"An inquiry into the current practice of building product data handling by different stakeholders in Austria";
Talk: ENVIBUILD 2016 - Buildings and Environment - Energy Performance, Smart Materials and Buildings, Brno, Czech Republic; 2016-09-22 - 2016-09-23; in: "Buildings and Environment - Energy Performance, Smart Materials and Buildings", M. Kalousek et al. (ed.); Eigenverlag mit wissenschaftlichem Lektorar / Peer Review, Envibuild, (2016), 9 pages.

The timely availability and quality of building product information is critical prerequisite for a successful building delivery process. However, little is known about the processes by which stakeholders acquire and use such data. This contribution documents the results of recent relevant surveys, addressing the building product data processing by planers, clients, and the industry. Web questionnaires and interviews with opinion leaders were conducted. Altogether, over 100 participants provided pertinent insights regarding strengths and weaknesses of the current data representation practices. A comparison of the obtained data with that of an earlier study allows for the documentation of the evolutionary trends in web-based data provision. Most importantly, the results facilitate the formulation of strategies for a more effective presentation and distribution of building product data.
