In order to achieve a life-cycle use of BIMs, it is critical that the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) industry determine if it is moving closer to achieving a mature BIM standard or if organizationally it is still just grazing the surface of what BIM can do.
In 2009, Stanford’s Center for Integrated Facility Engineering (CIFE) developed their own VDC scorecard program which evaluates the maturity of VDC practices on individual construction projects based on their degree of innovation in areas of planning, adoption, technology and performance.
Within these organizations, the largest number of respondents (34%) indicated being in an upper management position in their respective organization or categorized themselves as project managers/project engineers (30%).

Evaluating the Use of Waste Materials in Building Envelopes for Energy Efficiency: A Theoretical and Empirical Study Christena Kamal Hanna1,a*, Abdel-Monteleb Mohammad Ali2,b, and Sayed Shebl Mohamed Shebl3 c 1Architectural Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Assiut University, Egypt 2Architectural Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Assiut University, Egypt 3Housing & Building National Research Center, Cairo, Egypt aarchkristenakaml2030@yahoo.com, bmonteleb@gmail.com, cbsayed_shebl@yahoo.com Keywords: Design-Builder (DB), Simulation, Verification, building envelope, waste material, Thermal Performance, Indoor Temperature.
With the increasing interest in energy-efficient building design, building energy simulation programs are increasingly employed in the design process to help architects and engineers decide which design alternatives save energy more.
Engineers need software tools that can be used in both the conceptual design stage, when little is known about the building; and the last design stages.

Modelling the Response of Simply-Supported Two-Way Reinforced Concrete Slabs Exposed to Fire Emran BAHARUDIN1, a*, Luke BISBY2, b, Tim STRATFORD3, c 1, 2, 3 BRE Centre for Fire Safety Engineering, School of Engineering, University of Edinburgh, UK aE.Baharudin@ed.ac.uk, bLuke.Bisby@ed.ac.uk, cTim.Stratford@ed.ac.uk Keywords: Reinforced concrete slabs, fire tests, finite element modelling, performance-based design.
However, a credible understanding of, and ability to model, the response of concrete structures under fire exposure is crucial to make further progress in the field of structural fire engineering, and to make best use of the flexibility enabled by performance-based fire codes.
The finite element models developed in this study show that it is possible to predict physically realistic deformation and stress histories for two-way spanning reinforced concrete slabs during exposure to fire, but that the models are sensitive to a range of factors, all of which should be better understood in order to credibly predict the full frame response of concrete buildings in fire and to undertake full frame structural fire engineering of concrete buildings with a performance-based mind-set.
