Biomimicry and Sustainable Building Performance

This book provides readers with an understanding of various concepts, benefits, and practices that the adoption of Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technolo&gt;gies can bring when working towards sustainable construction goals. As digitalization continues to advance rapidly, the pressures on stakeholders in the architecture, engineering, construction, and operation (AECO) industry to revamp and restructure their activities and outputs become increasingly prev&gt;alent. This research book explains the importance of various digital tools and principles to achieve sustainable construction projects. It adopts various stand&gt;ards and concepts to highlight how 4IR technologies could assist and accelerate construction sustainability. It is the first book to link construction management with various digital tools to enhance construction projects' sustainability. It also provides an in-depth insight into the concept of sustainable construction 4.0 across both developing and developed countries for construction professionals, sustainability experts, researchers, educators, and other stakeholders.The book can be adopted as a research guide, framework, and reference on 
sustainable construction, the concept of sustainable projects, digitalization in the construction industry, and the 4IR.

Sustainable Construction in the Era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution

The purpose of this book is to demonstrate how a Training-Within-Industry (TWI) Job-Program could reduce human factor-related harm in construction. 

The construction industry has a significant impact on issues relating to the health, safety, and well-being (HSW) of people in the workforce. It is important to acknowledge that workers' behaviour influences the safety management system (SMS) of construction projects either negatively or positively and that it is important for a management team to identify relevant behaviours and take appropriate action to solve problems. In most cases, accidents happen because of the results of human failure in the form of errors, violations and system failures. Human failure causes accidents and site management needs to reduce hazards that might cause such errors, violations and system failures on worksites. The chapters in the book address factors causing human failure on construction sites, how to mitigate errors and violations through SMS and 'learning by doing' and improving practice of using safety instructors on sites. The book closes with insights from a TWI-informed human failure reduction framework.

This book provides valuable insights into safety management in a construction site context that can be applied to other areas. It is essential reading for safety managers, construction managers, researchers, and advanced students.

Training-Within-Industry Job Programs for Improved Construction Safety

This book will provide readers with in-depth theoretical awareness and practical guidance on the implementation of an effective monitoring and evaluation (M&amp;E) system to ensure construction projects meet approved quality, cost, time and social sustainability objectives.

An Integrated Approach

Construction Project Monitoring and Evaluation

This book explores the attributes of an integrated model for infrastructure delivery as a means to achieve high impact investing, sustainable growth and development in a developing economy. 

An Integrated Infrastructure Delivery Model for Developing Economies: Planning and Delivery Management Attributes is premised on the understanding that one of the most significant barriers to efficient and effective infrastructure delivery is the nature and extent of fragmentation in the ways in which infrastructure projects are planned, designed, and delivered. Using a Delphi method, the research presented in this book examines the infrastructure delivery models and practices that have been employed in South Africa and other developing countries, and in doing so presents eight attributes for integrated infrastructure delivery. These are: (i) developing a common vision for the community, (ii) stakeholder participation, (iii) integrated project development and scoping, (iv) access to planning information, (v) cross-sectoral planning, (vi) integrated infrastructure master plans, (vii) statutory and regulatory compliance and (viii) integrated contractual frameworks. The book presents a practical model that can serve as a guide and a manual for project planning and development to achieve integrated infrastructure delivery in developing economies. The proposed model should serve as a framework to inform future planning and programming of infrastructure projects within the public sector space. Furthermore, the application of the model will help resolve the problems of fragmentation and lack of coordination in how infrastructure projects are planned and implemented.

This book will be beneficial to infrastructure practitioners, policymakers, researchers and academics who pursue best practice models to improve the delivery and management of infrastructure.

Planning and Delivery Management Attributes

Long-term financial planning and sound governance is essential for maintaining transportation infrastructure and assets. Public-private sector partnerships and cooperation are vital. This book looks at the current state of our infrastructure and ways to better maintain it with environmentally friendly solutions and long-term sustainability and capital planning. It examines transportation modalities and provides case examples and best practices from cities around the world where long-term asset management and local cooperation has worked to maintain and improve critical infrastructure. The authors provide creative solutions that can be implemented now for maintenance, stability, and even growth.

A Sustainable Approach to Maintain Critical Infrastructure

Transportation and Strategic Asset Management

Climate change-possibly the most pressing and difficult problem facing life on earth today-raises a series of questions that are fundamentally philosophical in nature. Some are: --Is skeptcism about climate change warranted? --Why does scientific consensus about global warming matter? --Who should pay-those who are causing the most damage or those who will bear the greatest burden-to mitigate the effects of climate change? Scientists and policy makers who grapple with these questions need the insights and contexts a philosophical analysis offers. And students and researchers in philosophy need to better know the scientific literature and political issues before offering ethical and philosophical commentary. With formal graduate training in the study of atmospheric science, a Ph.D. in philosophy, and a publication and teaching record that bridges the two areas, Wendy Parker adroitly addresses these and similar questions in, Understanding Climate Change: Science, Philosophy, and Policy. The book brings together a body of scattered research on these issues, but also breaks new ground, providing for a wide range of students and researchers a firmer footing on which to understand fully the scientific and policy issues related to climate change. The book is the first of its kind: a synoptic and coherent account-written for students and scholars in the humanities and the sciences--of the most salient philosophical issues related to our changing global climate.

Science, Ethics, and Policy

Understanding Climate Change

Based on practical field experience and several case studies, this book presents state-of-the-art artificial intelligence techniques, validating their efficiency and accuracy in real-world industrial applications. The authors show how a meta-heuristic approach can enhance automatic fault monitoring in man-made systems. For each phase of fault monitoring, they propose a meta-heuristic approach that is tested experimentally in an actual industrial environment. While the proposed methods are validated on specific industrial problems, their applicability is wide and general.
