| Abstract: | In the next few decades, to meet the Paris agreement the Dutch government aims to reduce the environmental impact of the build environment (United Nations, 2015). To achieve this, many houses and buildings have to be updated and/or renovated with new technologies that reduce the energy usage. The updating and renovating of existing constructions give rise to multiple challenges for the construction industry, since each construction is shape and sized differently, many different technologies exist that can be integrated, and the construction periods have to be short. Variety management strategies, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), and Product Line Engineering (PLE) can be implemented to overcome these challenges. However, these methodologies are not yet implemented in the AEC industry. Besides, no approach has been formulated that combines these methodologies for implementation in the system development approach. Therefore, this research answer the following three research questions: 1. "How to combine Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) with variety management strategies and Product Line Engineering (PLE) to support variety of product lines?" 2. "How to integrate Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to support variety management of the product lines of a company in the AEC industry?" 3. "What are the benefits of implementing MBSE compared to current practices in the AEC industry?" |
