Building Information Modelling implementation models in Thailand: Drivers, benefits, barriers, and lessons learned (2022)
Journal Article

This study provides an overview of the typical building information modelling (BIM) implementation models in Thailand and a BIM implementation guide for contractors to avoid repeating common mistakes. Generally, BIM is used to produce a three-dimensi... Read More about Building Information Modelling implementation models in Thailand: Drivers, benefits, barriers, and lessons learned.

COVID-19: Main challenges during construction stage (2021)
Journal Article

Purpose: This paper reviews the current literature on the major challenges faced by building contractors in the UK due to COVID-19 to create an evaluation framework. Design/methodology/approach: A PRISMA scoping review systematically maps the informa... Read More about COVID-19: Main challenges during construction stage.

Presentation / Conference Contribution

Comparison of prediction tools to determine their reliability on calculating operational heating consumption by monitoring no-fines concrete dwellings (2018)
Journal Article

© 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...

Disaggregating high-resolution gas metering data using pattern recognition (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Growing concern about the scale and extent of the gap between predicted and actual energy performance of new and retrofitted UK homes has led to a surge in the development of new tools and technologies trying to address the probl...

A BIM based approach for optimization of construction and assembly through material selection (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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.

Heritage Building Information Modelling (HBIM) to make informed decisions when retrofitting. A case study (2018)

Impact of the position of the window in the reveal of a cavity wall on the heat loss and the internal surface temperature of the head of an opening with a steel lintel (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Elsevier B.V. The interface between the head of the window and the wall represents one of the largest thermal bridges of a building and one of the areas with the highest risk of surface condensation. This paper confirmed the importance, and in...

Journal Article

© 2014 Published by Elsevier B.V. The interface between the head of the window and the wall represents one of the largest thermal bridges of a building and one of the areas with the highest risk of surface condensation and mould growth. This study is... Read More about Impact of the simplification of the methodology used to assess the thermal bridge of the head of an opening.

Impact of current steel lintels on the thermal performance of cavity wall buildings under the elemental recipe of Part L1A 2013 (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study investigates the impact of current steel lintels on the CO2 emissions of a notional building when trying to comply with the new PART L1A 2013 of the Building Regulations of England and Wales. For this purpose different families of lintels... Read More about Impact of current steel lintels on the thermal performance of cavity wall buildings under the elemental recipe of Part L1A 2013.
