Abstract The study aimes at identification of the difficulties in choosing the correct concept of the main building process. The use of a proper BIM design may help the user avoid mistakes and make the building process faster as well as less financial resource intensive. The authors focused on literature review, analysing the difficulties of the BIM design software technology in construction project planning. The biggest flaws in BIM design are inherent in three building process stages: 1) the preparation of a building investment project, and the analysis of the existing situation; 2) the preparation of the building execution technology project; 3) the existing standard processing and information collection in building exploitation period. The analysis shows a persistent need for a deeper BIM design research, to improve information interchange formats that would ensure as much design information saved as possible with ensured feedback. As well as in BIM design, the software packages must be improved by supplementing them with deficient tools or programme codes. After the research of BIM design software, it was determined that architectural, constructional and MEP programs work best interdependently and get analysed the most. These programs work best as they make the least number of mistakes when the model is created in one setting and has many tools. This type of design software data is kept internally, and they are converted into IFC or other information interchange format. Without changing the format, the data is not lost, and this is the reason behind fluent information interchange.

AbstractMuch of the work in design research focusses on the development of methods and tools to support engineering designers. Many of these tools are nowadays implemented in software. Due to the strongly growing use of computers and smart devices in the last two decades, the expectations of users increased dramatically. In particular users expect good usability, for example little effort for learning to apply the software. Therefore, the usability evaluation of design software tools is crucial. A software tool with bad usability will not be used in industrial practice. Recommendations for usability evaluation of software often stem from the field of Human Computer Interaction. The aim of this paper is to tailor these general approaches to the specific needs of engineering design. In addition, we propose a method to analyse the results of the evaluation and to derive suggestions for improving the design software tool. We apply the usability evaluation method on a use case - the KoMBi software tool for bio-inspired design. The case study provides additional insights with regards to problem, causes and improvement categories.

Administrative Proceedings

The article discusses possible effects on the success of an investment project when rights of the public concerned have been infringed during construction planning. The administrative proceedings defending the rights of the public concerned infringed during territorial planning have been analysed for that purpose. For any construction project, judicial dispute is an undesirable risk factor and can disrupt the entire project. The article, therefore, looks into an actual dispute that reached the court and took place between an investor and the public concerned. The negative effects of this judicial dispute, both on the investor and the public concerned, have been determined. The investor's blunders that prevented any chance of escaping the judicial dispute and led to several years of litigation have been also determined. The article looks into the behaviour of disputing parties at various stages of the judicial dispute. Based on the research, a conceptual model was crafted to enable analysis of formal model behaviour in future studies and to build a complex system that would facilitate any construction project with planning and application of preventive measures that would mitigate the risk of a judicial dispute as early as during the first project planning stage.

In response to the increasing number of young adults with intellectual and development disability (IDD) in inclusive postsecondary settings, a wearable technology application was designed to support students’ learning, participation, and independence. This article describes the design research process leading to the development of the technology prototype. An app for a smart watch has been conceptualized, designed, and refined following the two initial phases of the Integrative Learning Design Framework (ILDF; Bannan-Ritland, 2003). The design principles that emerged from the study include multiple prompting and reward systems to encourage students’ self-regulation and positive behaviors. The findings identify ways wearable technology can support young adults with IDDs in inclusive college courses without overreliance on the support staff. Having major stakeholders involved in the design research process from the very beginning resulted in high levels of acceptance of the developed technology-based intervention prototype by the target population and by the support staff members. Plans for the next two phases of the ILDF, which are beyond the scope of this publication, are discussed.

Abstract The building sector is responsible for approximately 40 % of the energy consumption and carbon emissions worldwide. Buildings of the future will have to comply not only with stricter energy regulations, but they will also have to face changing climate challenges. To increase the level of interdisciplinary knowledge and to develop and test innovative technology with users, new types of adaptive research facilities are needed. The development of the ZEB Laboratory replies to this need. Developing the building as a research tool has made us focus on 1) a flexible laboratory for tomorrow building design research and 2) making the building itself a climate adapted zero emission building. The laboratory building is realised following the Norwegian ZEB-COM ambition. The development of this research tool has called for an iterative approach with use of partnering and collaborative elements for planning and production. Connected challenges related to e.g. research facility needs, building process, building physics, flexibility of use, energy supply and indoor environment had to be solved through iterations and co-creation processes. This paper presents a modern research tool for climate adaptation and mitigation measures for buildings including stormwater management at site and assesses the development and building process of the laboratory.

Project Portfolios

The complicatedness in conducting software development derives from the probabilistic assessment of future conditions or unclear requirements and project implications. Information technology project portfolio management is more complex and presents program managers with the challenge of dynamic decision-making in the context of target revisions and project selection (continuation of active projects at various budgeting levels, termination of other active projects and launching new projects). The authors propose a simulation-based decision support system for managing information technology project portfolios. At each control (decision) point, this data support system enables ’optimizing’ each project planning subject to alternative determinations of time and cost chance constraints, and evaluating the up-to-date chance of alternative project selections being within the project portfolio budget. These ’optimizations’ and evaluations are provided by a stochastic procedure based on Monte Carlo simulations. In contrast with deterministic procedures that are highly inadequate since they mostly provide erroneous results, the stochastic procedure is appropriate since it analyses a higher level of information and provides more accurate results. The proposed system enables the program manager to decipher highly complex simulation results and make decisions based on up-to-date data. It can be easily implemented even by non-experts.
