    The use of hybrid turbine ventilator (HT'l) for effective temperature reduction in different air volume dimension of building.
    (2015)
    Abdul Rahman, Abdul Malek
    The hybrid solar wind driven turbine venrtilator (HTV) acts as a catalyst and a free-energy stack ventilation strategy by accelerating the extraction of hot air out of building interiors. From literature reviews on the topics related to stack ventilation, fan assisted stack ventilation can maximize both wind an solar energy for rotation that will induce ample air movement required for physiological cooling and hence improving the thermal indoor environment. Main aim of this research is to explore where this HTV canbe used effectively in the overall building envelope, for example, on top of the roof ridege to cool the attic and/or as a chimney alongside the external wall running up vertically from ground to roof level functioning like a 'fireplace' but instead generating air movement indoors and extracting hot air out through the chimney flue.

    The investigation of mix design approach using waste concrete material as cement replacement material for green construction technology.
    (2015)
    Abas, Noor Faisal
    The use of concrete in development is essential in the construction industry and it became the most important and major construction materials use all over the world. The concrete is consists of the coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and cement as the binder materials. This research presents an experimental study of the influences of different percentage waste concrete ash use as cement replacement materials to form a new concrete.

    Sustainable reconstruction towards guidelines of post-disaster vulnerability reduction for permanent informal housing in Kelantan due to flooding.
    (2017)
    Roosli, Ruhizal
    In Kelantan, those who have experienced flood almost every year are reluctant to leave their homes due to land ownership matters. It is not guaranteed that they are able to secure their homes from flooding in the future. It was reported that the houses should be built on stilts, which can withstand certain levels of impact during flooding.

    User's perceptions on thermal comfort and the effects of radiation in Skycourts of high rise buildings.
    (2014)
    Abdullah, Aldrin
    There is a great need to reduce energy consumption in high-rise office buildings due to the escalating environmental problems such as Urban Heat Island effect. Sky courts provides a natural way of cooling, allowing natural ventilation and inviting natural lighting without relying on the use of air-conditioning to achieve thermal comfort. Introducing greenery in high-rise buildings help to improve the thermal comfort where the microclimate is highly influenced by solar radiation. Terdapat keperluan yang tinggi untuk mengurangkan penggunaan tenaga di bangunan pejabat bertingkat tinggi disebabkan oleh masalah alam sekitar yang semakin meningkat seperti kesan Pulau Haba Bandar. Sky Court merupakan pendekatan semula jadi untuk mengurangkan suhu dalam bangunan dengan menggalakkan pengudaraan semula jadi dan kemasukan cahaya semula jadi tanpa bergantung kepada penggunaan penghawa dingin untuk mencapai keselesaan terma.

    The concept and meaning of landscape in the Malay context.
    (2014)
    Maliki, Nor Zarifah
    This research aims to understand landscape in the Malay context, mainly through the literatures that very closely describes the Traditional Malay culture. Landscape in a Malay context act as a medium of exchange that evolves within tangible and intangible elements in the Malay societies in its own timeframe.The research has analyzed 4 groups of written materials that contain ideas and descriptions of 'landscape' in the Malay context including classical historical writings, popular writings, idioms and Malay folklores.
