Book Description

In the last two decades, the biannual ECPPM (European Conference on Product and Process Modelling) conference series has provided a unique platform for the presentation and discussion of the most recent advances with regard to the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) applications in the AEC/FM (Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Facilities Management) domains.

ECPPM 2014, the 10th European Conference on Product and Process Modelling, was hosted by the Department of Building Physics and Building Ecology of the Vienna University of Technology, Austria (17-19 September 2014). This book entails a substantial number of high-quality contributions that cover a large spectrum of topics pertaining to ICT deployment instances in AEC/FM, including:
- BIM (Building Information Modelling)
- ICT in Civil engineering & Infrastructure
- Human requirements & factors
- Computational decision support

- Energy & management
- Ontology, data models, and IFC (Industry Foundation Classes)
- Energy modelling
- Thermal performance simulation
- Sustainable buildings
- Micro climate modelling
- Model calibration
- Project & construction management
