system for effective risk recognition and worker monitoring that integrates smartphone and Building Information Model (BIM). A prototype system has been developed and tested based on small room. The test results show that the system has the potential to reduce labor and time for monitoring and improve the recognition of fall accident risk on the job site in real-time.

Summary Objective: Medical knowledge management and care process management have become to be considered as valuable strategic assets that can lead to sustained increase in Health Care Organization (HCO) performance. Thus, it is essential to investigate which are the enablers for promoting knowledge-based organizations (people, organization, process, and system perspectives). Although they are essential for a HCO to manage knowledge effectively, it is still unclear how to employ them in more principled fashion. This requires innovative management strategies to determine effective ways of utilizing knowledge resources and capabilities available both within and outside the organization. Method: This paper reviews knowledge and process management theories, methods, and technologies that are potentially effective in building high performance HCOs. They come from a variety of fields behind computer science and medical informatics, e.g. from business and organization sciences to psychological and cognitive sciences, from epistemology to sociology. However, the success in developing future Health Information Systems (HIS) requires their incorporation into a new conceptual framework after recognizing how peculiar are the characteristics of HCOs with respect to other organizations. Investigating the nature of knowledge, in general, and of medical knowledge, in particular, is essential to define which services the future HIS should provide to foster collaboration between patients and health professionals. The knowledge creation process is then described in order to emphasize its dynamic and social characteristics. The potential of workflow technology for building innovative HISs is analyzed together with several basic research issues which are very challenging for researchers in the field. Result: A framework for augmenting the conceptual analysis of theories, methods, tools and effects of knowledge management in building high performance HCOs.

In today's economic environment, businesses are forced to operate in a highly competitive, complex and volatile environment. A distinctive feature of the current conditions is also the fact that in addition to the increasing demand for goods and services of high quality among consumers, the demand for innovative products is increasing. Against the background of the continuous development of technologies in various fields, enterprises began to actively introduce them to create innovative products. At the same time, enterprises striving to strengthen their positions in the market faced the problem of constantly reducing the development and production of innovative products while maintaining a high level of quality. It is currently impossible to solve this problem without digitalization of enterprises, which means the introduction of digital technologies not only in production and technology, but also in financial and organizational and managerial areas. From these positions, it seems relevant to develop organizational and management methods aimed at improving the innovative development of the enterprise. The authors of the article presented a model of an innovative QMS, built on the basis of the integration of a quality management system and an innovation management system using a digital platform as a basis for the creation and effective functioning of a modern enterprise. Within the framework of this model, the possibility of applying the process approach to the construction of an innovative QMS was considered, measures for its creation were developed, and an assessment of the planned economic effect from the introduction of an innovative QMS was given.

Green building is deemed an effective means to realize the sustainable development of environment, economy and society in the construction industry. Green building technologies (GBTS) are important to realize green buildings. In order to make the application of GBTS be adopted and popularized effectively, it is especially important for us to gain thorough comprehension of the key problems that affect the adoption of GBTS. The target of this paper is to better understand the adoption of GBTS from the perspective of designers. This article utilizes a questionnaire to investigate Chinese architectural designers. Through establishing a structural equation model and an analysis of the survey data, the key factors influencing the adoption of GBTS by designers in the Design Company were found out. The results denote that the adoption motivation, the capability of GBTS, the knowledge structure and the defects of GBTS are the significant factors that affect designers’ adoption behaviors. However, the management support of GBTS has no significant effect on designers’ adoption behavior. The research results are helpful to improve adoption of GBTS in design units and accelerate the transformation of GBTS achievements. Additionally, they can promote the application of GBTS in the field of construction. Based on the quantitative theoretical model (the structural equation model), this paper finds out the key factors that affect the application of GBTS from the perspective of designers, enriching the theoretical methods of GBTS research and complementing the relevant literature of GBTS research. Future research will analyze the adoption behavior of GBTS from the point of other stakeholders and from the internal level of the design units.
