PASSIVE DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF BUILDING USING E-QUEST: A CASE STUDY
No full textThere are many factors that drive the energy consumption and demand in high-rise commercial office buildings. Through a case study, this paper presents an approach to evaluate how different types of sunshields, building orientations, position of windows and wall window ratio (WWR) affect the energy consumption of a facility. e-Quest, an energy simulation software is used to simulate the energy performance of the facility. The simulation model is calibrated against the measured monthly electrical consumption. The subject facility is located in Kolkata, India. Calibrated simulation model of a building has been created using the real data gathered during energy audit to estimate the energy saving potential through the implementation of the passive building architectural designs by a simulation software e-Quest. Finally an optimum passive building design recommendation to reduce the building energy consumption is in this paper to assist the facility managers. The detailed energy simulation gives recommendation on window orientation, WWR and optimum shading design
EVALUATION OF FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR DYNAMICS OF DIRECT COSTS OF BUILDING ELEMENTS IN CROSS-RIVER STATE, NIGERIA
Get PDFThe difficulty in accurately forecasting costs of building projects is traceable to inability to determine the nature and causes of variation in direct costs. This study evaluates the severity of the impact of eighty factors responsible for the dynamics of direct cost of building elements in Cross River State of Nigeria. The objective is to compare consultants and contractors perception of the severity of the factors on differential in direct costs. To achieve this objective, a field survey involving a sample of 91 contractors and 46 consultants was conducted. Data were collected with the aid of structured questionnaires and analysed using mean item score, and Mann-Whitney U test. The results reveal that fifteen factors have very high significant effect on the dynamics of direct costs (MS ≥ 4.20) from environmental, macro-economic and construction related factors. There is also high agreement between contractors and consultants’ perception of the influence of the factors (P=0.801). It is recommended that stakeholders should give adequate priority to site conditions, method of construction, macroeconomic indices and cost control mechanism through effective planning, cost recording and cost analysis in their effort to accurately forecast cost of projects

Oleh itu penulisan ini hendak mengungkap kesan lorong belakang rumah kedai terhadap aspek perbandaran di Malaysia agar rasionalisasi kewujudannya dapat dinilai semula
MENGENALPASTI TAHAP KESEJAHTERAAN SENI BINA WARISAN MELAYU MELALUI KONSEP ISLAM
Get PDFIslam merupakan sebuah agama yang sejahtera. Kesejahteraan dalam seni bina bermaksud bagaimana sesuatu bangunan atau kediaman yang dihasilkan mampu memberi keselesaan, ketenteraman dan memelihara penghuninya sebagai tempat berlindung. Ini adalah kerana memiliki kediaman yang selesa merupakan sebahagian daripada hak asasi manusia kerana ianya merupakan keperluan asas bagi kita. Rumah sebagai tempat menjalani kehidupan seharian seharusnya dirancang dengan memerhatikan keseimbangan di antara fizikal binaan, alam sekitar dan manusia sebagai penghuninya bagi mendapat kesejahteraan hidup. Tetapi malangnya, kediaman moden orang Melayu pada masa kini sudah mengabaikan banyak faktor kesejahteraan di dalam rekabentuknya sehingga mengundang kesusahan dan ketidakselesaan terhadap penghuninya. Apa yang kita dapati kini, rumah-rumah moden Melayu yang dibina telah mengabaikan faktor iklim, keselamatan, budaya, agama dan lain-lain. Maka, kesannya kediaman tersebut bukan sahaja tidak selesa, malah tidak kondusif untuk diduduki. Menjawab mengenai semua permasalahan ke atas rumah moden kini, seni bina warisan Melayu kita adalah contoh terbaik bagaimana tukang kayu dahulu memahami kehendak alam sekitar dalam mereka bentuk rumah. Budaya masyarakat Melayu ini telah tersusun cantik selari dengan konsep Islam dan sunnah Nabi terutama di dalam bidang seni bina. Secara keseluruhannya, seni bina warisan merupakan hak milik orang-orang Melayu di mana ia jelas mengikut konsep Islam bagi mencapai kesejahteraan. Jesteru, penulisan ini mengkaji bagaimana konsep seni bina warisan tersebut dapat dilaksanakan ke atas rumah-rumah moden masa kini melalui pendekatan rumah warisan menggalakkan pengaliran udara, penggunaan pencahayaan semulajadi, rekabentuk jimat tenaga, penggunaan bahan yang mesra alam, penggunaan ruang serta mengekalkan adat dan budaya di mana boleh kita laksanakan ke atas rumah-rumah moden bagi mencapai tahap kediaman yang sejahtera. Kajian dianalisa dengan membuat perbandingan di antara seni bina moden Melayu dan seni bina warisan Melayu agar dapat dihubungkait dengan konsep kesejahteraan di dalam Islam. Hasil kajian dikembangkan bagi menuju perjalanan ke arah penghasilan identiti seni bina warisan Melayu yang berkualiti dan seterusnya mencadangkan pendekatan atau panduan dalam rekabentuk rumah kediaman agar selesa dan sejahtera untuk dihuni oleh manusia khususnya masyarakat di Malaysia
PUSAT LATIHAN NBK BERSEPADU: KAJIAN REKABENTUK BANGUNAN LATIHAN DEKONTAMINASI NBK ATM
Get PDFSejarah telah membuktikan bahawa peperangan telah memberi kesan kepada kehidupan manusia sejak dari tamadun awal lagi. Peperangan biasanya berlaku dengan tujuan untuk menakluk sesebuah negara bagi dijadikan tanah jajahan, meluaskan kuasa ekonomi, menunjukkan keupayaan kekuatan negara dan sebagainya. Dalam era “Network Centric Warfare (NCW)” , kesan yang dibawa oleh peperangan telah menjejaskan kehidupan manusia tidak mengira sama ada untuk kesan jangka pendek ataupun kesan jangka panjang. Satu lagi kesan yang besar adalah dari peperangan nuklear, biologi dan kimia (NBK). Penggunaan bahan-bahan ini telah diamalkan secara meluas sejak Perang Dunia II. Serangan NBK biasanya akan memberi kesan untuk tempoh yang lebih lama. Senjata NBK yang dahulunya hanya dimiliki oleh kuasa-kuasa besar kini juga mampu dimiliki oleh Negara Dunia Ketiga termasuk pengganas. Senjata NBK dilihat lebih merbahaya berbanding penggunaan senjata konvensional. Senjata NBK mampu mengakibatkan kemusnahan pada skala yang lebih besar dari segi korban nyawa, kemusnahan harta benda dan yang paling teruk kesan psikologi jangka panjang ke atas mangsanya. Lanjutan daripada senario ini wujud keperluan bagi melengkapkan pihak tentera mahupun first responders dengan keupayaan untuk menghadapi ancaman global yang baru ini. Langkah awal perlu diambil untuk melengkapkan ilmu dan kemahiran dalam mempertahankan diri daripada ancaman penggunaan senjata berunsurkan NBK. Pada masa kini, kesiapsiagaan kepada NBK adalah menjadi agenda penting bagi Malaysia. Justeru itu, bagi memperlengkapkan diri serta siap sedia menghadapi segala kemungkinan serangan NBK, setiap anggota perlulah menjalani dan memahirkan diri dengan pengetahuan asas pertahanan NBK. Sebuah Pusat Latihan NBK Bersepadu yang melibatkan agensi-agensi keselamatan seperti Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM), Bomba, Jabatan Pertahanan Awam dan sebagainya perlu diwujudkan lengkap dengan kemudahan-kemudahan latihan yang terkini serta dapat berfungsi dengan efisien. Tanggungjawab masyarakat awam juga tidak terkecuali dalam menangani ancaman berkaitan NBK. Mereka juga perlu diberi pendedahan yang sewajarnya dengan memperkenalkan kursus NBK terutamanya proses dekontaminasi NBK di peringkat staf kerajaan, peserta PLKN, pekerja-pekerja di sektor industri kimia dan sebagainya
FACTORS AFFECTING JOB-SITE PRODUCTIVITY OF CONSTRUCTION WORKERS IN LAGOS STATE
Get PDFProductivity is one of the most important factors affecting the overall performance of any organisation whether large or small organisation. It is on the basis of this that the study assess the factors that affect job-site productivity in Lagos State with consideration on recruitment policy, types of training and factors that affect quality of workers and their contribution to the various organisations surveyed. This is done through the self administration of 100 structured questionnaires to elicit information from the respondents using convenience sampling method. The results showed that 64.7% of the respondents used on the job training for their workers and 54.3% of the respondents conduct training for their staff as required. Experience of workers was ranked 1st while age of workers was ranked 14th out of 16 factors. Furthermore, improvements are needed in the areas of developing people (42%), safety consciousness (34%) and planning effectiveness (26%). It is however suggested among others that efforts should be made by the firms to invest in developing its work force (ability to select, train and appraise personnel, set standard of performance) so that on the long run, this will yield positive improvement on the overall productivity
LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OF BUILDING OCCUPANTS ON DAMPNESS IN WALLS OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IN GHANA
Get PDFThis paper presents the results of a questionnaire survey of 5,800 buildings in four climatic zones of Ghana which sought to assess and document the level of knowledge of building occupants on the problem of dampness in their buildings. A quantitative approach to data analysis was employed, using percentages and mean score rankings of the factors studied. The results showed some existence of knowledge on the problem of dampness among the respondents. The results also showed that dampness is often seen on the walls of residential buildings in Ghana and its level of appearance varied from one climatic zone to the other. The results further showed that the symptoms associated with damp walls are ‘surface efflorescence just above skirting/floor’, ‘dampness at the base of walls up to 1.5m in horizontal band’, ‘stains, especially in horizontal band, noticeably damp in humid conditions’ and ‘mold growth (on cold surfaces, windows, etc.)’. The study acknowledges as a limitation the fact that most building occupants were reluctant to allow the researchers into their properties for fear of robbery. Despite this limitation, findings from this study create an awareness of how dampness as a problem is on the rise in Ghanaian residential buildings and this should lead to collective responsibility of stakeholders to find solutions to the problem
MIHRAB DESIGN AND ITS BASIC ACOUSTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TRADITIONAL VERNACULAR MOSQUES IN MALAYSIA
Get PDFABSTRACT Mosque design, globally, has evolved considerably from being very simple design and functional, to more sophisticated forms and layout and recently being very monumental. Its function; however, remain the same, not only as a place for prostrations, but more so as a community centre and a symbol of Islam. Basic elements and spaces such as prayer hall, ablution, minaret, minbar and mihrab; for example, are common features in any mosque. Mihrab, a component of Qibla wall marks the Qibla direction. Functionally, it positions the Imam who recites during congregations. It form and design helps the Imam to have khusyu’ in prayer. Mihrab should also function acoustically. This research was carried out with the objectives to review the level of acoustic performance in selected mosques and to evaluate the design and acoustic performance of the mihrabs. Initial survey of 37 traditional mosques in Malaysia, built between 1728-1830, has concluded that the mosques are either square or rectangular in plan with clear Mihrab visibility from the main entrance. Mihrab’s form vary from having circular niche with flat ceiling to rectangular shaped with slanting ceiling and semi-circular concaved niched forms. To evaluate the acoustical characteristics of the selected mosques the PC-based acoustic measuring system and analyser was utilized. The PC-based measuring system (dBBati32) was integrated with sound level meter (01dB Solo Metravib) as analyser. Data collected from five case study reveals initial findings that the operating facilities in the mosques resulting higher rating NC-49 which is reducing the performance of speech intelligibility. The investigations on the mosque’s mihrab offer good characteristics to confirm the tendency of fair acoustical performance with a maximum difference of 4.0 dB. Key words: Acoustic, Mihrab, Mosque
