EMS-98, HAZUS, and Risk-UE provide a good and useful library of fragility curves, but they do not really capture the characteristic of Iranian buildings and construction process.
Requirements for industrial work conditions are determined by human occupancy, building construction and production processes and they should ensure the prevention and removal of heat and noxious substances from the working space.
The process of building construction is chronologically located between both the design and the operation phases.
As the virtual water consumption of China's annual increased building areas reaches 1/4 the direct national water consumption, both direct and indirect water consumed in the process of building construction should gain full attention.
Building information modeling (BIM), which is a technology that allows for the consistent management of information, is regarded as a necessary tool for managing the process of building construction from beginning to end.
Management of change includes many familiar issues, including changes to building construction, building layout, building systems, occupancy, process design, and storage configuration.
Ilyse Fink, a spokeswoman for the department, pointed out, however, that "during the construction process for new buildings, high-rises greater than 15 stories, we do have inspectors go out and, depending on the phase of construction, show up maybe twice a week, every other week".
The construction and building process depends on substantial consumption of natural resources with far-reaching impacts beyond their development area.
