Review of non-domestic building stock modelling studies under socio-technical system framework (2024)
Journal Article
Zhou, J., Fennell, P., Korolija, I., Fang, Z., Tang, R., & Ruyssevelt, P. (2024). Review of non-domestic building stock modelling studies under socio-technical system framework. Journal of Building Engineering, 97, Article 110873. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jobe.2024.110873

The construction industry contributes to approximately 30% of global energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, necessitating urgent measures to mitigate carbon emissions and address climate problems. This study focuses on the underexplored rea... Read More about Review of non-domestic building stock modelling studies under socio-technical system framework.

Conceptualizing Digital Twins in Construction Projects as Socio-Technical Systems (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abdelmegid, M., Tezel, A., Osorio-Sandoval, C., Fang, Z., & Collinge, W. (2024, June). Conceptualizing Digital Twins in Construction Projects as Socio-Technical Systems. Presented at 41st International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction, Lille, France

Digital Twin (DT) has been proposed in the construction sector as the evolution of static Building Information Modeling (BIM) by enabling seamless data flow between physical and digital environments. This paper presents an integrated framework that c... Read More about Conceptualizing Digital Twins in Construction Projects as Socio-Technical Systems.

MIVES MULTI-CRITERIA FRAMEWORK TO SUSTAINABILITY INDEX OF DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURE AND ASSEMBLY (2024)
Journal Article
Tan, T., Zheng, L., Xue, F., Bao, Z., Fang, Z., & Liu, X. (2024). MIVES MULTI-CRITERIA FRAMEWORK TO SUSTAINABILITY INDEX OF DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURE AND ASSEMBLY. Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 30(3), 234-247. https://doi.org/10.3846/jcem.2024.20953

Embracing sustainable strategies that consider Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) has become a rapidly growing trend in urban development. Continued uncertainty on the sustainability assessment of design could drive a series of indecisive dec...

Framing blockchain-integrated digital twins for emergent healthcare: a proof of concept (2023)
Journal Article
Lu, Q., Chen, L., Xie, X., Fang, Z., Ye, Z., & Pitt, M. (2023). Framing blockchain-integrated digital twins for emergent healthcare: a proof of concept. Proceedings of the ICE - Engineering Sustainability, 176(4), 228 - 243. https://doi.org/10.1680/jensu.22.00073

It has been witnessed that digital technology has the potential to improve the efficiency of emergent healthcare management of Covid-19; however, it has not been widely adopted due to unclear definition and configuration. This research aims to propose a... Read More about Framing blockchain-integrated digital twins for emergent healthcare: a proof of concept.

BIM-integrated portfolio-based strategic asset data quality management (2021)
Journal Article
Fang, Z., Liu, Y., Lu, Q., Pitt, M., Hanna, S., & Tian, Z. (2022). BIM-integrated portfolio-based strategic asset data quality management. Automation in Construction, 134, Article 104070. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.autcon.2021.104070

A building's strategic asset management (SAM) capability has traditionally been limited by its site-based management. With the emergence of needs from clients about delivering a long-term portfolio-based building asset management plan that minimizes...
