Buildings

• They are very expansive and impactingobjects, that realize complex (social and cultural/environmental/economical) assets.

• Their value has not been always – in ourCountry at least – RELATED to their quality(ability to satisfy needs) nor to theiroperational costs.

• Physical (anticipated=pathology or natural=predictable)

• Technological/social/legal

– Natural and human induced Hazards (singularevents)

– User-building interaction (services and movingcomponents)

• Risks in maintenance/transformation/disposalworks: (as construction works)

Research (CIB W086) topics?

ARGUMENT: enhancement of Construction Productsperformances and cost reduction.

OK but it seems not to be the argument with the highestprogress potential

Research (CIB W086) topics?

ARGUMENT: enhancement of Construction/Project management practice:

– Design Brief efficacy and design management

– Validation of design choices

– Design/Project Control support tools

– Clashing detection (typical: HVAC-Structural-Architecture conflicts + work layout conflicts)

– …

– On site workmanship Automation

– Monitoring and commissioning

Research (CIB W086) topics?

RESEARCH:

– More and more sophisticated tools to model the realbehaviour of a building and its interaction with users(comfort, safety, security, also in emergency cases, operation costs and impacts, productivity …)

– Project Information management

– Use of Big Data (from single projects and actual builtenvironment) to generate strategic vision

– 3D printing in construction

– Remote sensing and low cost monitoring tools

Research (CIB W086) topics?

RESEARCH – The main research topics for construction industryaim to minimize its cost and are related to information man.:

– The management of informations about the built asset and its management process

– Finding a solution in order to minimize the cost to make ourbuilt asset to cost less:

• Less environmental impact from its operation

• Less damages from natural/human hazards

• Less loss of heritage in the necessary transformation of the built environment

– Helping Insurance companies in managing the risk they can cover in their contracts
