Synopsis
Building Information modelling, sensor and wearable technology have the potential to radically change the approach taken to the construction and operation of built environment assets. Information embedded within construction components, locations and built assets can be communicated visually and aurally to operatives and users of buildings and can consequently influence the receiver’s behaviour. This Theme will provide an opportunity for professionals and researchers to learn, share and exchange about the latest development and research in information management in cosntruction and the Built Environment. The theme will have a specific focus on utilizing advanced technologies in improving the performance of the industry in cosntructing and managing built environment assets.
