Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart asset management for the sustainable built environment is a strategic and systematic process used for effective and sustainable design, construction, operation, maintenance, and upgrade, analysing the resilience of physical and digital assets to achieve an essential level of service, reduce risks, reduce energy consumption, and optimize capital investment over an asset lifecycle in a sustainable environment. This Special Issue aims to bring together the current state-of-the-art-technologies and new developments of BIM (building information modelling) and AI (artificial intelligence) application in all topics relevant to smart asset management for both physical and digital assets in a sustainable built environment. We encourage all researchers working in related areas to submit research papers detailing their work. Papers reporting the outcomes of research at all stages, including literature reviews, data analyses and completed research projects, are welcome. The topics for consideration in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Digital applications in asset management.
- Cyber security of digital assets.
- Application of BIM and Digital Twin in asset management.
- Legal and contractual aspects of asset management.
- Energy consumption in asset management.
- Education and training in asset management.
- Asset performance management in developing countries.
- Resilience of existing infrastructure.
- Impact of policy design in asset management.
- Climate impact on urban infrastructure.
