Title:  WLC/LCC INTRODUCTORY & PRACTICAL WORKSHOP

 

This workshop will provide an introduction to the latest approaches to whole life costing including ISO 15686,

“Buildings and constructed assets – Service life Planning – Part 5: Life Cycle Costing”, and the BCIS Standardized Method of Life Cycle Costing for Construction. The workshop is aimed at those who would like to understand the principles of whole life costing. It will be of particular interest to those involved in designing, constructing, operating and maintaining projects within client, design, quantity surveying and contracting organizations and for materials manufacturers, suppliers and academics. Participants will gain an understanding of what they need to consider and how to calculate life cycle costs.

This workshop includes:

·        Whole life cost/life cycle cost terminology

·        Whole life cost/life cycle cost drivers

·        Whole life cost/life cycle cost process

·        The ISO 15686 Standard, Part 5

·        Whole life cost data and pricing methods

·        Net present value and other financial methods

·        Risk and sensitivity analysis

·        Life cycle cost hands-on exercise using Whole Life Cost Evaluator software

Title: "Industrialized, Integrated, Intelligent construction: innovation based on demand driven analysis"

                             

 

"There has been a growing trend for the construction industry to move from a supply-driven industry to a demand-driven industry focusing on delivering extra values such as sustainability, productivity, comfort, flexibility and energy and resource efficiency, and harnessing the capabilities of ICT as an enabler to achieve these objectives. Within this context, the concept of:

Industrialized, Integrated and Intelligent Construction (I3CON) aims to enable this transformation by bringing together industrialized production technologies, integrated processes and intelligent building systems within “smart buildings”. In order to achieve this, a key task is to identify and understand stakeholder requirements – what do clients, designers, contractors, end users and communities require from the buildings of the future? In this seminar, the vision of the I3CON concept is explained, a state-of-the-art stakeholder requirements framework and trends are presented, a model for demand-driven construction is explained, examples of integration of construction services to achieve comfort, flexibility and energy efficiency are described together with demonstrating the potential for the uptake of ICT for energy efficiency in smart buildings environment"
This workshop includes:

·        Stakeholder's requirements analysis for a demand-driven construction industry

·        Industrialized, Integrated and Intelligent Construction

·        ICT for Energy Efficiency: The Case for Smart Buildings

 

 

 Workshop No (3)               Duration: 2H

 

Time: 1.00 – 3.00 PM

Title:  SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT WORKSHOP

 

Developing sustainably is one of the most important issues facing the world at present. This workshop will explore sustainability assessment in the context of the built environment; investigating what the issues are and approaches to measure not just the environmental, but also the social and economic dimensions of sustainability.

This workshop includes:       

·        What is meant by sustainable development?

·        What is meant by sustainability assessment?

·        The issues of sustainability in the built environment

·        Standard approaches to assessing sustainability

·        Alternative approaches to assessing sustainability

·        Benefits of sustainability

The workshop is aimed at those who would like to understand the principles of sustainability assessment. It will be of particular interest to those involved in designing, constructing, operating and maintaining projects within client, design and contracting organizations and for materials manufacturers, suppliers, clients, sustainability assessors and academics. Participants will gain an understanding of what they need to consider carrying out a sustainability assessment.
