Description:
The main objective of this research is to support decarbonisation of the construction industry by mainly moving the industry toward modular and offsite construction (MOC), carbon-less materials and implementation of circular economy to significantly reduce carbon emissions, electricity consumptions, material waste, and improve safety and productivity in MOC supply chain network. This will involve: (1) developing smart and green MOC supply chain scheduling and planning system; (2) evaluating precast concrete mixtures used in MOC to identify opportunities to reduce the embodied carbon from the materials; (3) developing BIM-based design system for manufacturing and disassembly (DfMD) supporting to design, construction, and deconstruction; and (4) developing digital twin of process and products for the carbon-less MOC supply chain network and management.
