Comparison of prediction tools to determine their reliability on calculating operational heating consumption by monitoring no-fines concrete dwellings (2018)
Journal Article
Sierra, F., Mahdjoubi, L., Gething, B., Alzaatreh, A., Fitton, R., & Marshall, A. (2018). Comparison of prediction tools to determine their reliability on calculating operational heating consumption by monitoring no-fines concrete dwellings. Energy and Buildings, 176, 78-94. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2018.07.012

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Nowadays most retrofit decisions are based on reducing CO2 / heating consumption. The aim of this study was to determine the reliability of three tools (RdSAP, SAP and IES) often used to predict these reductions. Three no-fines c...

A BIM based approach for optimization of construction and assembly through material selection (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Gbadamosi, A., Mahamadu, A., Manu, P., Akinade, O., Sierra, F., Lam, T. T., & Alzaatreh, A. (2018, June). A BIM based approach for optimization of construction and assembly through material selection. Paper presented at Creative Construction 2018, Ljubljana, Slovenia

During the design phase of construction projects, professionals seldom consider implications of design choices in terms of the ease with which it can be constructed. This contributes to wastage when chosen design features and materials result in the... Read More about A BIM based approach for optimization of construction and assembly through material selection.
