Buildings and infrastructure represent principal assets of any
national economy as well as prime sources of environmental
degradation. Making them more sustainable represents a key
challenge for the construction, planning and design industries and
governments at all levels; and the rapid urbanisation of the 21st
century has turned this into a global challenge. This book embodies
the results of a major research programme by members of the
Australia Co-operative Research Centre for Construction Innovation
and its global partners, presented for an international audience of
construction researchers, senior professionals and advanced
students. It covers four themes, applied to regeneration as well as
to new build, and within the overall theme of Innovation:
Sustainable Materials and Manufactures, focusing on building
material products, their manufacture and assembly - and the
reduction of their ecological 'fingerprints', the extension of
their service lives, and their re-use and recyclability. It also
explores the prospects for applying the principles of the assembly
line. Virtual Design, Construction and Management, viewed as
increasing sustainable development through automation, enhanced
collaboration (such as virtual design teams), real time BL
performance assessment during design, simulation of the
construction process, life-cycle management of project information
(zero information loss) risk minimisation, and increased potential
for innovation and value adding. Integrating Design, Construction
and Facility Management over the Project Life Cycle, by converging
ICT, design science engineering and sustainability science.
Integration across spatial scales, enabling building-infrastructure
synergies (such as water and energy efficiency). Convergences
between IT and design and operational processes are also viewed as
a key platform increased sustainability.
