The construction industry
needs to place more emphasis on knowledge issues if it is to achieve its
targets of more sustainable processes, materials and products. Within
certain projects knowledge about sustainability is being developed
continuously, but there is little understanding of the best ways to foster
the creation of this knowledge, less about how to capture such knowledge,
and even less about how to ensure that knowledge is available quickly and
easily to other individuals, companies and projects.
C-SanD aims to develop, test and implement the following
to aid this task:
- software tools which allow capture and retrieval of relevant knowledge:
- to embed these tools in
working methods that both enable the creation of new knowledge
about sustainable construction – that is allow the reflection upon project
experience by the teams drawn from different professional interests and
companies- and for accessing and incorporating such knowledge into ongoing
activities;
- such an approach, driven by
knowledge, requires architectures for the sharing of knowledge
within companies, and also for the controlled sharing of knowledge between
companies.
