Research on Sustainable Supplier Evaluation Index System in Architectural Design Industry

Sustainable development has been popularized and emphasized in many industries. Great attention has been paid to the sustainability performance of the whole supply chain, with evaluating suppliers’ sustainability being particularly critical. However, research on sustainable development in the consulting service industry remains to be discovered, and few academic studies have analyzed the supplier selection indices derived from this industry. This paper conducted a case study in a design institute using the Delphi method to investigate the concept and characteristics of sustainable suppliers. Keywords derived from surveys and literature were collected, sorted, and established into a comprehensive hierarchy index system for sustainability evaluation. Finally, based on the improved failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the failure risk of the indices was analyzed with weighted risk factors to obtain the high-risk key evaluation indices, which provided a simplified scheme for enterprises to streamline the evaluation process on sustainable suppliers. The results show the reliability of the improved FMEA model by differentiating the risk value and ranking. Suggestions for sustainable improvement are provided.

Exploration of the intelligent-auxiliary design of architectural space using artificial intelligence model.

In order to carry out a comprehensive design description of the specific architectural model of AI, the auxiliary model of AI and architectural spatial intelligence is deeply integrated, and flexible design is carried out according to the actual situation. AI assists in the generation of architectural intention and architectural form, mainly supporting academic and working theoretical models, promoting technological innovation, and thus improving the design efficiency of the architectural design industry. AI-aided architectural design enables every designer to achieve design freedom. At the same time, with the help of AI, architectural design can complete the corresponding work faster and more efficiently. With the help of AI technology, through the adjustment and optimization of keywords, AI automatically generates a batch of architectural space design schemes. Against this background, the auxiliary model of architectural space design is established through the literature research of the AI model, the architectural space intelligent auxiliary model, and the semantic network and the internal structure analysis of architectural space. Secondly, to ensure compliance with the three-dimensional characteristics of the architectural space from the data source, based on the analysis of the overall function and structure of space design, the intelligent design of the architectural space auxiliary by Deep Learning is carried out. Finally, it takes the 3D model selected in the UrbanScene3D data set as the research object, and the auxiliary performance of AI's architectural space intelligent model is tested. The research results show that with the increasing number of network nodes, the model fitting degree on the test data set and training data set is decreasing. The fitting curve of the comprehensive model shows that the intelligent design scheme of architectural space based on AI is superior to the traditional architectural design scheme. As the number of nodes in the network connection layer increases, the intelligent score of space temperature and humidity will continue to rise. The model can achieve the optimal intelligent auxiliary effect of architectural space. The research has practical application value for promoting the intelligent and digital transformation of architectural space design.

Building Interior Layout Design Based on Building Information Model and Deep Learning Technology: Taking the Interior Renewal Design of the Fifth Floor of the Procuratorate of Dong Xi Hu District as an Example.

With the development of the Internet era and the information age, electronic information technology has profoundly affected human life and work, and the architectural design industry is no exception. Architectural design has a complex design period, and the arbitrary division of labour reflects the particularity of its working process. At present, the integration of electronic information technology and scientific and technological software into architectural design has dramatically improved the work efficiency of designers. However, due to the enormous workload of drawing and modification of building drawings, and many professional departments involved in cooperation, the error rate of drawing design is still high, which eventually leads to a series of serious problems such as stagnation of the design process and rework of construction.

PENERAPAN BUILDING PERFORMANCE SEBAGAI USAHA MENCIPTAKAN KENYAMANAN TERMAL

Indonesia is a large and rich country, predicted to be number 6th in the world economy by 2023. This is of course followed by the development of business sectors in the country, especially creative industries including the architectural design industry. The growing competition in the world of architecture with the number of firms that have sprung up has encouraged business performer in search for “added value” that can make their services receive more attention from the public. One thing that is appealing is green architecture, especially building performance that offers environmental friendly and energy-saving options. Aspects of concern in building performance include energy efficiency itself, productivity, and comfort. For many people energy efficiency is often associated with retrenchment, that reduce comfort, one of which is thermal comfort. In fact, building performance works simultaneously. Considering 3 aspects that concern the building performance, one of them is comfort, thermal comfort is one of the concerns. In fact, many building performance strategies can be offered and applied to architectural designs that improve heat management, especially heat loss such as shade and ventilation / ventilation that can handle this. With the right strategy, it is not only the energy savings we get, the comfort of the residents themselves can be maintained.

Preliminary exploration of energy-saving residential design in hot summer and cold winter area taking Wuhan as an example

In today's architectural design industry, building energy-saving design has become a hot topic, and it is a necessary link for the construction industry to implement sustainable development. However, most areas in China are in hot summer and cold winter. It is very meaningful to design energy-saving residential buildings in combination with the climate to make the buildings more livable and environmentally friendly. This paper demonstrates the design process of a small house in the suburbs of Wuhan, comprehensively considers the building shape, building natural lighting and ventilation, building maintenance structure, the actual application of new materials and new technologies for green house design. At the same time, it combines Ecotect and other computer technology to design the green house. The applied building energy saving technology is analyzed and optimized to provide new ideas for other related designs.

BIM-VE-Based Optimization of Green Building Envelope from the Perspective of both Energy Saving and Life Cycle Cost

In the context of the increasingly severe energy crisis and global warming, green buildings and their energy-saving issues are being paid more attention in the world. Since envelope optimization can significantly reduce the energy consumption of green buildings, value engineering (VE) technology and building information modeling (BIM) technology are used to optimize the envelope of green buildings, which takes into account both energy saving and life cycle cost. The theoretical framework of optimization for green building envelope based on BIM-VE is proposed, including a BIM model for architecture, a life cycle cost analysis model, energy-saving analysis model, and a value analysis model. In the life-cycle cost model, a mathematical formula for the life-cycle cost is established, and BIM technology is used to generate a bill of quantity. In the energy-saving analysis model, a mathematical formula for energy saving is established, and BIM technology is used for the building energy simulation. In the scheme decision-making sub-model, VE technology integrating life cycle cost with energy saving is used to assess the envelope schemes and select the optimal one. A prefabricated project case is used to simulate and test the established methodology. The important results show that the 16 envelope schemes make the 16 corresponding designed buildings meet the green building evaluation standards, and the optimal envelope scheme is the “energy-saving and anti-theft door + exterior window 2+ floor 1+ exterior wall 1 + inner shear wall + inner partition wall 2 + planted roof” with the value 10.80 × 10−2 MW·h/ten thousand yuan. A significant finding is that the value generally rises with the increase of energy-saving rate while the life cycle cost is irregular with the increase of energy-saving rate. Compared with previous efforts in the literature, this study introduces VE technology into architectural design to further expand the current boundary of building energy-saving theory. The findings and suggestions will provide a valuable reference and guidance for the architectural design industry to optimize the envelope of green buildings from the perspective of both energy saving and life cycle cost.

Strategic factor analysis of innovation adoption in Thai architects: A case study of Building Information Modeling

Inspiring competition and enhancing standards of living as the foundation of a progressive knowledge-based society, innovation has been acknowledged as having an indispensable influence on the economic development of nations for a long time. Currently being implemented in nations throughout the world for the design and application of design projects, building information modeling (BIM) involves computer technology in the structure and facility design industry. BIM’s adaptive design technology is presently being distinguished and embraced by the Thai architectural design industry. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) statistical approaches have been employed to examine, categorize and evaluate the factors associated with BIM adoption behavior in the industry. A total of 199 Thai architects with familiarity in the utilization of BIM were employed to accumulate the empirical data. Using EFA, factors were categorized into four major clusters including (1) adopter characteristics, (2) BIM characteristics, and (3) vendor characteristics, as well as (4) environmental characteristics. In order to articulate, exhibit, and deliberate an approach to develop BIM implementation by the Thai architectural design industry, the outcomes were applied.

Interlinking geospatial and building geometry with existing and developing standards on the web

Abstract Geometric data plays a central role in the geospatial domain, architectural design and construction industry. For upcoming, new approaches to store building data, such as the Semantic Web, no universal common agreement exists on the combination of geometric and non-geometric data. It can therefore be unclear to users on how to represent their geometries, leading to a decelerated application and advancement of making building data available over the web. This gap can only be bridged if a common approach on the representation of geometries on the web is achieved. To first generate a common understanding of geometry representations, an overview of existing and developing geometry (web) standards needs to be given and discussed, i.e., the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), CityGML, GeoSPARQL, and the OntoBREP and GEOM ontologies. This discussion needs to consider general contexts, e.g., 2D, 3D, detailed, or tessellated geometries, and specific use cases of the construction industry. Based on these discussions, this paper aims to propose a general recommendation for web-based geometry representations to enhance future applications of building data on the web. Due to the variety of use cases and their requirements, as well as technical constraints based on deviant interpretations of geometry descriptions from different geometry kernels, it became clear, that no approach or standard is generally superior to others. The biggest distinction identified in this paper is posed between the context of visualizing, where simplified, tessellated geometry holds the highest advantage, and (parametric) modeling, which requires semantically detailed geometry representations. Hence, we recommend to interlink non-geometric data with multiple geometry representations, to address all relevant contexts and use cases appropriately. The individual geometry representations should be chosen based on the relevant use cases for an optimal experience when using and exchanging geometry on the web. With this recommendation, the benefits of all discussed approaches can be exploited while avoiding their respective challenges.

A performance benchmark over semantic rule checking approaches in construction industry

As more and more architectural design and construction data is represented using the Resource Description Framework (RDF) data model, it makes sense to take advantage of the logical basis of RDF and implement a semantic rule checking process as it is currently not available in the architectural design and construction industry. The argument for such a semantic rule checking process has been made a number of times by now. However, there are a number of strategies and approaches that can be followed regarding the realization of such a rule checking process, even when limiting to the use of semantic web technologies. In this article, we compare three reference rule checking approaches that have been reported earlier for semantic rule checking in the domain of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC). Each of these approaches has its advantages and disadvantages. A criterion that is tremendously important to allow adoption and uptake of such semantic rule checking approaches, is performance. Hence, this article provides an overview of our collaborative test results in order to obtain a performance benchmark for these approaches. In addition to the benchmark, a documentation of the actual rule checking approaches is discussed. Furthermore, we give an indication of the main features and decisions that impact performance for each of these three approaches, so that system developers in the construction industry can make an informed choice when deciding for one of the documented rule checking approaches.

Enhancing the ifcOWL ontology with an alternative representation for geometric data

Over the past few years, several suggestions have been made of how to convert an EXPRESS schema into an OWL ontology. The conversion from EXPRESS to OWL is of particular use to the architectural design and construction industry, because one of the key data models in this domain, namely the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), is represented using the EXPRESS information modelling language. These conversion efforts have by now resulted in a recommended ifcOWL ontology that stays semantically close to the EXPRESS schema. Two major improvements could be made in addition to this ifcOWL basis. First, the ontology could be split into diverse modules, making it easier to use subsets of the entire ontology. Second, geometric aggregated data (e.g. lists of coordinates) could be serialised into alternative, less complex semantic structures. The purpose of both improvements is to make ifcOWL data smaller in size and complexity. In this article, we focus entirely on the second topic, namely the optimization of geometric data in the semantic representation. We outline and discuss the diverse available options in optimizing the data representations used. We quantify the impact of these measures on the ifcOWL ontology and instance model size. We conclude with an explicit recommendation and give an indication of how this recommendation might be implemented in combination with the already available ifcOWL ontology.

A Causal Model of BIM Adoption in the Thai Architectural and Engineering Design Industry

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a computer technology for design and management of buildings and facilities, which is widely adopted for implementing design projects in many countries. Thailand is one of those countries which has adopted the changing design technology of BIM to use in the Thai architectural and engineering design industry. The purpose of this research was to develop a causal model of the factors influencing BIM adoption behaviors in the Thai architectural and engineering design industry. The related theories and research papers were thoroughly explored and examined in order to find out the related factors. The initial factors were confirmed and validated by a group of experts. The final factors were used to formulate a structural equation model (SEM) for studying the relationship among the factors. The empirical data was collected from a group of Thai engineers and architects with experiences in using BIM (278 respondents). The results suggested that the factor that had a positive significant influence on BIM adoption was BIM characteristics. The indicators of the BIM characteristics comprised the following: (1) quality of the product, (2) relative advantage, (3) trialability, (4) ease of use, and (5) compatibility. The strategies for the adaptation of the Thai architectural and engineering design industry to the BIM adoption were also discussed in the conclusion of this article.
