Smart And Innovative Solutions for a Net-Zero Built Environment brings together research findings from various scholars around the globe to introduce smart and innovative solutions to achieve a net-zero built environment at different phases of a built asset’s lifecycle. It probes into various Industry 4.0 solutions that aim at reducing embodied carbon in multiple construction supply chains. Innovative design approaches such as smart home designs and 3D printed houses are introduced as net-zero carbon solutions within this book. Effective use of building information modelling with systematic integration of other smart technologies are proposed as solutions for carbon reduction in design and construction phases. To reduce operational carbon in the use phase, the book delves into digital twin applications and their meaningful integration with global standards. The book further embarks on different artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning tools to unlock their possibilities in carbon reduction throughout different phases of built assets. The introduction of digital passports by integrating BIM, blockchain and IoT technologies to achieve smart circularity offer a sustainable net-zero solution beyond end-of life of built assets to next-use phases.Overall, the book aims to bring together leading-edge smart solutions that consider both embodied and operational carbon reduction throughout the building life cycle in its drive to achieve net-zero carbon. It blends cutting-edge research, innovative solutions and insightful perspectives from global scholars to offer a detailed understanding on the role of technology in net zero carbon initiatives within the construction industry. The book unveils smart strategies, innovative technologies, and visionary approaches to achieve a net-zero built environment. The target audience for this book are professionals in the construction industry, sustainability experts, educators and students engaged in the fields of architecture, engineering, construction and sustainable programs. Readers will advance their knowledge of how smart technologies can be strategically leveraged to achieve a net-zero built environment towards a sustainable future.

Managing Change in Construction Projects: a knowledge-based approach offers a new perspective on construction project change by viewing the process of change management as a knowledge-intensive activity, where team members bring their tacit and explicit knowledge into the situation; share, create and capture this collective knowledge for future re-use in similar situations. Through this knowledge-based approach, construction teams can successfully resolve and learn from change events, leading to an overall improved performance of the industry.The book will make a significant contribution to our understanding of construction project change by offering new theoretical and practical insights and models grounded in results of case studies conducted within two collaborative construction project team settings.By demonstrating how the social construction of knowledge works in construction settings, the authors challenge the prevailing change management solutions based on ‘hard’ IT approaches. They put forward a balanced view that incorporates both IT–based and socially constructed approaches to effective management of construction project change. helps construction managers to improve and learn through the process of construction project changepresents new theoretical models and offers practical guidelinesfirst research-based book to directly address project change from a knowledge-based perspectivedraws on detailed studies with construction companies, including Ballast Construction and Kier Constructionencourages a move from the information driven, process integrated approach to a knowledge-based view
