It is inherently fragmented with a wide range of professionals, trades and materials suppliers utilised to create a building. This fragmentation is intrinsically inefficient. The I3CON research project aims to enable the transformation towards the European Construction industry delivering Industrially produced, Integrated processes and Intelligent building systems that will deliver ultra high performance buildings. Achievements and outcomes from the project will be marked by construction times being cut by 50% and construction costs reduced by 25%. It is not just about construction companies being more productive and profitable; the intention is to create improved life cycle value for the end users where life cycle costs will be reduced by up to 40% with improved flexibility, reduced energy consumption and improved comfort and security. This handbook, “Sustainable Construction: Industrialised, Integrated and Intelligent” is created to showcase some of the recent developments in the area of industrialised, integrated and intelligent sustainable construction. The portfolio of chapters in this book presents ways that industrialised, integrated and intelligent methods and techniques can be used to help the construction industry become more sustainable. This is the second handbook of I3CON and is aimed at helping stakeholders to understand and motivate others into thinking along the I3CON principles. It has been formulated at the outset of the project; a subsequent volume will provide more information at the outturn of the work. The I3CON Project I3CON is an industry-led collaborative research project, part-funded by the EU under Framework 6. Commencing in October 2006, it is a four year project involving 26 partners from 14 countries across Europe. I3CON Handbook 2 The I3CON project consortium launched this book “Sustainable Construction: Industrialised, Integrated and Intelligent - I3CON Handbook 2” to disseminate work carried out within the area of sustainable construction to a wider audience. vi HANDBOOK 2 SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION PORTFOLIO OF BOOK CHAPTERS Under What Conditions are “Industrialization” and “Integration” Useful Concepts in the Building Sector? Stephen H Kendall This chapter examines the meaning of “industrialization” and “integration” as they apply in the construction industry. Argues that some of the principles of open building theory have relevance to these words. Concludes with examples where their use describes what happens during the design, construction and adaptation of buildings. Incorporating Innovation and Sustainability for Achieving Competitive Advantage in Construction Ayman Ahmed Ezzat Othman This chapter defines and explains types of innovation, and considers the drivers for innovation in construction. Reviews the roles of stakeholders in the innovation process and notes potential barriers. Discusses the principles of sustainability in construction. Presents a Competitive Advantage Framework tool for innovation improvements. Integrating Affordable Housing and Sustainable Housing: Bridging Two Merit Goods in Australia George Zillante, Stephen Pullen, Lou Wilson, Kathryn Davidson, Nicholas Chileshe, Jian Zuo, Michael Arman. This chapter considers the issues surrounding the debate about affordable and sustainable housing in Australia. Discusses work on an embryonic model that might offer conceptual and practical direction for the construction of affordable and sustainable housing. Relationship Between AEC+P+F Integration and Sustainability Angelica Ospina-Alvarado, Daniel Castro-Lacouture, Kathy Roper This chapter uses the LEED project rating system to propose the contributions made by
