Special Issue Information
Much like everything else, the architectural, engineering, construction, operations and maintenance sector is undergoing a digital transformation. Technologies that hithertofore were restricted to digital solutions are permeating the pre- and post-construction building industry. We have learnt a great deal from embracing building information modelling. Particularly in the last ten years, we have witnessed an unprecedented joint effort to remove the various barriers, preventing the advancement of digitalisation. Concomitantly, we are witnessing significant contextual changes, driving and reinforcing the need for digitalisation. Organisations can now create data ecosystems to capture and analyse data trails from environments and building users, and determine how to enhance building use and performance. These building data ecosystems seed the development of intelligent cities when connected.
