Determinant Factors Of Structural Model For The Capability Of The Vertical Greenery System Application Towards Energy Conservation
(2024-10)
Sudirman, Mohd Dzulkarnaen
University campuses are grappling with significant challenges related to high energy consumption stemming from the large population and diverse activities on campus. Ministry of higher education statistics reveal that over 1 million individuals, including students and staff, utilize campus facilities, necessitating a reduction in reliance on government funding due to global economic constraints. This creates a dual challenge for universities: curbing energy expenses while expanding student intake, thus balancing financial and environmental considerations. Cooling demands identified as a major driver of energy consumption largely from air conditioning. Addressing to these challenges, sustainable construction, like green building, emphasizes eco-friendly practices, energy conservation, and recycling. Passive techniques such as vertical greening systems (vgs) are gaining attention for reducing energy use, thanks to their thermal efficiency and alignment with sustainability goals. The research outlines three core objectives; (i) to identify determinant factors for the application of vgs and categorizing them into group factor, (ii) to determine the relationship between the identified group factors, and (iii) to develop the structural model for the application of vgs towards energy conservation in university.
Mediating Effects Of Small Medium Enterprise Organizational Culture On The Relationship Between Circular Economy Processes And Economic Sustainability Construction Projects In Nigeria
(2024-05)
Bakar, Mohammad Sani Abu
Recently, there have been clamors for the construction industry to adopt circular models as a means of enhancing sustainability. The need to incorporate circularity into the nigerian construction industry where the current linear consumption of construction materials is considered unsustainable, forms the basis of this study. This is further exacerbated by the financial dilemma in nigeria, where shortage of funds to execute construction projects is often highlighted. This study was aimed at investigating the mediating effects of construction firms’ organizational culture on circular economy processes that affects the economic sustainability of construction projects in the nigerian construction industry. Three main circular economy processes that affects economic sustainability of construction projects were identified; they include circular design, circular construction and material sustainability. The study introduced organizational culture as a mediating construct with four dimensions; they include group, development, rational and hierarchical cultures.
Risk-Based Cost Overrun Prediction Model For Petrochemical Projects
(2024-11)
Mohseni, Mohammad
Cost overruns are a significant issue in the construction industry, particularly in petrochemical projects. Understanding the critical reasons behind cost overruns and their impact is challenging. While many studies have explored cost overruns in construction, focusing on their causes and implications, there's a noticeable gap in research that specifically targets identifying these causes in petrochemical projects. Additionally, there's a need for predictive models that can estimate the likelihood of cost overruns in these projects. This study aims to address this gap by identifying the factors that lead to cost overruns in iran's petrochemical projects and developing a model to predict cost overrun levels. The study uses quantitative (based on numbers) and qualitative (based on observations) research methods to thoroughly investigate the factors influencing cost overruns and develop a predictive model for the severity of cost overruns in iran's petrochemical projects. Data was collected through interviews and surveys. The survey was designed based on findings from literature reviews and initial interviews, leading to the identification of 30 risk factors. Data was collected from 99 participants using a survey that assessed the cause-and-effect relationship of risk factors to cost overruns in iran's petrochemical projects.

(1998-03)
Haji Ibrahim, Siti Halipah
Kajian ini adalah mengenai perumahan terupaya merangkumi perkaitan di antara keperluan ruang dan aktiviti di kawasan perumahan kos rendah. Lokasi kajian yang di pilih terletak di di bandaraya Kuching iaitu kawasan Perumahan Kos Rendah Petra Jaya Fasa II dan Perumahan Kos Rendah Siol Kanan (Taman Sukma). Kajian ini lebih tertumpu kepada tahap keupayaan sebenar penghuni di kawasan kajian setelah menduduki rumah berkenaan dalam tempoh masa tertentu. Tahap terupaya dikaitkan dengan keperluan ruang dan aktiviti dan kesannya terhadap pengubahsuaian rumah.
