Complexity in designing energy efficient buildings: towards understanding decision networks in design
TL;DR: This study analyzes the level of complexity for energy efficient building design and possible remedies for managing or reducing the complexity.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
On Epistemology of Construction Engineering and Management
TL;DR: In philosophy of science, there have been two different starting points for epistemology: Platonism and Aristotelianism, and these two alternative starting points have played a major role also in the formation of fundamental ideas of engineering and management generally as well as in relation to construction as mentioned in this paper.
Collaboration in Design – Justification, Characteristics and Related Concepts
TL;DR: In this article, a literature review is conducted and applicability to Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry and project delivery are discussed, and it was found that collaboration is a complex phenomenon, which explains the diversity of views and many complimentary concepts in organizational and design literature.
