Abstract

Energy is a sustainability issue receiving primary global concern. Improving energy efficiency and utilizing renewable resources are important in building energy sustainability. An energy-efficient design is a basis for controlling energy efficiency in buildings, and it is highly motivated by the sustainable energy management perception of relevant stakeholders. Hotels have high energy intensities and high working costs. This study investigates the relationship between hotel design adequacy and hoteliers' perception of sustainable energy management in Abuja, Nigeria. The investigation embraces quantitative structure utilizing exploratory and elucidating techniques. The mean ranking and Pearson product-moment correlation results revealed substantial and weak positive correlations (r = 0.601 and r. = 0.257) between design adequacy and hoteliers' perception of importance as well as barriers of sustainable energy management, respectively. However, a negligible negative correlation was found between hotel design adequacy and hoteliers' opinion advantages of sustainable energy management (r. = -0.088). The findings negate the theoretical argument in cognitive dissonance that although hoteliers are conscious of energy issues and the high cost of power generation from back-up generators, they are not interested in investing in sustainable energy management. This study recommends minimizing hotel energy demand through climate-adaptive design and harnessing renewable energy to ensure comfortable and healthy hotel buildings with reduced operating and maintenance costs. Hotel design in the study area reasonably supports energy efficiency. Positive hoteliers' perception of the importance of sustainable energy management is related to improved design adequacy and thus responsible for a positive outcome.

Abstract

Housing conditions in the coral barracks become interesting as research subjects to find out that the housing condition covers all-encompassing in both the dwelling’s physical attributes and housing satisfaction. Generally, having satisfactory housing accommodation is among the most prized aspects of human begins’ lives and a key component of people’s material living standards. The aim of this study was to assess the attributes and level of housing conditions in Coral Barracks, Nigeria to explore housing conditions and their attributes and cover only the non-commissioned officers’ quarters. A quantitative method using a questionnaire survey was used and the population size was 774 apartments with a sample size of 260, while the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics as well as parametric measurements. A total number of 194 questionnaires retrieved from the respondents were used in the analyses. The findings from the physical condition attributes showed that the number of bedrooms, walls, and floors were in fair condition, while the roof, kitchen, and toilet/bath were in poor condition. Neighborhood attributes of hospitals, worship centers, sports facilities, and schools were in fair condition, building services attributes of security, water supply, fire protection, sewage & solid waste disposal and road networks were in fair condition, while laundry, internet, and drainage are in poor condition. The study recommends that a standard strategic plan for efficient barrack housing construction, management, and maintenance be designed. Dealing with the study, it can be concluded that housing conditions in coral barracks, Nigeria, are in the condition that requires rehabilitation to revitalize the standard of the housing condition implied that the management of Coral Barracks through the Logistics Department and Engineering Maintenance Group (EMG) is requested to expeditiously carry out general renovation of the soldiers’ accommodation as well as improve on the provision of auxiliary building services and neighbourhoods amenities in the study area with this it may still be part of the conclusion that the housing condition in the study is not fair.

Abstract

The impact of flooding requires innovative solutions for enhancing flood preparedness and reducing societal and economic losses. This study explores the potential of digital twin technology as an innovative tool for flood predictions, enabling real-time monitoring and data integration, contributing to developing more resilient communities and reducing flood risks. This study aims to enhance coastal flood resilience in Malaysia by examining challenges and strategies by applying digital twin technology. The objectives of the study are (1) to identify issues and countermeasures of flood in coastal areas (2) to compare the most relevant issues and countermeasures of flood in the coastal area for different organizations for application in digital twin technology and (3) to analyses the interrelationship among organization for application in digital twin technology in Malaysia. The survey gathered collaboration data from 122 participants, comprising clients, consultants, and contractors. Finally, the data were analysed using each criterion's mean score ranking, normalization techniques, Kruskal-Wallis's, spearman correlation, and overlap analysis. The top 4 critical issues are F05, F07, F06, and F02. The high cost of implementation due to the increased amount of sensor and computational resources needed is considered the most critical. While for the top 3 countermeasures are S04, S06, and S07. Improved planning and prediction for floods are considered the highest rank among the countermeasures. The findings of this study will provide practical insights for organizational practitioners in identifying critical elements and countermeasures when implementing digital twin technology in Malaysia. Future industry studies can build on the strong foundation laid by this research, deepening the understanding of digital twin applications in flood management and risk reduction.
