PurposeDespite the opportunities of digital twins (DTs) for smart buildings, limited research has been conducted regarding the facility management stage, and this is explained by the high complexity of accurately representing and modelling the physics behind the DTs process. This study thus organises and consolidates the fragmented literature on DTs implementation for smart buildings at the facility management stage by exploring the enablers, applications and challenges and examining the interrelationships amongst them.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review approach is adopted to analyse and synthesise the existing literature relating to the subject topic.FindingsThe study revealed six main categories of enablers of DTs for smart building at the facility management stage, namely perception technologies, network technologies, storage technologies, application technologies, knowledge-building and design processes. Three substantial categories of DTs application for smart buildings were revealed at the facility management stage: efficient operation and service monitoring, efficient building energy management and effective smart building maintenance. Subsequently, the top four major challenges were identified as being “lack of a systematic and comprehensive reference model”, “real-time data integration”, “the complexity and uncertainty nature of real-time data” and “real-time data visualisation”. An integrative framework is finally proposed by examining the interactive relationship amongst the enablers, the applications and the challenges.Practical implicationsThe findings could guide facility managers/engineers to fairly understand the enablers, applications and challenges when DTs are being implemented to improve smart building performance and achieve user satisfaction at the facility management stage.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the knowledge body on DTs by extending the scope of the existing studies to identify the enablers and applications of DTs for smart buildings at the facility management stage and the specific challenges.
目的尽管数字孪生(DTs)为智能建筑带来了机遇,但有关设施管理阶段的研究却十分有限,原因在于准确呈现和模拟 DTs 过程背后的物理现象十分复杂。因此,本研究通过探索推动因素、应用和挑战,并研究它们之间的相互关系,整理和整合了有关在设施管理阶段为智能建筑实施 DTs 的零散文献。研究结果本研究揭示了在设施管理阶段为智能建筑实施 DTs 的六大类推动因素,即感知技术、网络技术、存储技术、应用技术、知识构建和设计流程。在设施管理阶段,研究揭示了智能建筑的三大类数据技术应用:高效运行和服务监控、高效建筑能源管理和高效智能建筑维护。随后,确定了四大主要挑战:"缺乏系统全面的参考模型"、"实时数据集成"、"实时数据的复杂性和不确定性 "和 "实时数据可视化"。研究结果可指导设施管理者/工程师在设施管理阶段实施 DTs 以提高智能建筑性能和用户满意度时,正确理解 DTs 的推动因素、应用和挑战。

PurposeGiven the distinct and unique climates in these countries, research conducted in other parts of the world may not be directly applicable. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct research tailored to the specific climatic conditions of Australia and New Zealand to ensure accuracy and relevance.Design/methodology/approachGiven population growth, urban expansions and predicted climate change, researchers should provide a deeper understanding of microclimatic conditions and outdoor thermal comfort in Australia and New Zealand. The study’s objectives can be classified into three categories: (1) to analyze previous research works on urban microclimate and outdoor thermal comfort in Australia and New Zealand; (2) to highlight the gaps in urban microclimate studies and (3) to provide a summary of recommendations for the neglected but critical aspects of urban microclimate.FindingsThe findings of this study indicate that, despite the various climate challenges in these countries, there has been limited investigation. According to the selected papers, Melbourne has the highest number of microclimatic studies among various cities. It is a significant area for past researchers to examine people’s thermal perceptions in residential areas during the summer through field measurements and surveys. An obvious gap in previous research is investigating the impacts of various urban contexts on microclimatic conditions through software simulations over the course of a year and considering the predicted future climate changes in these countries.Originality/valueThis paper aims to review existing studies in these countries, provide a foundation for future research, identify research gaps and highlight areas requiring further investigation.
目的鉴于这些国家独特的气候条件,在世界其他地区进行的研究可能无法直接适用。设计/方法/途径鉴于人口增长、城市扩张和预测的气候变化,研究人员应深入了解澳大利亚和新西兰的微气候条件和室外热舒适度。本研究的目标可分为三类:(1)分析以往有关澳大利亚和新西兰城市微气候和室外热舒适度的研究成果;(2)强调城市微气候研究中存在的不足;(3)针对城市微气候中被忽视但至关重要的方面提出建议摘要。根据所选论文,墨尔本的微气候研究在各城市中数量最多。对于过去的研究人员来说,通过实地测量和调查来研究人们在夏季居住区的热感知是一个重要领域。以往研究的一个明显不足是,通过软件模拟一年的时间,并考虑到这些国家预测的未来气候变化,调查各种城市环境对微气候条件的影响。

A proposed digital transformation model for implementation by digital leaders 供数字领导者实施的拟议数字转型模式
IF 3.6 Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2024-03-20 DOI: 10.1108/sasbe-11-2023-0369

PurposeThe purpose of this study was threefold: to trace the extent to which digital transformation strategies are being implemented in organizations; to statistically measure, validate, predict and examine how digital leaders perceive a synthesized digital transformation model (DTM); and to explore whether leaders with different demographic characteristics perceive the DTM similarly.Design/methodology/approachThe study authors surveyed 778 leaders/managers from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to assess the synthetized DTM consisting of four dimensions and nine perception constructs that represent how leaders manage employees in a digital environment. The survey questions were adapted from the 2014 Westerman leading digital book published in Harvard business press.FindingsThe general findings revealed that UAE organizations that were already in the digital transformation stage before COVID-19 reacted and responded extremely quickly to speed up the implementation of their respective digital transformation strategies. We concluded that our proposed and synthetized DTM is valid and predictable, and can be adapted to trace the stages of digital transformation by leaders. A positive relationship was found between the DTM’s four dimensions and their related constructs as perceived by the leaders, regardless of differences in their demographic characteristics.Originality/valueThe synthesized digital transformation model is unique in that the authors believe there is no other research that purports to synthesize, validate and correlate using the digital transformation campus dimensions and its related constructs, reflecting leaders' perceptions toward adopting this campus. As well, this is the first UAE study to explore and compare the perspectives of leaders on their digital practices after COVID-19 in a country that has an established IT infrastructure.
本研究的目的有三:追踪数字化转型战略在组织中的实施程度;统计测量、验证、预测和研究数字化领导者如何感知综合数字化转型模型(DTM);探讨不同人口特征的领导者对 DTM 的感知是否相似。研究作者调查了阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)的 778 名领导者/管理者,以评估综合 DTM,该 DTM 包括四个维度和九个感知结构,代表了领导者如何在数字化环境中管理员工。调查问题改编自 2014 年哈佛商学院出版社出版的《Westerman 数字领导力》一书。调查结果总体结果显示,在 COVID-19 之前已经进入数字化转型阶段的阿联酋组织反应和应对速度极快,加快了各自数字化转型战略的实施。我们的结论是,我们提出并综合的 DTM 具有有效性和可预测性,可用于追踪领导者的数字化转型阶段。无论领导者的人口统计学特征有何不同,我们都发现 DTM 的四个维度与领导者认为的相关构建之间存在正相关关系。 原创性/价值 本综合数字化转型模型是独一无二的,因为作者认为目前还没有其他研究旨在利用数字化转型校园维度及其相关构建进行综合、验证和关联,以反映领导者对采用这种校园的看法。此外,这也是阿联酋的第一项研究,旨在探索和比较在一个拥有成熟 IT 基础设施的国家中,领导者在 COVID-19 之后对其数字化实践的看法。

PurposeIn the realm of construction education, the investigation of immersive learning and extended reality (XR) technologies has experienced a surge in recent times. Nevertheless, there remains a notable lack of comprehension surrounding the most efficient ways to integrate these technologies into tailored teaching approaches for vocational construction training. This research study aims to pinpoint the key factors that construction vocational education and training (VET) providers must consider when introducing XR technologies into their training schemes.Design/methodology/approachThis study conducted an in-depth literature review to develop an initial framework to summarise training, technology and institutional factors influencing the educational-technology integration of XR technologies in VET. In addition, this study utilised a Delphi technique, including semi-structured group discussions and two rounds of online follow-up questionnaires, to capture VET experts’ judgements on the importance of decision-making criteria.FindingsThis study has identified the critical factors to be considered in the VET sector when adopting XR technologies. Findings revealed institutional factors were the most important criteria for participants, followed by training and technology factors.Research limitations/implicationsThe current decision-making process focuses on selecting XR technologies rather than evaluating their performance after implementation. Therefore, more research is needed to monitor the implementation of this technology in curricula from a senior management perspective. This will help to understand the cost and value factors related to the value proposition of XR technologies in courses.Practical implicationsTo ensure the success and long-term viability of the technology-curriculum interface, it is important to consider factors such as the availability of technical and educational support, data security and cost-effectiveness. It is also crucial to focus on ease of use and content development that emphasises instruction to create engaging content for learners.Originality/valueThe potential impact of this study is underpinned by two facts: (1) it constitutes the first effort made in the field to comprehensively elicit VET expert judgements in relation to XR technologies, and (2) it offers decision-making criteria that are at play in seeking to take advantage of high-cost technologies that are rapidly evolving. While there is no simple checklist for XR implementation, this study takes a step further to identify significant factors influencing XR integration in vocational construction training.
目的 在建筑教育领域,对沉浸式学习和扩展现实(XR)技术的研究近来急剧增加。然而,对于如何最有效地将这些技术整合到建筑职业培训的定制教学方法中,人们仍明显缺乏了解。本研究旨在明确建筑职业教育与培训(VET)机构在将 XR 技术引入其培训计划时必须考虑的关键因素。本研究进行了深入的文献综述,以制定一个初步框架,总结影响职业教育与培训中 XR 技术教育与技术整合的培训、技术和机构因素。此外,本研究还采用了德尔菲技术,包括半结构化小组讨论和两轮在线跟踪问卷调查,以了解职业教育与培训专家对决策标准重要性的判断。 研究结果本研究确定了职业教育与培训部门在采用 XR 技术时需要考虑的关键因素。研究局限/影响目前的决策过程侧重于选择 XR 技术,而不是在实施后评估其性能。因此,需要开展更多的研究,从高级管理层的角度监测该技术在课程中的实施情况。实际意义为确保技术-课程接口的成功和长期可行性,必须考虑技术和教育支持的可用性、数据安全性和成本效益等因素。原创性/价值本研究的潜在影响基于两个事实:(1)这是该领域首次全面征求职业教育与培训专家对 XR 技术的判断;(2)它提供了在寻求利用快速发展的高成本技术时的决策标准。虽然 XR 实施没有简单的清单,但本研究进一步确定了影响 XR 融入职业建筑培训的重要因素。

PurposeThis research aims to systematically review studies on significant risks for Critical Infrastructure Projects (CIPs) from selected top-tier academic journals from 2011 to 2023.Design/methodology/approachIn this research, a three-step systematic literature review methodology was employed to analyse 55 selected articles on Critical Infrastructure Risks (CIRs) from well-regarded and relevant academic journals published from 2011 to 2023.FindingsThe findings highlight a growing research focus on CIRs from 2011 to 2023. A total of 128 risks were identified and grouped into ten distinct categories: construction, cultural, environmental, financial, legal, management, market, political, safety and technical risks. In addition, literature reviews combined with questionnaire surveys were more frequently used to identify CIRs than any other method. Moreover, oil and gas projects were the subjects most often explored in the reviewed papers. Furthermore, it was observed that publications from Iran, the USA and China dominated CIRs research, making significant contributions, accounting for 49.65% of the analysed articles.Research limitations/implicationsThis research specifically focuses on five types of CIPs (i.e. roadways, bridges, water supply systems, dams and oil and gas projects). Other CIPs like cyber-physical systems or electric power systems, were not considered in this research.Practical implicationsGovernments and contracting firms can benefit from the findings of this study by understanding the significant risks associated with the execution of CIPs, irrespective of the nation, industry or type of project. The results of this investigation can offer construction professionals valuable insights to formulate and implement risk response plans in the early stages of a project.Originality/valueAs a novel literature review related to CIRs, it lays the groundwork for future research and deepens the understanding of the multi-faceted effects of these risks, as well as sets practical response strategies.
本研究采用了三步系统文献综述法,分析了从 2011 年到 2023 年出版的知名相关学术期刊中选取的 55 篇关于关键基础设施风险(CIRs)的文章。研究结果研究结果表明,从 2011 年到 2023 年,关于关键基础设施风险的研究重点不断增加。共确定了 128 项风险,并将其分为十个不同的类别:建筑、文化、环境、金融、法律、管理、市场、政治、安全和技术风险。此外,与其他方法相比,文献综述与问卷调查相结合的方法更常用于识别 CIR。此外,石油和天然气项目也是文献综述中最常探讨的主题。此外,研究还发现,伊朗、美国和中国的出版物在 CIRs 研究中占主导地位,做出了重要贡献,占分析文章的 49.65%。本研究未考虑其他 CIP,如网络物理系统或电力系统。 实际意义无论国家、行业或项目类型如何,政府和承包公司都可以从本研究的结果中获益,了解与执行 CIP 相关的重大风险。本研究的结果可为建筑专业人员提供宝贵的见解,帮助他们在项目早期阶段制定和实施风险应对计划。原创性/价值作为一项与 CIR 相关的新颖文献综述,本研究为今后的研究奠定了基础,加深了对这些风险的多方面影响的理解,并制定了切实可行的应对策略。
