The purpose of this research is to evaluate the health performance of existing buildings which completed green remodeling using the WELL Building Standard developed by Delos in the USA. The features and the level of improvement in health were examined and the results were as follows. As a result of comprehensive evaluation of the health performance of the target building, the health performance after green remodeling improvement was improved by 17.3% compared to before green remodeling. As a result of applying the alternatives for improving health performance, improvements were 22.9% by Alternative 1, 28.8% by Alternative 2, and 28.7% by Alternative 3. If the improvement ratio with respect to the construction cost were compared, Alternative 1 was the best followed by Alternative 2. Finally, the cost effectiveness of improving health performance against construction cost were best in the order of self-closing door installation, airtight seal, and pest inspections.

Construction projects, including housing, are carried out over long periods of time. According to changes to the construction period, the cost of input materials and wages also changes. Therefore appropriate management is important in order to minimize cost risks caused by fluctuations in prices. In Korea, housing units are usually sold in lots prior to construction completion. Therefore, careful management of input elements such as materials and equipment that are sensitive to price fluctuations is very important. This study deals with how the price fluctuation of materials, labor, and equipment influences the change of housing cost and seeks a way for cost management through identifying key resources sensitive to price fluctuation. As a result, a change to the housing cost index multiplies depending on cost changes of materials and labor together. Labor costs are a major factor on the housing cost index. In addition, certain types of materials and labor input to housing construction greatly influence price fluctuations. Thus, it is found that managing those main cost factors is the key for effective cost management.

Rapid prototyping (RP) technologies have been widely used to reduce the lead-time and development cost of new products. $VLM-_{ST}$ process has been developed to overcome the currently developed RP technologies such as a large building time, a high building cost, an additional post-processing and a large apparatus cost. $VLM-_{ST}$ process requires an additional human interaction due to the manual stacking and bonding. Hence, building time, building cost and the part quality are dependent on the skill of labor. A novel RP process, fully automated $VLM-_{ST}$ process ($VLM-_{ST}$), has been developed to improve building efficiency of the process and the human dependency of the part. The objective of this work is to propose a $VLM-_{ST}$ process and to develop an apparatus for implementation of the process. $VLM-_{ST}$ process and its apparatus have various technical novelties such as two step cutting using a rotating table, an automatic stacking method using two pilot holes and two reference shapes, a concept of automatic unit shape layer (AUSL), and an automatic bonding using the bonding roller and building magazine. In order to examine the efficiency and the applicability of the proposed process, various three-dimensional shapes, such as a piston, a human head shape and a human bust shape, were fabricated on the apparatus.

The Construction industry in Yemen confronts many development constraints, such as the inadequate implementation of appropriate building materials and labour construction technologies. Thus, this research looks over building materials and labour construction technologies used on the local housing construction projects by verifying the percentage of construction expenditure consumed by the main construction components (Materials, Labour and Overhead and Profit), along with the implemented construction technologies. The paper conducts a survey to acquire the cost distribution of the construction main components. The outcomes of the survey were discussed; the discussion was supported by literature on similar issues from some countries. The outcomes confirmed the relatively limited percentage in labour cost and profit, and the elevated percentage of construction materials cost, which are because of the excessive and inappropriate use of materials. What's more, established that the excessively redundant unskilled labours are not effectively engaged in the construction activities, this is due to the tendency of the market in using labour-base technologies. This paper is to recommend a suitable policies and strategies has to be used to decrease cost by using efficiently appropriate construction practice and local materials, moreover take advantage of excessive labour to reduce unemployment.

The Guangzhou International Finance Centre (IFC) is a landmark building that symbolizes the emerging international strength of Guangzhou, China's third largest city. It is also one of the dual iconic towers along the main axis of Guangzhou Zhujiang New Town. Arup adopted a total engineering approach in embracing sustainability and aiming at high efficiency solutions based on performance-based design principles covering structures, building services, fire engineering, vertical transportation, and façade performance to constitute an efficient and cost-effective overall building design. Through dynamic integration of architectural and engineering principles, Guangzhou IFC represents a pioneering supertall building in China. It adopts a diagrid exoskeleton structural form that is clearly expressed through the building's façade and gives the building its distinctive character. The aerodynamic shape of the building not only presents the aesthetic quality of elegant simplicity, but also reduces the effects of wind, thereby reducing the size and weight of the structure. State-of-the-art advanced engineering methods, such as optimization techniques and nonlinear finite element modelling, were applied in parallel with large-scale experimental programs to achieve an efficient and high-performance design taking into account the constructability and cost-effectiveness for a project of this scale.

In recent years, building commissioning has often been part of a standard delivery practice in construction, particularly in the high-performance green building market, to ensure the building is designed and constructed per owner's requirements. Commissioning, therefore, intends to provide quality assurance that buildings perform as intended by the design and often helps achieve energy savings. Commissioning, however, is not as widely adopted as its potential benefits are perceived. Owners are still skeptical of the cost-effectiveness claims by energy management and commissioning professionals. One of the issues in the current commissioning practice is that not every project is guaranteed to benefit from the commissioning services. This, coupled with its added cost, the commissioning service is not acquired with great acceptance and confidence by building owners. To overcome this issue, this paper presents a unique methodology to enhance owner's predicting capability of the degree of success of commissioning service using the Bayesian theorem. The paper analyzes a situation where a future building owner wants to use a pre-commissioning in an attempt to refine the success rate of the future commissioned building performance. The author proposes the Bayesian theorem based framework to improve the current commissioning practice where building owners are not given accurate information how much successful their projects are going to be in terms of energy savings from the commissioning service. What should be provided to the building owners who consider their buildings to be commissioned is that they need some indicators how likely their projects benefit from the commissioning process. Based on this, the owners can make better informed decisions whether or not they acquire a commissioning service.

현장의 안전사고율을 낮추려는 지속적인 노력에도 불구하고 여전히 건설산업은 치명적인 사고율이 높은 고위험군으로 분류된다. 건설 안전사고율을 낮추기 위한 방법 중 하나로 설계 단계에서 안전위해요소를 관리하는 DFS(Design for safety)를 적용하고 있다. 그러나 설계자의 제한된 지식 때문에 설계 결과가 건설, 운영 및 유지보수와 같은 project lifecycle 동안 어떤 위험을 초래하는지 설계자는 인식하지 못하는 경우가 많다. 만일 설계자가 건물의 형상이 안전사고율에 미치는 영향과 이에 대응하는 안전관리비에 미치는 영향을 이해한다면, 효과적인 DFS를 진행할 수 있다. 안전관리비중 가장 많은 비중을 차지하는 낙하방지 그물망, 안전 펜스와 같은 안전시설비는 동일 건축면적이라 하더라도 건물의 형상에 따라 달라질 것이다. 본 연구의 목적은 건물의 외주길이가 안전관리비에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 아파트(apartment building)를 대상으로 건물의 외주길이가 안전관리비에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 본 연구를 위해 21개의 프로젝트 데이터를 수집한 후 외주길이와 건물형상계수, 건축면적을 독립변수로 안전관리비를 종속변수로 분석한다. 그 결과 외주길이와 안전관리비의 상관관계는 R²가 0.876, 형상계수와 안전관리비의 상관관계는 R²가 0.801, 건축면적과 안전관리비의 상관관계는 R²가 0.792로 매우 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

Project cost is an important concern in any construction project. Although there has been a lot of studies on factors affecting the cost of construction projects, there seems no consensus as what cost factors have direct influence on the cost of civil engineering projects. This study therefore aims to bridge the current knowledge gap by examining quantity surveyors' perception of the factor structure among nineteen costing attributes identified based on literature review. Questionnaire was used to elicit responses from quantity surveyors working in the Hong Kong construction industry. Principal component analysis is conducted to extract the factor structure of the cost attributes and the attributes are grouped into three factor components, namely the contract management factor, the project management factor and the monetary value factor. Understanding these cost impact factors could be crucial in managing civil engineering projects, since it allows the project stakeholders and quantity surveyors to take precautionary steps to identify the cost management problems and areas for improvement and could even help to avoid cost deviations in engineering projects.

This paper discusses the estimation of construction cost of high fluidity concrete using segregation reducing type superplasicizer with 350kgf/cm2 of design strength and 60$\pm$5cm of slump flow in order to verify the cost down effect of high fluidity concrete compared with that of plain concrete with 350kgf/cm2 of design strength and 18cm of slump and with 210kgf/cm2 of design strength and 15cm of slump. According to research, under same strength levels, although material cost of high fluidity concrete is somewhat higher than that of plain concrete due to segregation reducing type superplasticizer, labor cost and equipment cost of high fluidity concrete is cheaper than that of plain concrete. However, based on the strength differences, high fluidity concrete shows lower material cost, labor cost and equipment cost than that of plain concrete due to decreasing in size of member and re-bar caused by high strength development of concrete.

건축공사의 공사비 절감은 시공단계보다 사업초기단계 및 설계단계에서 정확한 공사비 예측을 함으로써 더욱 효율적으로 절감될 수 있다. 하지만 현행 공공 건설공사의 공사비 산정 및 관리는 실시설계 이후로 집중되어 있어, 계산견적을 중심으로 실시되는 기획 및 기본설계단계에서의 사업비관리는 매우 취약하다고 볼 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 현행 공사비 산정 방법의 문제점 및 실적공사비 사례정보 분석하여 기본설계단계에서 구체적 비용 계획을 세우고 이에 부합되는 설계가 진행되는지 검토 가능한 공사비 산정모델 개발을 위한 예비적 연구를 수행하였다.
