RESILLIENT LIVING BY OPTIMIZING THE BUILDING FAÇADE IN DESIGNING POST-COVID HOUSING

The living performance in sustainable development outline contributing factors towards efficiency, such as ecological, economic, health, and social integration. The performance of facade design must be emphasised to describe resilient living and access to mitigate the design of post-coronavirus disease (COVID-19) housing. The spread of the pandemic underlines the importance of providing quality of life and wellbeing in the building environment, hence highlighting a crucial need to improve indoor air quality and passive building performance to minimise the transmission of COVID-19 and indoor airborne diseases as a result of poor ventilation. The passive building performance and facade complement the energy demand and reduce heat gain. Currently, passive design and health are emphasised to link the environmental design approach and architecture and highlight the quality-of-life post-pandemic. The study aims to provide important healthy indoor strategies and passive building performance for open-plan home-office design, to investigate the open-plan home design with optimum thermal performance based on the passive indoor environment, and to examine the bioclimatic response and energy efficiency of home-office design during the pandemic. The responsiveness of bioclimatic and modular construction incorporated with the new home-office design aim to save energy through sustainable material. The Integrated Environmental Solutions Virtual Environment (IESVE) computer software was utilised using simulations involving ranges of illuminance levels in daylight and revealed the acceptable levels of between 300 lux to 500 lux for the home office area. The results demonstrated that the optimum range of solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.46 and a U-value of 0.04 W/m2 K reduced the indoor temperature by 5 degrees Celsius during peak time and maintained the air-condition at 28 degrees Celsius, which was within thermal comfort level.

Characterization of municipal solid waste for waste to energy feedstock in Jakarta

The characterization study of municipal solid waste for waste to energy facility is very important to Jakarta City because of its waste is still in mixed condition and may contains several materials those are not suitable for incinerator. The purpose of this study was to determine the character of the waste from several sources (shopping areas, office areas, industrial areas, city parks, and households) in the city of Jakarta and to analyse the quality of the waste to be feedstock of incinerator. The research used a random sampling method for the wastes which were transported to the Bantargebang final disposal site. Samples were taken proportionally from the garbage truck to determine the composition, proximate and ultimate analysis. The results showed that wastes were dominated by combustible material and had a good potential as an incinerator fuel in terms of the characteristics of moisture content (less than 50%), volatile matter (above 25%) and ash content (less than 60%), as well as its LHV (above 6 MJ/kg). However, the existence of bulky waste, hazardous waste, non-combustible waste, and several types of waste that are not allowed to enter the incinerator needs to be a concern. Those wastes potentially interfere the performance of the incinerator.

Abundance and diversity of ARGs in aerosol environments of waste recycling sites

This study investigated the distribution and transmission of bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in aerosol environments during the process of waste recycling in the stock landfill, including the excavation site, drying field, screening workshop and office area, to identify potential hazards to people and the surrounding environment. Results revealed that aerosols released during waste recycling had a significant impact on composition of environmental microorganisms and may affect nearby areas by diffusion. Eleven potential human pathogenic bacteria (HPB) from different sampling sites were observed and the predominant HPB genera in each sample were Acinetobacter, Pantoea and Klebsiella, especially the extremely high abundance of Acinetobacter (50.43%) in the screening workshop may be a threat to the staff. Four resistance genes and three mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in aerosols were detected by droplet digital PCR, and the most kinds and high concentrations of resistance gene subtypes were detected in screening workshop and office area. A significant positive correlation was observed between intI1 and up to 3 resistance gene subtypes (P < 0.05), while the correlation between ARGs and bacterial communities was weak. The study measured and evaluated the resulting risk of aerosols released during waste cycling to guide the necessary pollution control measures especially in the closed and humid environment when subsequent such projects are implemented.

RANCANGAN WEBSITE LAYANAN PENGADUAN PADA DINAS PERUMAHAN DAN KAWASAN PERMUKIMAN KOTA

Improving public services is a form of government participation in serving the community. Public complaints are a form of participation to play a role in building the environment as well as a form of monitoring the performance of government agencies. Reports and community aspirations can be used as input for evaluating policies and regulations that have been made or regulations that have been implemented and to find out problems that exist in the community effectively, quickly and up to date and can immediately provide solutions and solutions. The Department of Housing and Settlement Areas of Binjai City has the main task of assisting the Governor in carrying out decentralization and deconcentration authority in the Housing, Settlement and Land areas in accordance with the policies established by laws and regulations. In this case, the community still finds it difficult to report complaints about problems, one of which is regarding illegal settlement development, because the community must come to the Binjai City Housing and Settlement Area Office to report the problem. This becomes ineffective and inefficient because many sub-districts are far from the city center, making it difficult for remote communities to complain to the Binjai City Housing and Settlement Area Office. For this reason, a web-based public complaint service information system is needed to make it easier for the public to report all existing problems. This facility is expected to help connect the community with the Binjai City Housing and Settlement Area Office as effectively and efficiently as possible.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF BLE 5.1 NEW FEATURE ANGLE OF ARRIVAL FOR RELATIVE POSITIONING

Abstract. The official release of Bluetooth Core Specification, version 5.1 in 2019, provides a new feature for direction determination. It introduces a fine-grained angle measurement capability including Angle of Arriva (AoA) and Angle of Departure, which is deemed essential to the development of Internet of Things applications for localization or relative positioning within the area where Global Navigation Satellite System signals cannot be received. In this paper, we set up a series of experiments to empirically evaluate the direction of the Bluetooth Low Energy transmitter based on the AoA mechanism using the commercialised equipment. The experimental evaluation is performed, for the first time to date, under four different testing environments and other various conditions to inspect the fidelity of angle measurement against the high accuracy given in the specifications. In details, an ideal environment (i.e., anechoic chamber with no multi-path effect), an underground mine, an open area and a typical office area are all tested comprehensively. The experimental results reveal that the ideal environment has the best performance with the minimum error and conforms with the provided datasheet. The worst case occurs on the data collected from the office area. We also find a regular pattern always showing up repeatedly on the error plots based on the measurement results and scrutinize the truthfulness of this rule by adding more innumerable tests conducted in the office. Our results show that the performance of accuracy does depend on the data channel selection due to the multi-path effect.

Spatial characteristics of fine particulate matter in subway stations: Source apportionment and health risks

Air in subway stations is typically more polluted than ambient air, and particulate matter concentrations and compositions can vary greatly by location, even within a subway station. However, it is not known how the sources of particulate matter vary between different areas within subway stations, and source-specific health risks in subway stations are unclear. We analyzed the spatial characteristics of particulate matter by source and calculated source-specific health risks on subway platforms and concourses and in station offices by integrating source apportionment with health risk assessments. A total of 182 samples were collected in three areas in six subway stations in Nanjing, China. Enrichment factors and the positive matrix factorization receptor model were used to identify major sources. The carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks to subway workers and passengers were evaluated to determine control priorities. Seven sources of particulate matter were identified in each area, with a total of four subway sources and six outdoor sources over all the areas. The source contributions to total element mass differed significantly from the source contributions to human health risks. Overall, subway sources contributed 48% of total element mass in the station office and 75% and 60% on the concourse and platform, respectively. Subway-derived sources accounted for 54%, 81%, and 71% of non-carcinogenic health risks on station platforms, concourses, and office areas, respectively. The corresponding values for carcinogenic risks were 51%, 86%, and 86%. Among the elements, cobalt had the largest contributions to carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks, followed by manganese for non-carcinogenic risks and hexavalent chromium for carcinogenic risks. Reducing emissions from subway sources could effectively protect the health of subway workers and passengers.
