Building information modeling (BIM) adoption offers significant benefits for construction projects, including enhanced collaboration and legal/contractual management. However, the impacts of BIM deployment on contracts dispute resolution remain unclear. This research analyzed regulatory legal implications in industry via a framework evaluating Contractual Frameworks (CF), Dispute Resolution (DR), Legal Awareness (LA), Risk Management (RM). Fifteen qualitative interviews with experts provided...
The construction sector is responsible for the 40% of consumed resources, CO2 emissions, and approximately demolition waste. For assessment building, there exists a standardized method, life cycle (LCA), however, process requires time, cost, most importantly expertise. In this paper, method proposed analyzed building embodied carbon in three stages, construction, operation, demolition. Moreover, result analysis considered as base result, de-carbonization strategies identified through...
The promise of a healthier, more comfortable, and productive way life has fueled rapid technological transition, regenerative built environment emerged as the tagline to denote recent sustainable development. In environment, paradigm transformative approach that goes beyond mere sustainability, aiming restore, renew, enhance ecosystems affected by human activities. However, concept its potential foster development been understudied in time. Therefore, this paper explores how we can transform...
This research offers valuable perspectives on the nexus between urbanization and smart environment within Najran city, Saudi Arabian context. City, with its diverse districts evolving urban landscape, is at forefront of adopting advanced technologies participatory governance models to create a resilient, environmentally conscious, sustainable environment, likewise positioning itself as model development but also fostering an innovation-driven community equipped address difficulties exploit...
Project failure is a persistent challenge in the construction industry, rendering it one of most demanding sectors. Many obstacles, including safety concerns, quality management issues, environmental preservation challenges, economic sustainability, privacy constraints, and legal regulations, weigh heavily on projects. However, beacon hope emerges AI-powered drones capable surmounting these challenges paving path to resounding project success. This study employed diverse methodologies,...
Enhancing the durability of structural elements is a viable approach to promote sustainability in civil engineering. Research has shown that well-maintained slabs outperform degraded ones, which deteriorate rapidly due insufficient upkeep. The occurrence cracking and deformation subjected sustained loads significantly impacts their functionality. However, implementation appropriate retrofitting techniques utilizing locally available materials can effectively minimize deflection crack...
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system performance research has received much attention in recent years. Many researchers suggest a set of appropriate fuzzy inputs that can be used to design rules-based smart thermostats or controllers respond demand-controlled which turn optimizes HVAC energy usage provides satisfactory indoor temperatures. Previous focused on limited input parameters, such as occupancy status, ambient temperature, humidity constraints, cannot efficiently...
Abstract The construction sector has been under growing public attention recently as one of the leading causes climate change and its detrimental effects on local communities. In this regard, geopolymer concrete (GPC) proposed a replacement for conventional concrete. Predicting concrete’s strength before pouring is, therefore, quite useful. mechanical slag corncob ash (SCA–GPC), GPC made from ash, was predicted utilizing multi-expression programming (MEP). Modeling parameters’ relative...
Saudi buildings use approximately 29% of the primary energy and about 80% electrical energy. Because hot dry climate, air conditioners consume a lot to attain comfortable temperature indoors. More than 70% need be thermally insulated. The objective this study is assess existing saving public schools in Arabia. Indoor thermal environment monitoring three school has been undertaken by employing LSI LASTEM ‘R-LOG’ data loggers, electric bills were also collected. building was modelled using...
The aim of this research is to develop an architectural style commensurate with the requirements residential buildings in hot and dry climate Najran. courtyard concept one most important passive design strategies tune desert climate. also meets sociocultural region. success strategy can be verified by selecting a typical unit (villa) assessing its indoor environmental conditions energy performance. villa then redesigned same functional spatial determinants while creating at heart new...
The aim of this research is to assess sustainable green building awareness in Kano State, a case study the Gwale local government area. This makes use both primary and secondary data address these offered solutions. Descriptive quantitative analysis using BREAM LEAD evaluation standards was used analyze 251 questionnaires were distributed. To ensure fair trial each samples, they chosen at random from various parts Yan-Alawa ward. A selected analyzed. logical comparison with Saudi Arabia...
The purpose of this research is to analyze and evaluate the urban furniture in public space Dr. Fazil Kucuk Park Nicosia compare it with a logical Saudi Arabian case study. As such, focus on sustainability renewable energy sources, especially application solar technologies furniture, order determine feasibility using sustainable operate park. A qualitative approach was chosen, both secondary primary data, along images from data were analyzed descriptive analysis, applies used This six types...
The field of construction is undergoing exponential transformations and innovations as a result technological advancement in the hardware, software Artificial Intelligence (AI). Several architectural firms have adopted innovative technologies to make easier, sustainable, efficient, cheap, fast, low generation waste etc. increase need smart homes equipped with sensors that can sense regulate temperature, prevent or control fire, gas leakage, motion detectors alarms for security other...
