Assessment of economic performance of an industrial building using life cycle cost & refined benefit-cost analysis – A case study

This study utilizes Life cycle costing (LCC) analysis to assess the economic viability of an industrial building. It has been adapted to estimate daily costs and the resulting benefit-cost ratio (BCR), determining whether the new facility investment is worthwhile. Additionally, the study investigates awareness and usage of the LCC concept among civil engineers and architects. A survey was conducted on 500 technically qualified individuals in the construction industry in the study area. Results show that LCC for buildings is underrated. The study breaks down construction, operation, maintenance, and deconstruction cost and calculates the total cost over the building's life. The BCR, based on daily costs and expected annual profit, is 9. A sensitivity analysis accounts for market fluctuations, with the worst-case ratio being 2. This innovative technique can aid in assessing the proposed building's feasibility and profitability during the design phase. However, LCC concepts are not widely known or used for cost estimation, so more awareness is needed to convey its economic advantages to stakeholders.

Kualitas Pendidikan di Daerah Pedesaan, Studi Kasus Desa Rowotamtu dan Tisnogambar

Education is a process needed to obtain balance and perfection in the development of individuals and society. Education itself is faced with various problems that become obstacles to the quality of education itself. This can be seen in various aspects, some of which include the lack of adequate physical facilities such as the feasibility of buildings used in the learning process. These problems can hinder the development of students to reach their best potential and cause inequality in terms of access to quality education. There are differences in the quality of education in rural and urban areas, where rural areas have more specific challenges such as lack of school facilities, difficulty of access, and technological and social changes. In the context of education, technology has changed the way we learn, access information and communicate. Social changes, such as changing demographics, can also affect the way we design education systems. These factors create pressures on education that require creative thinking and innovative solutions. This research uses qualitative research methods through a phenomenological approach. The theoretical foundation used in this research is the functional structural theory proposed by Talcott Parson. Data collection in this study used interviews, observation, and documentation.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE HISTORY OF GEOGRAPHICAL THOUGHT IN/OF THE BRAZILIAN SEMIARID: A PROEMIC CONCEPTUAL DISCUSSION

The construction of the History of Geographic Thought (HPGeo) of the Semi-arid Northeast is a necessary and important study for understanding its consolidation in the scientific and (inter)national aspects. The objective is to analyze the construction of the History of Geographic Thought of the Semiarid Northeast of Brazil. The methodology is based on bibliographic research, seeking the theoretical-methodological support of the theme investigated and enabling the analytical interpretation of historical studies of geography and its scores with regard to the philosophical condition of the Brazilian Semiarid. The results are that its occupation, exploration and domain was based on hegemonic geographical perspectives, according to its historical epoch in chronological course at its level: (inter)national. Another important result was that the main predominant concepts were: geographic determinism, rationalism-systematic and mercantile-commercial capitalism at the Northeast level. Under the analysis in the regional section in the semi-arid region, two primary aspects were analyzed: the Conceptual and the Institutional one. The first focused on three relevant conceptual perspectives: Man, Nature and Economics (N-H-E). The second focused on the institutional, due to the systematic (organized) framework and the framework as a collective: the Farm, the Catholic Church and the Patriarchal Family. With this, geography is founded not only on resisting, but also existing, of transforming determinants into certain and possibilities in the feasibility of building, in today, the future in/your belonging to tomorrow.

USE OF EXPANDED POLYSTRENE (EPS) IN PLACE OF NATURAL MATERIAL

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a thermoplastic material, derived from pre-expanded polystyrene beads, that combines an extreme lightweight with versatile strength and thermal insulation. These characteristics made EPS an excellent alternative to natural materials for the feasibility of building and construction projects that would otherwise destined, for time and implementation costs, to be postponed or alienated. Specifically, this technology has been successfully used in road infrastructure sector in the last twenty years in the construction of roads, bridge abutments, lightweight embankments and back fills, above all for the rapid restoration of compromised roads following landslide or calamitous events, representing an interesting and resilient solution in areas exposed to seismic risk or persistent vibratory actions. Thus, the authors want to offer a critical analysis of different EPS road applications in Italy, considering benefits and drawbacks, proposing technical and economic considerations for ideal conditions of use and suggesting failure analysis methods and tools.

Feasibility model of urban residential buildings with zero-energy-consuming using solar energy sources based on Laplace transformation

In order to overcome the problems of low energy-saving rate and high net energy consumption existing in the urban residential zero-energy building feasibility model, this paper proposes a new solar source urban residential zero-energy building feasibility model based on Laplace transform method. The Laplacian transform of the energy-saving design parameters of the solar energy source urban residential zero-energy building is used to build a feasibility model of the urban residential zero-energy building. The feasibility parameters of the urban residential zero-energy building are calculated based on the feasibility model, and consumption of building feasibility. The experimental results show that the feasibility model of urban residential zero-energy building construction greatly improves the energy saving rate, the highest energy saving rate can reach 93%, the net energy consumption is reduced, and the minimum energy consumption is only 80 kg/t.

Feasibility study of intelligent autonomous determination of the bladder voiding need to treat bedwetting using ultrasound and smartphone ML techniques

Unsatisfactory cure rates for the treatment of nocturnal enuresis (NE), i.e. bed-wetting, have led to the need to explore alternative modalities. New treatment methods that focus on preventing enuretic episodes by means of a pre-void alerting system could improve outcomes for children with NE in many aspects. No such technology exists currently to monitor the bladder to alarm before bed-wetting. The aim of this study is to carry out the feasibility of building, refining and evaluating a new, safe, comfortable and non-invasive wearable autonomous intelligent electronic device to monitor the bladder using a single-element low-powered low-frequency ultrasound with the help of Machine Learning techniques and to treat NE by warning the patient at the pre-void stage, enhancing quality of life for these children starting from the first use. The sensitivity and specificity values are 0.89 and 0.93 respectively for determining imminent voiding need. The results indicate that customised imminent voiding need based on the expansion of the bladder can be determined by applying a single-element transducer on a bladder in intermittent manner. The acquired results can be improved further with a comfortable non-invasive device by adding several more features to the current features employed in this pilot study.Graphical Ultrasound device design: echoed US pulses reflected from the bladder and related tissues around the bladder is detected. These pulses are analysed, and an alarm is triggered when needed to treat nocturnal enuresis.

Defining and meeting the carbon constraints of the 21st century

The magnitude and implications for the construction industry of reductions in carbon dioxide emissions that will ultimately be required globally and in industrialized countries are critically examined. As a result of the problem of climate change, these reductions are found to be in the region of 80–90% by 2050- much larger than those presently under discussion in national and global political fora. The technological feasibility of buildings with low energy requirements and low carbon emissions suggests that existing technology is capable of delivering reductions in this range. Unfortunately, the progress that is being made at the cutting edge is, with very few exceptions, not carried over into building stocks as a whole. Regulatory, fiscal and market-based policy and strategy mechanisms for improving the performance both of new build and the existing stock are critically examined. The achievement of meaningful reductions will require a coordinated and strategic approach, which makes use of the complementarity between these mechanisms. Regulation alone, in the absence of clear and consistent price signals provided through mechanisms such as carbon taxation, is unlikely to deliver the reductions in carbon emissions that will be needed to stabilize the global atmosphere and climate. L'ampleur et les implications pour l'industrie de construction des réductions des émissions de dioxyde de carbone qui seront généralement exigées en fin de compte font l'objet d'un examen critque dans les pays industrialisés. Suite au problème des changements de climat, on a trouvé qu'en 2050 ces réductions d'émissions devraient se situer dans une zone de 80 à 90 % - c'est à dire, beaucoup plus grands que celle qu'on trouve dans les discussions et symposiums politiques nationaux et mondiaux. La faisabilité technologique de constructions nécessitant peu d'énergie et à faible émission de carbone suggére que la technologie actuelle est capable d'apporter des solutions à ces réductions. Malheureusement, à de rares exceptions prés, les progrés qui sont faits dans ces domaines de pointe ne sont pas appliqués dans leur totalité au secteur du bâtiment. La politique coordinatrice et fiscale, basée sur le marché ainsi que les mécanismes stratégiques visant à améliorer les performances concernant aussi bien les nouvelles constructions que celles existantes, sont examinés d'une façon critique. L'obtention de réductions significatives exigera une approche coordonnée et stratégique mettant en oeuvre ces deux mécanismes complémentaires. La seule réglementation, en l'absence d'arguments de prix clairs et cohérents comme par exemple la taxation sur l'oxyde de carbone, ne va vraisemblablement pas entrâner les réductions d'émissions de gaz carbonique qui seraient nécessaires afin de stabilizer l'atmosphère et le climat au niveau mondial.
