Abstract

The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) in high-density cities lead to the deficiency of healthcare facilities to receive patients. Emergent Modular Construction (EMC) has manifested high efficiency in project construction, considering cost, sustainability, quality control, and schedule management. EMC has been applied in natural catastrophes, or other emergencies, it was given a special name “Fangcang Shelter Hospital” (FSH) during the Covid-19 pandemic, which was utilized as a quarantine camp to isolate patients. However, rare attention has been paid to the management of FSH after rehabilitation or in the post-Covid-19 period, resulting in potential resource waste. An RFID-BIM-enabled framework was proposed to maximize the resource sustainability of construction in the post-calamity period. This method integrates two technologies, Building Information Modeling (BIM), which is a data-rich model to coordinate the production of a building's various systems, and automatic Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), which facilitates the process of detecting, identifying, sorting, and storing the information of the components of the modular unit, such as doors, walls, and steel frames, allowing the reuse of the building elements.
