The green accommodation sectors are increasingly committed to implementing environmental management practices while enhancing guests’ pro-environmental behaviour. However, it is not easy to change tourists’ behaviour as there are many factors influencing tourists’ participation in green management actions. This paper argues that a combination of multiple factors such as visitor characteristics or previous environmental experience needs to be examined to determine how these factors are differently associated with the type of pro-environmental behaviour. In particular, this study also investigates how environmentally responsible tourist markets can engage differently in different types of pro-environmental behaviour. Visitors staying at the green accommodation in Kangaroo Island, South Australia, were studied using self-administered questionnaires. The findings of this study confirmed the significant role of environmentally responsible travel experience as a strong predictor of two types of pro-environmental behaviour (e.g., energy-saving and recycling vs. eco-product consumption behaviour) and its moderating effects on the relationship between visitor characteristics and pro-environmental behaviours (PEBs). Furthermore, this environmental-responsibility-based segmentation approach provides green-oriented accommodation sectors with some managerial implications for improving green accommodation practices that can be operated on different principles for two different targeted markets based on their environmental responsibility. This study recommends that more in-depth investigations of other barriers or facilitators of pro-environmental behaviour are necessary to fully address this issue and to ultimately influence tourists’ responsible support for environmental management practices implemented by the green accommodation sector.

While the Circular Economy in the built environment is often viewed in terms of recycling, more value can be obtained from buildings and physical components by their reuse, aided by stewardship and remanufacture, to ensure optimum performance capability. The use of cyber-physical information for online identification, examination and exchange of reusable components may improve their life-cycle management and circularity. To this end, a bi-directional data exchange system is established between physical building components and their virtual Building Information Modeling (BIM) counterparts, so that their life-cycle information—including history of ownership, maintenance record, technical specifications and physical condition—can be tracked, monitored and managed. The resultant prototype Cloud-based BIM platform is then adapted to support an ongoing product-service relationship between suppliers/providers and users/clients. A case study from a major new hospital, focusing upon an example of internal framed glazed systems, is presented for ”proof of concept” and to demonstrate the application of the proposed method. The result of the case study shows that, informed by the life-cycle data from the Cloud-BIM platform, a “lease with reuse” service option is able to deliver a lower total cost and less carbon intensity for each unit of frame-glazed module. This leads to a higher level of eco-efficiency, coupled with decreased consumption of material resources and reduced generation of waste. The research is expected to serve as a step forward in the era of Industry 4.0 and illuminate a more sophisticated way to manage building assets.

Although they offer major advantages, smart cities present unprecedented risks and challenges. There are abundant discrete studies on risks related to smart cities; however, such risks have not been thoroughly understood to date. This paper is a systematic review that aims to identify the origin, trends, and categories of risks from previous studies on smart cities. This review includes 85 related articles published between 2000 and 2019. Through a thematic analysis, smart city risks were categorized into three main themes: organizational, social, and technological. The risks within the intersections of these themes were also grouped into (1) digital transformation, (2) socio-technical, and (3) corporate social responsibility. The results revealed that risk is a comparatively new topic in smart-city research and that little focus has been given to social risks. The findings indicated that studies from countries with a long history of smart cities tend to place greater emphasis on social risks. This study highlights the significance of smart city risks for researchers and practitioners, providing a solid direction for future smart-city research.

Despite the advancements in digital technologies, the current building design examination practice is 2D and paper-based, and a large number of 2D plans and drawings need to be collated and interpreted to examine if the proposed designs comply with building regulations. Subsequently, it is prone to human errors that make sustainable and consistent design difficult. Although Building Information Modelling (BIM) is recognised as a means to transform the current practice into a more sustainable and productive practice, BIM has rarely been adopted in building design examination. This research aims to identify the reasons for the low uptake of BIM and to examine the feasibility of BIM for building design examination through a focus group interview and workshop. A lack of proper BIM training is identified as the most critical barrier to adopting BIM. Building design examiners indicate that BIM adoption requires consistent efforts with empirical errors, since the existing work processes are not flexible enough to embrace BIM instantly without proper BIM training. An average of three days can be saved by using BIM for a building regulations check. This research revealed that BIM is feasible for building regulation checking, and the low uptake is mainly caused by a lack of awareness of the BIM capabilities.

This paper expands upon ‘cradle to cradle carpets and cities’ presented by Ness and Field (Cradle to cradle carpets and cities. In Proceedings of SASBE 03, Brisbane, 2003) at SASBE 03, where the notion of providing modular carpets as a service was introduced, and a paper at SASBE 06, where the theme of providing C2C products as a service was further developed by Ness and Pullen (Decoupling resource consumption from growth: new business model towards a sustainable built environment in China. In: Proceedings of SASBE 06, Shanghai, 2006). It reports on the outcomes of an ARUP Global Research Challenge Project 2017, undertaken by University of South Australia, ARUP, Prismatic Architectural Research and other partners, under the theme of adapting the circular economy to the built environment. The project addresses the challenge of reusing building components, so they deliver more value over their extended life-cycle, with consequent reductions in resource consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, pollution and waste, coupled with creation of new enterprises and jobs. A universally accessible ‘Cloud-based building information management platform’ is being developed, which enables components to be identified, reclaimed reused and exchanged multiple times over their lifecycle, within the same or different facilities. A cyber-physical information exchange system was established between physical building components and their virtual counterparts, known as Building Information Models, so that their life cycle information including history of ownership, condition, maintenance history, technical specifications and physical performance could be tracked, monitored and managed. In addition, designers could identify reused components via the cloud platform, and assess their suitability for incorporation in building projects when compared with new products. This research was complemented by an innovative business model, whereby components and products can be provided as a service, with producers retaining responsibility for their repair, remanufacturing and/or reuse over their life cycle. The methodology involved establishing a Cyber-Physical System by connecting a series of existing technologies, including Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Building Information Modelling (BIM). Using a case study of a section of a major new hospital for ‘proof of concept’, information on the history, location, properties and performance of physical components could be exchanged in real-time from RFID tags to a local BIM system and thence to the cloud platform. Complemented by interviews within Australia and Europe with key stakeholders including designers, project managers, manufacturers, owners, investors and facility managers, the research led to the development of a ‘products as service’ business model and associated business case for the new paradigm. In short, a self-populating relational database that can execute predefined multiple/ conditional ownership exchange via a graphical user interface and/or web site front end. The findings are expected to drive increased reuse, adaptation and life-cycle stewardship within the building industry, whereby more value can be derived from built resources, new business opportunities created in the service sector, and adverse environmental impacts reduced. This is consistent with the pursuit of a ‘circular economy’, where the construction and management of the built environment can exert a major influence.

The construction industry is currently struggling due to the ever-increasing complexity of a building and the highly fragmented nature of the construction industry. In response to the current problems, building information modelling (BIM) has been adopted to improve productivity and deliver a quality building to a client. The academia also has been striving to embed BIM education into the exiting curriculum to accommodate the needs of the construction industry. However, BIM is currently taught as a simple design tool rather than a methodology to improve productivity in construction projects. Although there have been various attempts to integrate BIM courses into the existing curriculum, a lack of research has been conducted regarding how BIM adoption and implementation strategy should be utilized for a BIM integrated curriculum. Thus, this chapter will provide insights for updating and developing BIM courses.

The paper outlines the development of a prototype cyber-physical data exchange system that connects RFID, BIM and the Cloud-based data platform by which reusable building components may be identified, tracked and managed. The digital platform is then adapted to support an ongoing Product-Service System (PSS) relationship between suppliers/providers and users/clients. This enables advanced services for reuse of building components at the highest value and with mutual benefits. Via an integration of the ICT-based data management and PSS, the types of life cycle, performance, cost and other data required for service relationships can be identified so that suppliers may manage building components over their extended life, retain their optimum value and find new profit centres. Clients can be assured that the quality and performance of reused components meet required service expectations, coupled with savings in cost and carbon. An example of internal glazed system is presented to demonstrate the application of the proposed method.

Despite the importance of proper risk management during the construction execution stage, the current studies mainly focus on risk management at the planning stage. In order to effectively manage risks and accomplish a project success, it is instrumental to manage and mitigate risks at the execution stage where the most of risks are actually occurred. Hence, this research aims to identify the most critical success factors for effective risk management at the execution stage of a construction project. A mixed method was adopted to identify the priorities among various success factors for risk management through a questionnaire survey, and follow-up interviews were conducted to retrieve more insights and lessons learnt from construction professionals. Total 55 construction professionals responded that a) Project management capacity; b) knowledge and experience; c) early involvement of contractors and d) socio-cultural forces are the most critical success factors for successful risk management during the execution stage. This research identified the critical success factors and its relative importance expected to provide a means for the construction professionals to prioritise critical success factors for risk management at the execution stage, and it will serve a risk management supporting tool to make a proper plan and decision on risks.

Water supply has drastically declined particularly in parts of Australia. This is a consequence of climate change, urban development, wastage and rising demand for fresh water. These factors along with escalating water rates have significantly contributed to water scarcity, and cost effectiveness becoming paramount in the residential sector. Utilizing sustainable alternatives, such as water efficient showerheads, aerated faucets, dual flush/waterless toilets, water conserving dishwashers and steam washing machines opposed to standard devices, has the ability to optimize water efficiency and reduce living expenses, while helping conserve this natural resource. This research investigates if the sustainable alternative can optimize water efficiency and cost effectiveness in residential dwellings. The cities which have been investigated are Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Darwin. Water price data from 2001 to 2010 have been examined for each of these cities. Future water prices can than predicted based on the current increase rate. Average water consumption and duration of usage outlined in the Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards Scheme (WELS) have been used in all calculations. Water consumption, life cycle cost and payback periods are compared between standard and innovative devices over a 15-year period. Results are contrasted to literature, respective city and number of occupants. All alternative devices studied in the water consumption comparison, made significant savings over the 15-year period. It is found that all cities examined experience positive savings between $7,295 and $28,785 over 15 years if all devices are used together for a single occupant. It can also be noted that the city of Adelaide achieves the greatest savings while Perth accomplishes the least, due to comparatively low water price. Technological advancements in the future will improve fixtures and appliances used in dwellings maximizing overall water and cost efficiency, while minimizing the impacts on natural resources.

Life-cycle assessment (LCA) is recommended to determine the most environmentally responsible housing refurbishment solution among various design and material alternatives. Despite of proven capability and usefulness of LCA, it is limitedly adopted and used in the construction industry due to a lack of proper LCA datasets and a tool to effectively utilise LCA method. This research conducts the LCA studies for whole-house fabric refurbishment based on different energy standards using building information modelling (BIM) as a tool to formulate LCA and refurbishment alternatives through a case study with BIM simulation. This research reveals the trade-off relationship between LCA and life-cycle cost (LCC) and identifies that BIM is a feasible information management platform for housing refurbishment. Yet, the data exchanges and unstandardized specification for construction materials in a BIM object are recognized as the major challenges for BIM adoption. This research will contribute to enable researchers and practitioners to fully understand the implication of the LCA and LCC for housing refurbishment. Also, this research will provide insight to researchers regarding the implication of BIM adoption for housing refurbishment.

Purpose The aim of this research is to examine if building information modelling (BIM) is feasible as an information management platform to determine a financially and environmentally affordable housing refurbishment solution based on the life cycle cost (LCC) and LCC calculation. Design/methodology/approach A case study in conjunction with BIM simulation approach using BIM tools (Autodesk Revit and IES VE/IMPACT) was adopted to identify the feasibility of BIM for the simultaneous formulation of LCC and life cycle assessment in housing refurbishment. Findings This research reveals that BIM is a suitable for the information management platform to enable construction professionals to consider trade-off relationship between LCC and life cycle assessment simultaneously, and determine the most financially and environmentally affordable refurbishment solution. The interoperability issues in data exchange among different BIM tools and unstandardized BIM object libraries with incomplete data sets of construction materials are recognised as the major shortcomings in a BIM system. Essential remedial actions to overcome the shortcomings in the current BIM tools are identified. Research limitations/implications Actual housing information and various refurbishment materials for the BIM simulation are limited. Practical implications This research contributes to supporting construction professionals to prepare practical BIM adoption for the integration of the LCC and life cycle assessment that can significantly improve early decision-makings on sustainable housing refurbishment. Originality/value This research will contribute to providing proper remedial actions to overcome the shortcomings in the current BIM tools, and insights for construction professionals to understand the implication of BIM-embedded housing refurbishment.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to identify building information modelling (BIM) input data sets within a BIM-embedded housing refurbishment process and enable construction professionals to use BIM as an information management platform for housing refurbishment projects. Design/methodology/approach A hypothetical case study using BIM tools for a housing refurbishment project is adopted to identify BIM input data sets to create a housing information model within a BIM system. Reliability of the research outcome is examined by conducting a comparative analysis between existing and simulated research outcomes. Findings This research identifies essential BIM input data sets during the early design phase. The importance of a well-integrated housing information model containing accurate as-built condition, cost and thermal performance information is essential to use BIM for housing refurbishment. BIM can be feasible for housing refurbishment when an information-enriched housing information model is constructed. Furthermore, the capability of BIM that can enable key project stakeholders to determine the most affordable refurbishment solution among various alternatives is identified as BIM can provide reliable cost estimations and thermal performance of refurbishment alternatives at the early design stage. Research limitations/implications The examined refurbishment processes and input data sets are confined to the early design phases as BIM use for housing refurbishment is limited. Practical implications This research will contribute to use BIM for housing refurbishment by providing essential BIM input data sets and BIM-embedded refurbishment processes. Originality/value This research reveals primary housing information data sets and BIM-embedded refurbishment processes at the early design phase.

Exploring Capabilities of BIM Tools for Housing Refurbishment in the UK BIM;Housing Refurbishment;Life Cycle Cost;Life Cycle Assessment; Currently whole-house refurbishment for substantial energy efficiency improvement of existing housing stock is needed to achieve the targeted 80% CO2 emission reduction. As whole-house refurbishment requires a larger capital investment for lower CO2 emission, the simultaneous use of Life Cycle Costing (LCC) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies are recommended to generate affordable refurbishment solutions. However, two methodologies are difficult to use due to a lack of proper LCC and LCA datasets. As a response to the current problems, many researchers explore potentials in Building Information Modelling (BIM) to improve current construction practice. As a result, a BIM tool - IES IMPACT (Integrated Material Profile And Costing Tool) - has been introduced to the UK construction industry for simultaneous calculation of LCC and LCA. Thus, this research aims at examining the capability and limitation of the IES VE/IMPACT as a BIM tool for whole-house refurbishment. This research reveals that the IES VE/IMPACT is feasible for whole-house refurbishment by providing LCC and LCA information simultaneously for informed decision on refurbishment solution selection. This research shed lights on the current problems lying on the data exchange between two different BIM tools. It is revealed that additional efforts from construction professionals and industry are required to make reliable BIM objects library with LCC and LCA datasets.

The purpose of this paper is to identify primary housing information data set to make an informed decision for key stakeholders to determine the most cost effective refurbishment solution among various alternatives in a building information modelling (BIM) system. A building simulation approach in conjunction with a hypothetical case study using BIM software (Autodesk Revit) was adopted to identify primary housing information data set and to examine how housing information data set is processed within a BIM system. Housing information data set such as physical dimensions, energy performance, associated costs, risk level, weather data and other relevant data should be prepared at the outset of a project to determine the most cost effective refurbishment solution. Furthermore, BIM can enable both clients and construction professionals to make informed decisions about diverse climate risk resistant options by providing reliable cost estimations of them at the early design stage. Actual housing information for the BIM simulation is limited, and as a result, hypothetical housing information based on the UK Government data were used instead. This research will provide essential housing information data set to utilize BIM effectively and efficiently for refurbishing climate risk vulnerable housing. This research explores possibility to utilize BIM for climate risk mitigation in the housing sector, and reveals primary housing information data set for BIM to develop a climate resistant housing refurbishment solution.

Construction customers are persistently seeking to achieve sustainability and maximize value as sustainability has become a major consideration in the construction industry. In particular, it is essential to refurbish a whole house to achieve the sustainability agenda of 80% CO2 reduction by 2050 as the housing sector accounts for 28% of the total UK CO2 emission. However, whole house refurbishment seems to be challenging due to the highly fragmented nature of construction practice, which makes the integration of diverse information throughout the project lifecycle difficult. Consequently, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore in order to manage construction projects in a collaborative manner, although the current uptake of the housing sector is low at 25%. This research aims to investigate homeowners’ decision making factors for housing refurbishment projects and to provide a valuable dataset as an essential input to BIM for such projects. One-hundred and twelve homeowners and 39 construction professionals involved in UK housing refurbishment were surveyed. It was revealed that homeowners value initial cost more while construction professionals value thermal performance. The results supported that homeowners and professionals both considered the first priority to be roof refurbishment. This research revealed that BIM requires a proper BIM dataset and objects for housing refurbishment.
