The built environment needs continuous adaptation to global population changes, the adverse effects of climate change, and evolving occupant requirements. To meet these evolving challenges, architects and engineers require access to highfidelity design simulation tools to accurately predict complex behavior in buildings and cities. SimScale enables architects and engineers to integrate physics-based simulation into their entire design workflow starting from the earliest stages where critical design decisions are made. Rapid assessments of the microclimate impacts on design for example, are now possible using the simple and intuitive workflow in SimScale

Heightened volatility in global supply chains will persist into the future. This has major implications for the construction equipment industry. Based on data from both developed and developing markets, we identify five categories of disruption that are causing component scarcity in the short, medium and long term: geopolitical, structural, environmental, operational and reputational disruptions. For most industry players, geopolitical and structural risks are top of mind.

Healthier spaces mean healthier people. The pandemic has given us all a chance to help rebuild the idea of healthy buildings from the ground up—not just until we make it through the pandemic, but long term. Keeping people safe now hinges on implementing a fact-based, expert developed, and dynamic approach to occupant wellness: one that helps mitigate both air and surface based viral transmission risks, while also increasing efficiencies and the financial health of your operations.

Automation in Construction is an international journal for the publication of original research papers. The journal publishes refereed material on all aspects pertaining to the use of Information Technologies in Design, Engineering, Construction Technologies, and Maintenance and Management of Constructed Facilities. The scope of Automation in Construction is broad, encompassing all stages of the construction life cycle from initial planning and design, through construction of the facility, its operation and maintenance, to the eventual dismantling and recycling of buildings and engineering structures.

Engineering and construction (E&C) companies have traditionally accepted this volatility as a result of the inherent complexity of jobs: Construction projects bring together contractors, suppliers, equipment, labor, and global supply chains that are more precarious than ever. But one root problem is that most E&C companies are still trying to juggle this high level of complexity with a relatively low level of technology adoption. The construction industry lags far behind nearly all others in digitization, spending less than 2% of revenue on Information Technology
