Many housing studies and education programs in Korea have focused on design, planning, and construction. Houses and nearby environments are a large portion of the total assets each household possesses. However, effective and efficient housing management of housing assets has been relatively neglected. Facility management can be defined as the practice of coordinating the physical environment with the people and process (work of the organization). The purpose of this study is to figure out the construct of courses of Housing majors in the College of Human Ecology in Korea and investigate facilities management programs and courses provided in the U.S. to explore the possibility of merging facility management perspectives and educational programs into housing studies. Many courses provided in facility management programs have human ecology perspectives in terms of a multidisciplinary approach, life cycle commitment, and various stakeholders building physical, social, and ecological milieu. By merging and supplementing the existing curricula of housing and consumer studies, facility nanagement programs and courses could be a possible alternative to specialized housing education programs.

The software development life cycle (SDLC) is a procedure used to develop a software system that meets both the customer's needs and real-world requirements. The first phase of the SDLC involves creating a conceptual model that represents the involved domain in reality. In requirements engineering, building such a model is considered a bridge to the design and construction phases. However, this type of model can also serve as a basic model for identifying business processes and how these processes are interconnected to achieve the final result. This paper focuses on process modeling in organizations, per se, beyond its application in the SDLC when an organization needs further documentation to meet its growth needs and address regular changes over time. The resultant process documentation is created alongside the daily operations of the business process. The model provides visualization and documentation of processes to assist in defining work patterns, avoiding redundancy, or even designing new processes. In this paper, a proposed diagrammatic representation models each process using one diagram comprising five actions and two types of relations to build three levels of depiction. These levels consist of a static description, events, and the behavior of the modeled process. The viability of a thinging machine is demonstrated by re-modeling some examples from the literature.

This study was conducted to understand research trends of HR Analytics (HRA) in Korea and to suggest future research directions. First, a comparative analysis was conducted by classifying six areas of recruitment on-board, work environment, performance evaluation, retention, and exit/retirement building on the employee life cycle framework. The results indicate that first, the distribution of detailed research topics in Korean HRA research has similar to that of international research. Second, Korean HRA studies related to employee training and development function are insufficient. Third, the scope and the method of machine learning are becoming enriched. Finally Korean HRA studies are still in the technical domain and toward entering the predictive analysis domain.

Construction is a collaborative endeavor. The complexity in delivering construction projects successfully is impacted by the effective collaboration needs of a multitude of stakeholders throughout the project life-cycle. Technologies such as Building Information Modelling and relational project delivery approaches such as Alliancing and Integrated Project Delivery have developed to address this conundrum. However, with the onset of the pandemic, the digital economy has surged world-wide and advances in technology such as in the areas of machine learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have grown deep roots across specializations and domains to the point of matching its capabilities to the human mind. Several recent studies have both explored the role of AI in the construction process and highlighted its benefits. In contrast, literature in the organization studies field has highlighted the fear that tasks currently done by humans will be done by AI in future. Motivated by these insights and with the understanding that construction is a labour intensive sector where knowledge is both fragmented and predominantly tacit in nature, this paper explores the integration of AI in construction processes across project phases from planning, scheduling, execution and maintenance operations using literary evidence and experiential insights. The findings show that AI can complement human skills rather than provide a substitute for them. This preliminary study is expected to be a stepping stone for further research and implementation in practice.

Substantial research has been performed on the data standards and exchanges in the AEC/FM industry over the past several years. The growing popularity of BIM technology is based heavily upon a perception that the technology can facilitate the sharing and reuse of information during a project life-cycle. Although many researchers and practitioners are in agreement about the potential applicability and benefit of BIM in construction, it is still unclear why BIM is adopted, and what factors enhance implementation of BIM. Thus, BIM acceptance and use remains a central concern of BIM research and practice. Therefore, we propose the key factors affecting the acceptance of BIM in construction organizations using factor analysis. The key factors for BIM acceptance are identified through a literature review in TAM (Davis 1989) and related theories, and consolidated by interviews and pilot studies with professionals in construction industry. Based on the factors, a questionnaire was designed and sent out to construction organizations such as contractors, architects, and engineers in Korea. Total 148 completed questionnaires were retrieved. Using factor analysis, key factors were grouped into six dimensions. These findings will clarify what the highly prioritized factors are, and can also be used in an assessment tool for the performance of BIM utilization.

The Public Data Act mandates that every public institution must make efforts to facilitate convenient access to public data for all and take necessary measures to universally expand the right to use such data. Furthermore, it specifies that the head of a public institution must provide the data held and managed by that institution to the citizens. The Construction Project Information Disclosure Service aims to increase the utilization of data within the Construction CALS System, creating new added value by disclosing information and fostering communication. This service seeks to enhance public interest and transparency, support the creation of new businesses based on construction project data, and stimulate related industries. Since 2019, a total of 26 types of information have been disclosed through this service. As the volume of disclosed information continues to increase, there has been a consistent demand for reducing burden on data providers and enhancing user functionality. This study analyzes the current status of the Construction CALS Information Disclosure System to identify its existing challenges. Subsequently, it establishes a systematic approach to the data opening process and proposes enhancements to information disclosure and search functionalities for addressing these challenges.

Recently, much attention has been increasingly paid to the efficiency of the delivery system in order to manage construction project in a smooth and effective way. The integrated plan in consideration of the life cycle of building is required for the effective and integrated management of information in a huge amount. To this end, collaboration between each field is indispensable from the beginning of project. But there is a limitation that the designer and the constructor sign the contract separately in the conventional delivery system. In the US, the recent trend is that the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) has been introduced to improve the effectiveness of project management in an increasing number of the cases where project is implemented by utilizing the IPD. In Korea, there is also an increasing need to introduce the IPD for the integrated project management. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to examine and analyze the laws and the contracts that are applied to domestic cases of placing order and signing contract based on the concept and principle of the IPD before the actual introduction of the IPD. Based on such examination and analysis, this study intends to figure out the constraints to the introduction of the IPD. It is expected that the results of this study will be used as basic data for IPD-related study in the future.

Recently, due to the rapid spread and continuation of COVID-19, customer demand for health and hygiene has increased, requiring the development of new products that express antiviral and antibacterial properties. In particular, viruses are much smaller in size than bacteria and have a fast propagation speed, making it difficult to kill. POSCO has developed eco-friendly PCM color coated steel sheets with excellent antiviral properties by introducing inorganic composite materials to the color coating layer on the surface of Zn-Al-Mg alloy plated steels. The virus is not only destroyed by adsorption of metal ions released from the surface of the coating film, but is also further promoted by the generation of reactive oxygen species by the reaction of metal ions and moisture. As a result of evaluating the developed products under the International Standard Evaluation Act, the microbicidal activity was 99.9% for viruses, and 99.99% for bacteria and 0% fungi. In particular, excellent results were also shown in the durability evaluation for life cycle of the product. The developed product was applied as a wall of school classrooms and toilets and ducts for building air conditioning, resulting in excellent results. Developed products are being applied for construction and home appliances to practice POSCO's corporate citizenship.

This study analyzed the feasibility of the air source heat pump in residential buildings based on operational performance and carbon emissions. The operational performance and carbon emissions were compared between a gas boiler and an air source heat pump by calculating the annual heating and hot water load based on the 21A and 36A models for actual residential buildings. For the operational performance of the air source heat pump, the lowest (2.3) and highest COP (5.9) were attained during the winter and summer seasons, respectively. The carbon emissions depend on the amount of energy consumed during operations. An air source heat pump consumed 65.10% and 65.4% less energy per year in the 21A and 36A models, respectively compared to the existing gas boiler. Consequently, for air source heat pump carbon emissions were also reduced by 13.3% and 15.1% per year for the 21A and 36A models, respectively. It shows the effectiveness of applying an air source heat pump compared to an existing gas boiler.
