Drivers For Building Retrofitting Practice: A Systematic Review (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ejidike, C. C., Mewomo, M. C., Agbajor, F. D., & Olawumi, T. O. (2022, October). Drivers For Building Retrofitting Practice: A Systematic Review. Presented at 8th International Conference on Development and Investment in Infrastructure (DII-2022), Johannesburg, South Africa

Retrofitting an existing building offers a significant opportunity to improve its performance to solve the problems associated with energy consumption, occupant thermal discomfort, and cost of operation in the building, It is essential to understand...

Development of Sustainable Building Design in Hong Kong: Exploring Lean Capabilities (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lam, E., Chan, A., Olawumi, T., Wong, I., & Kazeem, K. (2022, December). Development of Sustainable Building Design in Hong Kong: Exploring Lean Capabilities. Presented at WATEFCON2022: Water Resources Resilience for Small Island Developing States (SIDS), University of the West Indies, Trinidad & Tobago

When a building design fails to meet the end-users' requirements after construction, it is regarded as a faulty design. Faulty designs often lead to renovation, demolition, and material waste. The need to implement innovative tools and systems that c... Read More about Development of Sustainable Building Design in Hong Kong: Exploring Lean Capabilities.

Assessment of symmetries and asymmetries on barriers to circular economy adoption in the construction industry towards zero waste: A survey of international experts (2022)
Journal Article
Oluleye, B. I., Chan, D. W., Olawumi, T. O., & Saka, A. B. (2023). Assessment of symmetries and asymmetries on barriers to circular economy adoption in the construction industry towards zero waste: A survey of international experts. Building and Environment, 228, Article 109885. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2022.109885

This study evaluates simultaneously the symmetries and asymmetries on the classification of barriers to circular economy (CE) adoption in the building construction industry (BCI) of developing and developed economies. This is crucial because the vagu...

Developing a hybrid risk assessment method for prioritizing the critical risks of temporary accommodation sites after destructive earthquakes (2022)
Journal Article
Dabiri, M., Sarvari, H., Chan, D. W., & Olawumi, T. O. (2022). Developing a hybrid risk assessment method for prioritizing the critical risks of temporary accommodation sites after destructive earthquakes. Habitat International, 128, Article 102667. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.habitatint.2022.102667

One of the most critical challenges in preventive planning and disaster management is the multitudinous uncertainties involved in decision-making. Previous studies showed the usefulness of intuitionistic fuzzy sets for considering uncertainties in de...

Barriers to circular economy adoption and concomitant implementation strategies in building construction and demolition waste management: A PRISMA and interpretive structural modeling approach (2022)
Journal Article
Oluleye, B. I., Chan, D. W., & Olawumi, T. O. (2022). Barriers to circular economy adoption and concomitant implementation strategies in building construction and demolition waste management: A PRISMA and interpretive structural modeling approach. Habitat International, 126(August), 102615. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.habitatint.2022.102615

Waste generated by building construction and demolition (BCD) activities contributes to the major proportion of urban solid waste. A large amount of the waste is still sent to the landfill or downcycled globally. The adoption of circular economy (CE)...

Circular economy research on building construction and demolition waste: A review of current trends and future research directions (2022)
Journal Article
Oluleye, B. I., Chan, D. W., Saka, A. B., & Olawumi, T. O. (2022). Circular economy research on building construction and demolition waste: A review of current trends and future research directions. Journal of Cleaner Production, 357, Article 131927. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2022.131927

The circular economy (CE) paradigm has piqued public interests worldwide as a significant innovative attempt to conserve finite resources, reduce waste, and shift away from the linear economy. An emerging shift to a CE model is unavoidable for resour...
