About the Author
Dr. Jian Zuo is a Professor in Sustainable Construction at the School of Architecture and Civil Engineering, The University of Adelaide. His main research interests are related to sustainable built environment via both technical (e.g. smart technologies and prefabrication) and managerial (e.g. policy intervention and behavioural change) means. In particular, he has undertaken extensive research in circular economy in built environment such as construction and demolition waste recycling and management. As the lead researcher, he has involved in a series of competitive grants in Australia such as Discovery Projects and Linkage Projects funded by the Australian Research Council as well as many other national key projects. He has long been engaged in the study of ecological towns, green buildings and sustainable development of the construction industry. He has published more than 100 papers in top journals, including more than 80 journal papers indexed by SCI and SSCI, Google Scholar indexed more than 23,000, and the H-index is 83. Professor Zuo serves as editor in a number of top journals such as Journal of Cleaner Production, Ecological Indicators and Journal of Green Building.
Professor Liyin Shen is the Qiantang Distinguished Professor and the Chief Scientist in the Research Institute for Planning and Sustainability in Hangzhou City University. He is also the Director of International Research Centre for Sustainable Built Environment in Chongqing University. Professor Shen has been focusing on research in the discipline of sustainable built environment with specific interests on low carbon city, urban carrying capacity and experience mining for sustainable urban development. He is on the lists of Highly Cited Researcher International published by Clarivate, The Most Cited Chinese Research Scholar published by Elsevier, and The World’s Top 2% Scientists (Career & Singleyr) published by Stanford University. Professor Shen was the Founding President of the Chinese Research Institute of Construction Management (CRIOCM) and the Founding Editor-in-Chief for the International Journal of Construction Management (IJCM). He holds a number of external appointments as Honorary Professor and Visiting Professor internationally.
Dr Ruidong Chang joined the University of Adelaide in 2020, after working as a joint research fellow at Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore, and Department of Building, National University of Singapore, and an assistant professor at Bond University. He has participated in various research projects funded or supported by institutions such as the Building Construction Authority of Singapore, National Science Foundation of China and International Energy Agency. He has published more than 70 journal articles and is an editorial member of Journal of Green Building, and Frontiers in Built Environment. Ruidong Chang conducts interdisciplinary research linking construction engineering, computer science, environmental governance and management science to address grand environmental challenges facing the construction sector. His research focus is 1) at the project level, building a multi-dimensional (Materials-Energy-Emissions nexus) environmental monitoring (what happened) and modelling (what could happen) systems for built environments through advanced data collection and processing techniques such as Building Information Modelling. Based on this foundation, Ruidong then looks at 2) the adoption decision making of environmental-friendly techniques e.g. solar PV and prefabrications in buildings by households, construction firms and the industry, using various management and behaviour theories such as the socio-technical transition theory, innovation diffusion theory and the theory of planned behaviour. All of these areas are examined under the direction of Construction 5.0, namely how to leverage new technologies to enable sustainable construction."About the title" may belong to another edition of this title.
