An Empirical Study Of A Dominant Learning Style On Building Information Modeling (Bim) Adoption
(2019-07)
Kadhim, Inaam Jabbar
The A rchitecture, E ngineering, C on struction and O peration (AECO) industry is a key player in the economic development of Iraq. At present, t he AECO industry focus es on eliminating waste and inefficiency to improve quality and profitability . Building I nformation M odelling (BIM) enables a re liable and timely exchange of information with benefits such as promoting the early creation of pivotal data necessary for designing, detailing, resource saving, productivity enhancement , and quality improvement. Accordingly, BIM adoption has become a nece ssity for the AECO industry to achieve the aims of the industry , ensure sustainable practices, and enhance performance and profitability. R esearchers found that the main barriers to the BIM adoption in different countries are lack of training and learning , as well as resistance to change. The BIM adopters have different levels of aptitude, flexibility , and logical thinking, their learning styles in BIM training should be considered to ensure the effectiveness of BIM adoption. Therefore, this study aims to i dentify the dominant (preferred) learning style of employees and investigate the effects of th is learning style on the employees’ attitudes towards BIM at the National Centre for Engineering Consultancy (NCEC) in Iraq. Furthermore, this study examines the mediating role of training experience between the dominant learning style of the BIM adopters and the BIM adoption at the NCEC. Preliminary investigation and a quantitative research method were applied in this study. The t hematic analysis of the preliminar y interview data present ed a clear picture of the problem and validate d the
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.
