“…The multiple simulations with the proposed model allowed to assess different evacuation plans to improve the performance of evacuations on OOGPs; furthermore, the authors concluded that the model was more than transferable to other industries in need of more evacuation planning research, such as the engineering and construction industry (Cheng et al, 2018). When it comes to the interaction between ABM and BIM in residential environments, (Micolier et al, 2019) proposed a model accounting for multiple residents' attributes (e.g., social-behavior, thermal model, comfort model, decision-making model) interacting with the BIM model. Notably, the proposed model enabled the study of the impact of building designs on occupants' comfort and the influence of occupants' behavior on building performances (Micolier et al, 2019).…”

“…In recent years, researchers have begun to expand the use of ABM in the realm of construction engineering and management with technologies already in place in the construction industry, such as building information modeling-BIM (Cheng et al, 2018); (Micolier et al, 2019). BIM is a collection of visualized building information, and as such, BIM models facilities without accounting for human behavior (Porter et al, 2014).…”

Construction projects represent complex systems where the interactions between the multiple project resources and stakeholders change over time; however, traditional methods to manage construction projects typically cannot capture such complexity in its totality. Thus, limiting our understanding of such complexity on construction projects. A novel approach used to investigate complex adaptive systems, Agent-based modeling (ABM), allows modeling the interaction between multiple agents that leads to emergent behaviors. As such, this approach represents a feasible modeling technique to study the inherent complexity of construction projects by spending computing resources instead of actual resources, which can be more cost-effective. However, limited attention has been paid to this modeling technique in the construction and management field. This paper aims to discuss guidelines for implementing ABM in the construction sector by discussing its benefits and limitations. It was found that ABM allows the incorporation of otherwise unaccounted complexity associated with construction processes and projects. However, a limitation of ABM is that data to validate models can be difficult to obtain. It is expected that this study helps to encourage the use of ABM in the context of the construction engineering and management field to fully capture the complexity of construction projects and processes.

“…A typically assisted workflow by Building Information Modeling (BIM) process is the building performance evaluation [1], for instance, for energy consumption [2] and lighting [3], and air quality through simulations [4]. The optimal building performance can be achieved with technical considerations and a close fit between the building and its users' needs, providing comfort, health, and safety [5]. In terms of a computer-aided approach, development toward an easy-to-use data input is emerging for human behaviour regarding the programming and design phase.…”

There is increasing pressure from developers toward architects and engineers to deliver scientifically sound proposals for often complex and cost-intensive construction products. An increase in digitalization within the construction industry and the availability of intelligently built assets and overall sustainability make it possible to customize a construction product. This servitization of construction products is assumed to perform much preferably in satisfying stakeholders’ physical, psychological, and social needs. The degree to which these products are performing can be evaluated through an evidence index. This article aims to introduce a conceptual model of an evidence index and test it in the programming stage of a case study. The investigation follows the evidence-based design approach and renders evidence through key performance indicators in the programming stage of the building process. For testing the concept, a case study investigation was performed by simulating a novice research assistant, and the amount of evidence was collected and appraised for evidence index. The case study showed that key performance indicators of a servitized project could be evaluated on a four-point scale. The quality of the evidence index generation depended on the level of expertise the evaluator has in research and the skilful use of scientific databases.

With the emergence of the fourth industrial revolution and extensive promotion of information communication tools, it is on the construction industry to reconsider the current linear design approach and adopt more integrated design approaches that encompass dynamic thermal simulation. Building information modeling (BIM), without a doubt, is a technology, which proposes an integrated practice for building design. Design team using BIM cooperatively work on each activity loop during the design procedure and present a three-dimensional (3D) design model with all data from various disciplines attached at the final stage. The inclusion of a data-rich 3D shape into the design procedure marks the dynamic thermal simulation as a simple, accessible, and, more importantly, decisive stage. This article aims to draw the role of BIM in facilitating the inclusion of dynamic thermal simulation in building design procedures. BIM in this article is introduced as an effective remedy for dealing with the linear nature of conventional building design that is the major impediment to the inclusion of dynamic thermal simulations in the design efforts. This article goes through the conventional method's deficiencies and challenges with the BIM-based method to portray each approach's advantages and disadvantages. Renowned BIM software, interoperable simulation tools, and their distinguishing characteristics are introduced in summary to give a better insight into the application of BIM for dynamic thermal simulation purposes. Additionally, a literature survey on applying the introduced tools is
