eWork and eBusiness in Architecture, Engineering and Construction: ECPPM 201

Book Preface

In the last two decades, the biannual ECPPM (European Conference on Product and Process Modelling) confer-ence series has provided a unique platform for the presentation and discussion of the most recent advances withregard to the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) applications in the AEC/FM (Architecture,Engineering, Construction and Facilities Management) domains.Product and Process Modelling is fundamental in facilitating ICT based solutions in the design. The resulting book of proceedings includes a substantial number of high-quality contributions that cover a large spectrum of topics pertaining to ICT deployment instances inAEC/FM, including: 

– BIM (Building Information Modelling) 

– ICT in Civil engineering & Infrastructure 

– Human requirements & factors 

– Computational decision support 

– Commissioning, monitoring & occupancy 

– Energy & management 

– Ontology, data models, and IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) 

– Energy modelling 

– Thermal performance simulation 

– Sustainable buildings 

– Micro climate modelling 

– Model calibration 

– Project & construction management 

– Data & information management
