What this paper is about
Following the construction methods and challenges learnt in papers ENGCV241, ENGCV251 and ENGCV380, the students will gain more advanced knowledge in construction technology and building sustainability.
Students will learn about advanced technology in the construction industry that initially requires them to understand the purposes of the technology in the industry: data acquisition, data analytics, data visualisation, communication, and construction automation. Understanding the application of technologies in construction is followed by knowledge of construction industry innovation, Construction 4.0, and building sustainability. Based on this knowledge, students will develop a project design using Building Information Modelling, Virtual Reality, and Life Cycle Assessment methods to apply the technology in the construction process and analyse the environmental impact
