“…This is not surprising since, by choosing the apprenticeship route, they had chosen to leave the more academic environment of post-16 schooling. The findings about methods of training support Mowlam et al (2010) and Goedert et al (2011), who found a preference among young learners for interactive and innovative learning methods.…”

“…Recent literature highlights the need to embrace new ways of learning, actively engaging the learner (DeshPande and Huang, 2011;Goedert et al, 2011;Mawdesley et al, 2011). Goedert et al (2011) argue that simulation-based learning addresses the fundamental need to reinvigorate training methods and approaches in construction, which 'have changed little in over a century'.…”

“…Many education experts emphasise the way that knowledge is socially situated, particularly the role that activity, participation and experience play in learning (Abdulwahed and Nagy, 2009;Goedert et al, 2011;Pasin and Giroux, 2011;White, 2010). Experiential learning occurs when 'knowledge is created through the transformation of experience' (Kolb, 1984).…”

“…Figueres-Munoz et al (Shiratuddin & Thabet, 2011) indicated that integration of BIM and gaming technology has the potential for combinatorial innovation. A number of previous studies have proposed methods for integrating game engine, BIM, and VR experience for various purposes, e.g., design review (e.g., (Shiratuddin & Thabet, 2011;Wu, 2015)), construction management (e.g., (Bille et al, 2014)), education (e.g., (Wu, 2015;Goedert et al, 2011)), energy conservation (e.g., (Niu et al, 2015;Jalaei & Jrade, 2014;Brewer et al, 2013)), real-time architectural visualization (e.g., (Yan et al, 2011)), and design feedback (e.g., (Hosokawa et al, 2016;Fukuda et al, 2015;Bahar et al, 2013;Motamedi et al, 2016)). …”

Integrating building information modeling and virtual reality development engines for building indoor lighting design

et al. 2017

Background: Lighting simulation tools are extending the functionality of Building Information Modeling (BIM) authoring software applications to support the lighting design analysis of buildings. Although such tools enable quantitative and qualitative analysis and visualization of indoor lighting, they do not provide an interactive environment between users and the design context. Moreover, their visualization environments do not allow users to experience visual phenomena such as glare. In addition, lighting energy consumption generated from traditional tools is often separated from the 3D virtual context of the building. Therefore, an incorrect interpretation by designers regarding the relationship between their desirable lighting design and energy feedback may occur. Methods: This research proposes a method and develops a BIM-based lighting design feedback (BLDF) prototype system for realistic visualization of lighting condition and the calculation of energy consumption. Results:The results of a case study revealed that BLDF supports design stakeholders to better perceive and optimize lighting conditions in order to achieve a higher degree of satisfaction in terms of lighting design and energy savings for future occupants. Conclusions: The developed system utilizes an interactive and immersive virtual reality (VR) environment to simulate daylighting and the illumination of artificial lights in buildings and visualizes realistic VR scenes using head mounted displays (HMD). BLDF allows users to interact with design objects, to change them, and to compare multiple design scenarios, and provides real-time lighting quality and energy consumption feedback.

Background: Previous research has shown that the inability to identify hazards is the leading cause of workplace accidents and fatalities. The lack of competency in hazard identification implies a crucial need to improve the teaching and learning approaches in construction safety training and education.Purpose/Hypothesis: This study developed the extended authentic learning framework (EALF) to design a digital simulation game (DSG) called SafeSim Hazards and tested students' perception of its effectiveness in workplace safety and health (WSH) education. Design/Methods: Undergraduates majoring in Project and Facilities Management (PFM) used SafeSim Hazards to learn about hazard identification. A questionnaire was used to collect student perceptions of the game and its effectiveness. In addition, random forest analyses were used to identify critical factors that affect the perceived achievement of learning outcomes. Results: Guidance is the most influential authentic learning factor, and game interaction is an essential design factor in influencing the perceived achievement of learning outcomes. Notably, participants reported high acceptance toward SafeSim Hazards with an average rating of 3.36 out of 4. Conclusions:The key contributions of this study are threefold: ( 1) An EALF is developed to facilitate the development of construction hazard identification DSG. (2) It is demonstrated that the DSG developed based on EALF is well received by students with minimum construction experience. (3) It is recommended that future construction hazard identification DSG for inexperienced trainees should emphasize guidance and game interactions.
