“…The building has 19 tracked power circuits and the information can be visualised on the screens within the building and within the game model on the monitors. This links with Strategy 7, as it highlights the importance of tracking consumables, as well as the material flow within the building, and helps towards reducing buildings' energy consumption [43].…”

This paper presents a new virtual reality (VR)-based approach to advanced learnings and experiences of the circular economy (CE) in the construction industry. The approach involves incorporating game design and a building information modelling (BIM) digital twin of a purposed CE prototype building. Our novel approach introduces VR environments designed to provide a visual representation of materials and components that can be reintroduced into the supply chain at the end of life and their removal procedures and material provenance. A case study methodology was applied to a purposely designed CE building, namely the Legacy Living Lab (L3). To reflect the real-life building, L3’s BIM model was combined with Unify game software to advance the literature in three key areas. First, the research investigates VR tools that will allow building designers to view and implement their strategies to advance CE design. Second, this research proposes an advanced VR tool to visualise the bill of quantities (BoQ) and material stock embedded in the studied building, further understanding concepts such as buildings as material banks. Finally, the proposed VR environment defines CE techniques implemented within the case study to be disseminated across the vast construction industry. This VR research identifies three key pillars in reducing the waste generated by the construction industry: education, documentation and visualisation. Furthermore, this paper provides a visual link between the BIM, BoQ and resiliency of the selected materials.

“…Specific to O&M work order management [30], proposed computer maintenance management systems (CMMSs) to record information such as service requests and work orders for convenient execution for FM professionals. Other intelligent tools alike have also been developed and used to enable facility managers to better plan, execute and monitor FM activities such as computer-aided facility management (CAFM) systems and building automation systems (BAS) [31,32]. Because of these benefits, BIM has been widely applied in the following specific FM realms: (1) real-time visualization; (2) supporting decision making, communication, and progress monitoring; (3) energy performance management; (4) indoor environment monitoring; (5) indoor thermal comfort tracking; (6) space management; and (7) easing the tracking of planning orders, space, activities, and labor [33].…”

“…Implementation of process automation in business nowadays is increasing, as it enables specific actions to be performed more efficiently, faster or using less resources [1]- [3]. Digitization of business processes allows executing specific processes digitally using informational technologies, and creating control mechanisms, monitoring, increasing data and information transparency in order to analyse business processes more efficiently and detect weak points.…”

The study proposes a smart restaurant system and analyses its benefits to be able to determine system potential advantages in restaurants. Service time is one of the main criteria that can be improved to enhance the speed of the customer service as well as to increase the number of restaurant visitors. To develop the system, solutions found in scientific literature, software and their different architectures are analysed. It has been found out that it is possible to decrease the average restaurant service load time by 52.76 %. Two hypotheses have been proposed for further research in order to determine how a smart restaurant service system can increase chef’s efficiency and how the use of different algorithms can decrease chef’s workload during peak hours.
