Using Bioretention Retrofits to Meet Virginia’s New Stormwater Management Regulations: A Case Study

Toward better practices in infiltration regulations for urban stormwater management

Infiltration of runoff at the plot-scale is increasingly considered as an effective tool to improve urban water management. As a consequence, authorities in different countries adopt regulations prescribing the infiltration of stormwater in new developments. Here we apply a simple sizing procedure for plotscale infiltration facilities to examine the consequences, in terms of implementation, of ...

Resilient Project Management, A New Approache to Develop Project Management Knowledge (Case Study: Infrastructure Civil Projects Management)

Accepetance of the fact that the working context of civil projects is challenging can enhance the resiliency capacity and will increase the project management concentration for improving and developing the software and hardware capabilities to facilitate project success achievement. This article is documented based on a research results in macro-hydropower plants projects management context to ...

Improving Management of Green Retrofits from a Stakeholder Perspective: A Case Study in China.

Green retrofits, which improve the environment and energy efficiency of buildings, are considered a potential solution for reducing energy consumption as well as improving human health and productivity. They represent some of the riskiest, most complex, and most uncertain projects to manage. As the foundation of project management, critical success factors (CSFs) have been emphasized by previou...
