A project risk could be described as anything that could impact the fundamentals of a project performance timeline, performance, or budget. So, risk management, then, could be described as the deliberate processes of identifying, categorizing, prioritizing, and planning for risk occurrences before they disrupt project delivery. This book has contributions from diverse fields in the construction…
The energy transition is one of the key approaches in the effort to halt climate changes, and it has become even more essential in the light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Fostering the energy efficiency and the energy independence of the building sector is a focal aim to move towards a decarbonized society. In this context, building physics and building energy systems are fundamental discipl…
