Necessary and unnecessary complexity in construction (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Pannanen, A., & Koskela, L. (2005, September). Necessary and unnecessary complexity in construction. Presented at The 1st International Conference on Built Environment Complexity, Liverpool UK

The nature of complexity varies as construction progresses. This paper presents concepts and practices with which project (knowledge) management must foster complexity when it is necessary and dampen complexity when it is unnecessary in order to gene...

Atrium-assisted natural ventilation of multi-storey buildings (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Ji, Y., & Cook, M. (2005, September). Atrium-assisted natural ventilation of multi-storey buildings. Presented at The 10th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality and Climate, Beijing, China

Buoyancy-driven displacement natural ventilation in a simple multi-storey building structure is investigated. The storeys are connected to a common atrium and top-down-chimneys, and the internal heat gains of the storeys are represented by localise...

CFD modelling of buoyancy-driven natural ventilation opposed by wind (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Cook, M., Ji, Y., & Hunt, G. (2005, August). CFD modelling of buoyancy-driven natural ventilation opposed by wind. Presented at The 9th International IBPSA Conference, Montreal, Canada

This paper presents CFD simulations of natural displacement ventilation airflows in which the buoyancy force produced by a heat source is opposed by a wind force. Cases investigated focus on windbuoyancy force relationships for which a two-layer stra... Read More about CFD modelling of buoyancy-driven natural ventilation opposed by wind.

A fuzzy trust model for e-commerce (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Nefti-Meziani, S., Meziane, F., & Kasiran, M. (2005, July). A fuzzy trust model for e-commerce. Presented at 7th International IEEE Conference on E-Commerce Technology, Munich, Germany

It is argued that E-commerce has not reached its full potential and trust was often cited as the main reason why many customers are still skeptical about some online vendors. Many trust models have been developed, but most are subjective and did not... Read More about A fuzzy trust model for e-commerce.

Revisiting the three peculiarities of production in construction (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Vrijhoef, R., & Koskela, L. (2005, July). Revisiting the three peculiarities of production in construction. Presented at 13th International Group for Lean Construction Conference., Sydney, Australia

Compared to many other industries, construction is a specific type of project industry with certain peculiarities influencing the characteristics of constructed products, ways of production, and the industry itself. Previously three major peculiarit... Read More about Revisiting the three peculiarities of production in construction.
