Project managers need to visualize the project, and effectively learn how to manage it. However, this objective is not fully achievable using conventional learning approach via classroom training. Learning using game is introduced to provide a more interactive and engaging learning environment. A survey was conducted to a group of Malaysian Government professionals, where one of their core businesses is project management, to evaluate their acceptance on this approach based on three specific aspects -perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and intention to use. The professionals responded positively in the survey even though, they were only explained on the concept of game based learning and not experiencing the actual game. This study is very important as the result of this study encourages the acceptance of game based learning in project management field. Future development on the content of the game is required to ensure effective, efficient and engaging learning is achievable.

“…This excessive resource and energy use and the growing demand for raw materials (Hussin, Rahman, & Memon, 2013) has resulted in depletion of natural resources and acceleration of global warming as the primary environmental threat of the 21 st century (Oni & Akingbohungbe, 2013). Practical realities include the threats of collapsing fisheries, diminishing forest cover and depletion of fresh water systems and natural resources (Waniko, 2012).…”

“…Practical realities include the threats of collapsing fisheries, diminishing forest cover and depletion of fresh water systems and natural resources (Waniko, 2012). Especially in the construction industry, an enormous quantity of resources are used during building construction, renovation and operation (Nwokoro & Onukwube, 2011a;, accounting for one-sixth of the world's freshwater withdrawals, one-quarter of its wood harvest and two-fifths of its material and energy flows (Hussin, et al, 2013).…”

“…The social dimension concerns the quality of human life through the securing of basic needs such as shelter, and by ensuring comfort, identify and choice (Nwokoro & Onukwube, 2011a). The economic dimension emphasises increasing profitability or limiting investment and operation costs by making appropriate selection and more efficient use of resources, including labour, materials, water and energy (Hussin, et al, 2013;Soegiarso, 2007). The environmental dimension seeks to prevent harmful and potential irreversible effects on the environment by careful and innovative use of natural resources, minimizing waste, protecting and enhancing the environment (Hussin, et al, 2013;Soegiarso, 2007).…”

According to Dania, et al (2013), the greatest concern of sustainable construction is simultaneously pursuing economic prosperity, environmental quality and social equity.…”

Die aktuelle Generation von Planern ist mit der Aufgabe konfrontiert, neue, nachhaltigere Bausysteme zu entwickeln, um der Problematik der Ressourcenknappheit, der Verstädterung, dem Klima‐, aber auch dem demografischen Wandel entgegenzuwirken. Hierbei ist die Frage nach deren effizienter Herstellung unter Nutzung nachwachsender Rohstoffe in den Fokus der Forschungsbemühungen gerückt. In den letzten Jahren hat der Automatisierungsgrad in der Vorfertigung unter der Agenda der produktbasierten Bausysteme zugenommen, die ein hohes Potenzial aufweisen, aber in Umgebungen, wo eine höhere Flexibilität erforderlich ist, nur bedingt zielführend sind. Die Realisierung ressourcensparender Entwürfe führt unweigerlich zu kleinen Losgrößen und einmalig zu produzierenden Bauelementen, die für eine effiziente Fabrikation anpassungsfähige Vorfertigungsanlagen für eine Vielzahl von Lösungen erfordern. Am Exzellenzcluster Integratives computerbasiertes Planen und Bauen für die Architektur (IntCDC) werden Methoden erforscht, welche mittels Mensch‐Maschine‐Kollaboration eine Steigerung von Flexibilität und Adaptivität der Vorfabrikation und Konstruktion von Bauwerken anstreben. Dazu werden neben der Durchführung von Untersuchungen zur Augmented‐Reality‐Technologie‐unterstützten Integration und Kommunikation von Mensch und Maschine auch auf maschinellem Lernen basierende Trainingsmethoden und Vorhersagemodelle entwickelt.
