Integrating Information in Built Environments
Información sobre este eBook
The book provides a broad view of some of the opportunities and challenges brought by integrating information across organisational and system boundaries in the built environment industry. Chapters cover a large range of topics and are separated into three sections: resources, processes and added value. They provide a much-needed international perspective on a current global evolution in the industry and present leading original research and valuable lessons for researchers, industry practitioners, government clients and policy makers across the industry.
Key features include:
- a broad range of topics that are not covered elsewhere in the literature;
- contributions from a diverse group of industry research leaders from across the globe;
- exemplar case studies providing real-world examples of where information integration has been a key factor for success or lack thereof has been at the root cause of failure;
- an analysis of future priority areas for research and development investment as well as their strategic implications for public and private decision-makers;
- the book will deliver innovation in best practice methodology for information sharing across disciplines and between the design, construction and asset management sectors.
