Each participant in a building construction project requires dedicated work space which to execute their activities. In this environment, inappropriate work-space planning site causes problems, results loss of productivity, safety hazards, and issues poor quality. Therefore, the should be considered one most important resources constraints manage at site. However, current techniques have proven insufficient for because they do not account spatial feature each activity. To establish...

In recent years, noise-related disputes caused by construction equipment have increased, resulting in delays and cost overruns the process. To deal with this challenging issue, passive noise control methods such as soundproof barriers enclosures been widely used. However, these a limited effect when used to attenuate low-frequency noise. This research aims suggest management model demonstrate applicability of active (ANC) new approach supplement limitations control. Simulations were...

The case-based reasoning (CBR) method can be an effective means of utilizing knowledge gained from past experiences to estimate cost in construction. It has also been observed that CBR enhance ...

Case-based reasoning (CBR) utilizes old solutions to solve a present problem. However, as no past situation is ever exactly the same new one, should be fitted for circumstances, which called case adaptation. Thus, success of CBR depends on ability Generally, adaptation method can categorized by two methods: decreasing need and increasing capability. Nevertheless, previous research has focused applying itself rarely examined or candidates selection. As an effort enhance performance CBR, this...

Many work-related risk factors can cause accidents on construction sites. Considering the varied characteristics of these sites, risks within same type work differ. Furthermore, established safety management performed in other industries does not necessarily apply to construction. To suggest an assessment system considering influence this study examines through literature reviews and surveys, builds a weighting for their classification. The each are estimated based frequency severity. With...

Severe weather can adversely affect the scheduling of construction projects. It is very important to be able estimate delay that would result from such severe because contracts generally differentiate between delays anticipated and those cannot. Only caused by abnormal unforeseeable are granted a time extension. Normal foreseeable in usually estimated as monthly average days determined historical data, which measured at ground level. In high-rise building construction, however, this approach...

Worldwide, the building sector is responsible for consuming more than 36% of final global energy and produces 39% carbon dioxide emissions. Accordingly, sustainable retrofit an important method to achieve reduction development. However, lack information on technologies their benefits trigger stakeholder’s opposition actions. The Energy Performance Certificate tool can be used overcome knowledge gap boost saving by strengthening its recommendation report with performance. Therefore, this...

This study aims at investigating how consumers experience the retail environment visually, thus establishing a foundation for deeper insights into visual merchandising strategies. Specifically, we experimentally recorded and analyzed attention emotional arousal of in test setting examined influence various elements as well gender differences consumer responses. We conducted an experiment utilizing eye-tracking virtual reality to analyze response spatial design immersive environment....

The construction industry continues to record a high number of accidents compared other industries. Furthermore, the ramifications are growing in terms both economic loss and life with trends toward larger-scale, more complex projects. For this reason, there is an increasing awareness importance safety management industry, need for effective techniques. This paper introduces real-time location-based labor system that tracks visualizes workers’ locations sends early warnings endangered...

This paper presents a method that combines visibility graph and isovist analyses to investigate the spatial social properties of architectural plans for aged care facilities. The potential combined is examined by measuring three sets residential first set pair hypothetical, idealized plans, which allegedly reflect "best practice" in industry. second comprises recent Australian designs, third South Korean Results computational analysis these six suggest cultural factors may shape design...

Noise due to construction is recognized as a crucial source of harm the surroundings site. A number noise-related problems can cause significant risk an ongoing project. As first step toward coping with noise, this paper presents model developed for estimating compensation cost through case-based reasoning (CBR). An experiment was performed 20 randomly selected test cases. The costs were estimated based on damage days and excessive noise level similar Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) adopted...

Construction projects require huge amounts of capital and have many risk factors due to the unique industry characteristics. For a project be successful, accurate cost estimation during design phase is very important. Thus, this research aims develop model where modification method integrates influential with significant parameters. This study identified modified parameter‐making process, which into small number The proposed estimates using quantity‐based parameters multiplied by their...

This research investigated resident behaviours in relation to kitchen ventilation residential buildings order improve indoor air quality (IAQ) South Korean living spaces. The involved a survey study of 182 households, which identified behaviour with respect ventilation, their satisfaction level regarding the IAQ, and use maintenance range hoods kitchens. paper describes CO 2 concentrations both natural mechanical ventilation. adequacy was determined by monitoring concentration 10 sampled...

In modular construction projects, unit production and onsite work are conducted concurrently, enabling shorter duration, lower cost, improved quality. Because of the nature work, building design details should be determined early in phase, which requires information from participants. However, process for stick-built does not include such information, leads to errors design, as omissions conflicts participants, causing reworking phase. To reduce errors, an flow identified representing...

Elderly nursing homes in South Korea are vulnerable to evacuation emergency situations such as fires. There many elderly residents with reduced self-walking ability, so if a disaster fire occurs, it is very likely lead large number of human injuries. In homes, impossible for people evacuate voluntarily without the help staff. Therefore, important guide behavior staff when evacuating. The purpose this study evaluate effect on time an home by adopting agent-based simulation approach. was...
