A survey of environmental performance enhancement strategies and building data capturing techniques in the Nigerian context (2023)
Journal Article
Nigerian context. Buildings, 13(2), 452. https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings13020452

Abstract: The need to improve the performance of Nigeria’s office buildings is due to, energy challenges, increasing population, changing user needs, and climate change. With the expansion of
several Nigerian cities, existing buildings constitute a... Read More about A survey of environmental performance enhancement strategies and building data capturing techniques in the Nigerian context.

Development of a framework to support embedding BIM within undergraduate architectural programmes in Lebanon (2021)
Thesis
Rachid, A. Development of a framework to support embedding BIM within undergraduate architectural programmes in Lebanon. (Thesis). University of Salford

The increasing needs and demands of humans have at all times been translated into changes and evolution. And with the rise of huge and complex projects, the AEC industry has adopted systems and technologies that promote the fast delivery of the marke...

A conceptual framework for sharing knowledge and information between facility management/operations and building design teams (2021)
Thesis
Long, P. A conceptual framework for sharing knowledge and information between facility management/operations and building design teams. (Thesis). University of Salford

It is generally accepted that decisions made in early design phases significantly impact the quality of a built project. However, much of the information necessary to assess the validity of early design decisions is not available until later in a pro...

A framework to enhance the adoption of building information modelling amongst Sri Lankan quantity surveying organisations to increase the accuracy of pre-tender cost estimates (2021)
Thesis
Rathnayake, A. A framework to enhance the adoption of building information modelling amongst Sri Lankan quantity surveying organisations to increase the accuracy of pre-tender cost estimates. (Thesis). University of Salford

For decades, construction projects around the globe have been suffered to complete on budget due to ongoing cost overruns. Accordingly, both developed and developing countries have reported a number of construction projects that have resulted in incr...

Using BIM to achieve Architectural Engineering undergraduate learning outcomes (2020)
Journal Article
learning outcomes. AMPS proceedings series, 17.2, 22-37

Building Information Modelling is a process integrating 3D graphics and data. It is being adopted into the AECOO industries and by default into the delivery of undergraduate Architectural Programs. This object approach offers a range of benefits over... Read More about Using BIM to achieve Architectural Engineering undergraduate learning outcomes.

Smart processes for smart buildings : ‘sustainable processes’, ‘recyclable processes’ and ‘building seeds’ in parametric design (2019)
Journal Article
Haidar, A., Underwood, J., & Coates, P. (2019). Smart processes for smart buildings : ‘sustainable processes’, ‘recyclable processes’ and ‘building seeds’ in parametric design. Architectural Engineering and Design Management, 15(5), 402-429. https://doi.org/10.1080/17452007.2018.1564645

The rapid evolution of digital technologies and the resulting emergence of novel design methodologies are coinciding with climate change, population growth and increased pressure on global resources. This concurrence evokes opportunities to harness t... Read More about Smart processes for smart buildings : ‘sustainable processes’, ‘recyclable processes’ and ‘building seeds’ in parametric design.
