How artificial intelligence will change the housing retrofit process (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Panakaduwa, C., Coates, P., & Munir, M. (2024). How artificial intelligence will change the housing retrofit process.

The operation of the housing stock in the UK is reported to contribute 18% of the total carbon emissions. The UK is required to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. As 80% of the housing stock of 2050 is already built, retrofitting the existing housin... Read More about How artificial intelligence will change the housing retrofit process.

The BIM maturity process to the digital twin for lean strategic facility management (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Mbabu, A., Underwood, J., & Munir, M. (2023). The BIM maturity process to the digital twin for lean strategic facility management. . https://doi.org/10.35490/EC3.2023.325

Digital twins are increasingly popular in the built environment for addressing unique challenges through tailored use cases. One such application is in decision support and management for strategic facility management. Employing design science resear...

The business value of BIM for asset owners : a cross case analysis (2020)
Journal Article
Munir, M., Kiviniemi, A., Jones, S., & Finnegan, S. (2020). The business value of BIM for asset owners : a cross case analysis. Journal of Facilities Management, 18(5), 469-486. https://doi.org/10.1108/JFM-06-2020-0037

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate and identify the activity systems that drive Building Information Modelling (BIM) business value in Asset Management (AM). The utilisation of BIM has widened in scope, functionality, flexibility... Read More about The business value of BIM for asset owners : a cross case analysis.

BIM business value for asset owners : key issues and challenges (2020)
Journal Article
Munir, M., Kiviniemi, A., Jones, S., & Finnegan, S. (2021). BIM business value for asset owners : key issues and challenges. International Journal of Building Pathology and Adaptation, 39(1), 135-151. https://doi.org/10.1108/IJBPA-10-2019-0090

There is a need to develop the understanding of asset owners concerning the constraints of building information modelling (BIM) implementation, and its subsequent value realisation activities in asset management (AM) cannot be overstated. This is bec... Read More about BIM business value for asset owners : key issues and challenges.

BIM-based operational information requirements for asset owners (2020)
Journal Article
Munir, M., Kiviniemi, A., Jones, S., & Finnegan, S. (2020). BIM-based operational information requirements for asset owners. Architectural Engineering and Design Management, 16(2), 100-114. https://doi.org/10.1080/17452007.2019.1706439

It is widely recognised in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry that asset owners do not really understand their information needs for effective BIM-based Asset Management (AM). Hence, they may be unable to develop their oper... Read More about BIM-based operational information requirements for asset owners.
