A Simulation Model for Assessing Construction Projects Sustainability Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sustainability has become a concerned issue within all built environment stakeholders. Construction projects play a major role in the sustainability of the world as any construction project should ensure that the great investment achieves good sustainability performance. It is essential to be able to assess a construction project’s sustainability performance. This paper presents the development of a simulation model by using system dynamics to be used to assess construction projects’ sustainability performance to integrate social, environmental, and economic factors. Whilst this development contributes significantly to the promotion of sustainable construction, it is also important that the levels of sustainability performance actually achieved can be widely understood and easily communicated within the main stakeholders.

Time Prediction Using a Neuro-Fuzzy Model for Projects in the Construction Industry
This paper presents a prediction model based on a new neuro-fuzzy algorithm for estimating time in construction projects. The output of the proposed prediction model, which is employed based on a locally linear neuro-fuzzy (LLNF) model, is useful for assessing a project status at different time horizons. Being trained by a locally linear model tree (LOLIMOT) learning algorithm, the model is int...

Objective: The aim of this paper is to propose a new approach to assess the aggregated impact of risks on the completion cost of a construction project. Such an aggregated impact includes the main impacts of risks as well as the impacts of interactions caused by dependencies among them. Methods: In this study, Monte Carlo simulation and Bayesian Networks methods are combined to present a frame...
