“…The utility function can represent the preference and relative risk attitude of consumers [30]. Utility theory has been applied to green supply chain management [31], joint construction ventures [25], design-build projects [32], bid markup decisions [33], and devaluating build, operate, and transfer (BOT) projects [34]. Using the utility function to establish an assessment model provides the advantages of not only addressing the difficulties of building a multi-criteria model, but also supporting decision-makers by adjusting to their preferences and risk attitude to reduce the occurrence of inconsistent decisions influenced by various factors, such as emotion, environment, and information.…”

Industry and economy are developed to satisfy the needs and material desires of people. In addition to making high greenhouse gas emissions the responsibility of industry, individuals and families should also be held responsible for the production of greenhouse gas emissions. In this study, we applied the Delphi method, the analytical hierarchy process, utility theory, and fuzzy logic theory to establish an energy conservation assessment model for households. We also emphasize that subsidy policy makers should consider the social responsibility of households and individuals, as well as sustainability of energy conservation.

“…Additive aggregation is performed to calculate the overall utility of each ENT service using the weights of attributes and single attribute values of particular services. This assessment model provides straightforward calculation of overall utility values and easy assessment on both weights of attributes and single attribute values of utility [2].…”

“…+---Data Retrieval widely used in thousands of construction-related and other types of surveys and polls being conducted over the ENT. Since the topic of the self-administered survey relates to the use of ENT services, the use of e-mail and Web technologies in this survey is appropriate [2]. Fig 1 depicts the instruments of the Web-based questionnaire.…”

“…The utility of ENT services for construction activities is a part of ENT's overall acceptability in the construction industry, and is defined as the measure of how the ENT services can support project activities during the project life cycle. Its utility will vary depending on project activities, the parties involved, and the environment in which the activities are taking place [2].…”

Abstract. Electronic Networking Technologies (ENT) have only begun to make inroads into the construction industry practice. ENT provide unparalleled opportunities for the construction industry to introduce new and innovative way of processing information. These opportunities also present a number of challenges in terms of how to plan for and implement ENT services. There is a significant potential for large benefits :from the correctly developed and applied ENT solutions for construction projects activities. This paper presents an assessment model for determining utility of various ENT services and the optimal configuration of ENT services for D/B projects. Web and FTP services were included in the ENT configuration as the tools to support all activities that require information retrieval. E-mail, list server, video conferencing, and remote access services were included in the ENT configuration as communication tools. An implementation scenario of the utility assessment model and a discussion on issues that should be considered in implementing ENT services in construction are presented.

Electronic construction information portals have become popular in recent years but most portals are intended for business transaction processing. This paper describes a web-based construction information portal (e-Portal) intended for use by construction engineers. A functional framework for the portal is presented along with a 4-Tier architecture including the Presentation Layer, Application Layer, Application Programming Interface(API) Layer, and the Database Layer. Construction related information such as legal regulations, standard specifications, technical manuals, construction materials and manufacturers is organized and presented to reflect the multiple functions of the e-Portal. With the presented e-Portal architecture, construction information can be acquired and processed via a Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), mobile devices, and WWW(World Wide Web) with the use of the Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) and Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL)).
