    Optimisation Of Glass Cladding Bipv Configuration Based On Energy And Daylighting Performance For University’s Classroom
    (2025-07)
    Susan
    A significant demand of energy in tropical university classrooms lead to the need of building solution that integrated energy generation and effective daylighting. This study investigates the performance of glass cladding Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) to determine optimum configurations that enhance both energy and daylighting performance. The objective is to identify the most effective configurations of glass cladding BIPV that optimize energy generation while ensuring adequate daylighting for tropical university classrooms. To achieve this, simulationbased experiments were conducted using HelioScope and Velux to assess several models which were developed based on opening types, room geometry, and orientations.

    The Satisfaction Model For Green Home Owner-Occupiers In China
    (2025-07)
    Wang, Dan
    With the increasing awareness of global climate change and environmental protection, green buildings have gradually become an important direction for the development of the construction industry. The satisfaction of green home is an important indicator to measure the success of the green home market. However, currently there are rare researches that study on the customer satisfaction involved in the green-home buyers in China comprehensively and systematically. The primary objectives of this study are to identify the key factors that significantly impact perceived quality, examine the effect of customer expectation in affecting customer satisfaction, and explore the role of perceived quality and perceived value as the mediators between customer expectation and customer satisfaction.

    Design Guideline Criteria For Learning Spaces: Case Of Primary Schools In Shandong Province, China
    (2025-07)
    Sun, Rongrong
    The design of learning spaces plays a critical role in students' educational experiences, particularly for primary school students. The learning space must be tailored to cultivate diverse skills, enabling students to adapt to the evolving standards and requirements for future talents. However, existing space designs often exhibit rigidity and oversimplification, which contradicts student-centred pedagogies that prioritize variety and plurality. This study aims to develop two models: the Naturalness, Individualization, and Stimulation (SIN) model and Model of 21st century physical learning environment (MoPLE 21) model. Through literature review, three design principles, seven design parameters, and twenty-one design elements were examined to conceptually establish the Learning Spaces Design Guideline (LSDG). Additionally, case studies were conducted through purposive sampling involving four primary schools in Shandong, China.

    Factors Affecting The Quality Service Of Tour Guides Among Domestic Tourists In The Historic City Of Babylon
    (2025-08)
    Sleibi, Almasoodi Muthana Faaeq
    Domestic tourism in Iraq has gained traction in heritage sites such as Babylon, with tour guide services playing a crucial role in enhancing tourist satisfaction. However, there is a significant gap in the literature on tour guide services in post-war contexts, particularly in Iraq. Research on heritage tourism in such settings is sparse, with limited studies addressing the application of quantitative tools to measure service quality or the specific challenges faced by tour guides in these environments. This study addresses these gaps by exploring the policy and government support for tourism sector and examining domestic tourists' expectations and perceived service quality of tour guides in Babylon. Using the SERVQUAL model and the Expectation- Disconfirmation theory, the study evaluates multiple dimensions of service quality, including reliability, tangibles, responsiveness, empathy, safety, professional knowledge, skills, abilities, attitude, and personal integrity. An exploratory sequential mixed-method design was adopted, beginning with qualitative interviews of 15 key stakeholders selected via snowball sampling.

    Redefining The Infectious Disease Prevention Framework Through Hierarchy Of Controls On Construction Sites In Sarawak
    (2025-09)
    Wong, Vivian Shao Yun
    The occurrence of infectious diseases among on-site construction workers remains a significant challenge, particularly for small-scale contractors with limited resources. Despite existing preventive measures, inadequate welfare facilities and inconsistent implementation of control strategies continue to present substantial risks, affecting both worker well-being and overall project sustainability. This study aims to (1) assess the awareness of Sarawak’s small-scale contractors regarding on-site welfare facilities, (2) examine their perspectives on infectious disease prevention approaches, and (3) develop and validate a redefined hierarchy of controls framework.
