sustainable decision making in civil engineering construction and Building Technology
Sustainability, 2017Co-Authors: Edmundas Kazimieras Zavadskas, Jurgita Antucheviciene, Tatjana Vilutiene, Hojjat AdeliAbstract:Sustainable decision-making in civil engineering, construction and Building Technology can be supported by fundamental scientific achievements and multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) theories. The current paper aims at overviewing the state of the art in terms of published papers related to theoretical methods that are applied to support sustainable evaluation and selection processes in civil engineering. The review is limited solely to papers referred to in the Clarivate Analytic Web of Science core collection database. As the focus is on multiple-criteria decision-making, it aims at reviewing how the papers on MCDM developments and applications have been distributed by period of publishing, by author countries and institutions, and by journals. Detailed analysis of 2015–2017 journal articles from two Web of Science categories (engineering civil and construction Building Technology) is presented. The articles are grouped by research domains, problems analyzed and the decision-making approaches used. The findings of the current review paper show that MCDM applications have been constantly growing and particularly increased in the last three years, confirming the great potential and prospects of applying MCDM methods for sustainable decision-making in civil engineering, construction and Building Technology.

sustainability assessment of an innovative lightweight Building Technology for partition walls comparison with conventional technologies
Building and Environment, 2013Co-Authors: Ricardo Mateus, Sara Daniela Oliveira Neiva, Paulo Mendonça, L Braganca, Mónica MacieiraAbstract:Abstract The growing necessity to save material and energy resources, together with an increasing concern over the environmental issues and uncertainties on the evolution of the economy, have impelled minimalist-approaches to Architecture and Engineering. This created a new necessity for reducing, to the minimum necessary expression, the used Building materials and elements. When analysing the overall material inputs of a Building, it is possible to conclude that the interior partition walls have the higher contribution to the material inputs, when compared to other non-load bearing construction elements. Other aspect to highlight is that a great portion of Building designs are not flexible in use and therefore Buildings are not suitably adjustable to the permanent updating of life-styles and variations on the composition of the households. Although there are some lightweight Building technologies, in most cases the construction practice all over Europe makes use of heavyweight and static partition walls. This paper will focus the advantages of lightweight partition walls and may contribute for the development of new partition wall technologies. It presents a sustainability assessment of a new lightweight sandwich membrane Building Technology for indoor partitions developed within a research project. The used methodology comprises the environmental, functional and economic life-cycle analysis. In order to identify the advantages of the Building Technology under development, each different design approach for the conceptual Technology will be compared with two reference technologies: i) the heavyweight conventional partition wall (hollow brick wall); and ii) the lightweight reference gypsum panels wall (plasterboard wall).

Vision and Methodology to Support Sustainable Architecture Through Building Technology in The Digital Era
The Academic Research Community publication, 2019Co-Authors: Merhan Mohammed M. ShahdaAbstract:The last decades have witnessed countless, progressive, and rapid advances in the field of Building Technology, which has a strong impact on the construction industry. Consequently, employing these techniques to support sustainable architecture has become a pivotal issue. Since architecture is a product of the available Technology era, Building Technology could be a contributing factor to reinforce sustainable architecture, where it could promote raising the efficiency of the environmental performance of the architectural product. This paper introduces a methodological framework to support sustainable architecture through Building Technology in the digital era through an analytical study of the interactions between Building Technology and sustainable architecture. In addition, this paper analyzes the influence of the technological revolution in the digital era on the axes of Building Technology (implementation methods, construction systems, construction materials) from the sustainability perspective so as to conserve natural resources for future generations.
