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.

Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) has become the tip of the iceberg since technology globalization has created a welcoming environment for green construction. However, there are several roadblocks to overcome, this includes barriers to technology. Dependence on technology stifles the autonomous growth of one's technology. This implementation of sustainable green building has been implemented in ATBU such as green construction, financing, among others. The study has the primary aim of assessing the impediment to the sustainable implementation of green building practices in ATBU. Quantitative research design is adopted in this study where questionnaire survey strategy was used to collect data. There is a total of 180 staff that constitute the respondent scope where Krejcie and Morgan table of 1970 are used to determine the sample. 123 are adopted as a sample. In the process of the survey, 123 survey are distributed and only 101 are retrieved for the descriptive analysis and correlational statistical analysis was used in the exploration of the result. It was found that good ventilation light is the indicator of the green building that was lacking a technical know-how, with lack of professionals to handle the task, and the predominant practice by governments and institutions of separating capital and operating budgets rather than applying life-cycle budgeting. The study found .650** strong correlational relationship between green building and performance of academic activities. The study concluded that there is a low level of green building awareness in Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi. The building projects in Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi adopted few elements of green building assessment categories and the level of green building practice of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi building projects to each building assessment categories is not in line with the green building practice. This study will further enable the environment of the abubakar tafawa balewa university to consider various options by using this study as a benchmark for the evaluation and ranking among the global university.

The real estate sector is undergoing significant changes due to the rise of innovative financing models and Prop-Tech adoption. However, the effects of these developments on key real estate variables such as financing options, investor confidence, market growth, and property valuation have not been adequately explored. This study addresses the gap by investigating how these factors interact and impact the overall real estate market, especially in the context of emerging economies. The need for this study arises from the growing reliance on technology and new financial structures in real estate, where understanding their implications is vital for ensuring market sustainability and investor security. The aim is to assess the influence of innovative financing models and Prop-Tech adoption on key real estate factors, with a focus on Nigerian real estate markets. A structural equation modeling (SEM) approach was applied to data from 327 respondents in the real estate sector to test the relationships between these variables. Results indicate that innovative financing models have a significant positive impact on financing options (? = 0.606, p < 0.001), investor confidence (? = 1.108, p < 0.001), market growth (? = 0.182, p < 0.001), and property valuation (? = 0.173, p < 0.01). Similarly, Prop-Tech adoption positively affects market growth (? = 0.762, p < 0.001) and property valuation (? = 0.770, p < 0.001), but negatively influences investor confidence (? = -0.128, p < 0.001), suggesting that technology adoption can raise concerns among investors. In conclusion, the study highlights the significant roles of innovative financing models and Prop-Tech adoption in driving market growth and property valuation. However, their differing effects on investor confidence warrant attention, as addressing these concerns is essential for fostering balanced and sustainable growth in the real estate sector.

Climate change presents significant challenges to various sectors, particularly real estate investment, in regions like northeastern Nigeria, which are highly vulnerable to environmental fluctuations. This study addresses the critical need to understand how climate change impacts real estate investment decisions in states such as Borno, Yobe, Bauchi, Gombe, Taraba, and Adamawa. The primary aim of this research is to analyze the correlation between climate change impacts and real estate investment value, utilizing quantitative research methods. A structured questionnaire was distributed among real estate stakeholders, with a total sample size of 300 respondents, including 50 participants from each state in the region, employing purposive sampling for targeted insights. The analysis revealed a significant negative correlation (r = 0.65, p = 0.002) between climate change impacts and investment value, indicating that heightened environmental risks lead to decreased investor confidence and reduced property investments. Regression analysis further confirmed this trend, showing a regression coefficient of -0.50 (p = 0.001), suggesting that for each unit increase in climate change impact, real estate investment decreases by half a unit. T-test results highlighted a significant decline in investments post-climate events (t 298) = 3.45, p = 0.001), while ANOVA results demonstrated significant differences in investment levels across states (F 5, 294) = 4.20, p = 0.001). These findings collectively affirm that climate change significantly influences real estate investment decisions in northeastern Nigeria, necessitating urgent strategies for climate resilience and adaptation in the real estate sector. Stakeholders, including policymakers and investors, must recognize the importance of integrating climate considerations into their planning and decision-making processes to mitigate potential losses and foster sustainable growth in the real estate market.

This study examines the impact of Green Financing on Sustainable Housing Development, focusing on the mediating role of Policy Support. As urbanization accelerates, particularly in developing countries, the need for sustainable housing solutions intensifies. Green Financing, which funds environmentally friendly projects, is considered a potential driver of sustainable housing, though its success depends on supportive policies. Using a quantitative approach and structural equation modeling (SEM), the study analyzes data from 500 stakeholders in the housing sector, including policymakers, financial institutions, and developers. Results show that Green Financing significantly boosts Policy Support (path coefficient = 0.832, t-statistic = 31.150, p-value = 0.000), and also has a positive effect on Sustainable Housing Development (path coefficient = 0.636, t-statistic = 9.114, p-value = 0.000). Furthermore, Policy Support plays a significant mediating role in enhancing Sustainable Housing Development (path coefficient = 0.250, t-statistic = 3.458, p-value = 0.001). These findings highlight the importance of integrating Green Financing with strong policy frameworks to promote sustainable housing. The study recommends targeted financial and regulatory measures to encourage green finance, and suggests further research on its long-term impacts.

This study examines the relationship between facilities management challenges, green maintenance funds, and organizational performance, focusing on the mediating role of green maintenance funds. As sustainability becomes a key focus in facilities management, challenges such as resource constraints, inadequate training, and lack of strategic planning hinder the effective implementation of green initiatives. Using a quantitative approach, the study collected survey data from facilities managers across various sectors and applied structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze the relationships between the key variables. Results indicate that facilities management challenges significantly impact the allocation of green maintenance funds (? = 0.852, p = 0.000), which in turn positively influences performance (? = 0.190, p = 0.046). Furthermore, green maintenance funds partially mediate the relationship between management challenges and performance (? = 0.162, p = 0.000). These findings suggest that addressing management challenges by allocating green maintenance funds can enhance organizational performance. The study highlights the importance of investing in green maintenance practices to improve both environmental outcomes and overall efficiency. It recommends that organizations prioritize sustainability, overcome facilities management challenges, and allocate sufficient resources to green maintenance to improve performance.

performance of Nigeria’s real estate sector has increasingly been shaped by fluctuations in the stock market and macroeconomic conditions. Despite its potential as a driver of economic growth, the sector remains vulnerable to market volatility, inflationary pressures, and limited capital market participation. This study examines the relationship between stock market dynamics and real estate sector performance in Nigeria from 2009 to 2023, considering the roles of inflation and interest rates. A quantitative research design was adopted using secondary annual data obtained from the Nigerian Exchange Group and the Central Bank of Nigeria. Stock market dynamics were proxied by the All-Share Index (ASI) and market capitalization, while real estate performance was measured by the NGX Real Estate Index. Data analysis using Stata involved descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression modeling. The results indicate that both the ASI (? = 0.0023, p < 0.01) and market capitalization (? = 0.0040, p < 0.01) exerted positive and statistically significant effects on real estate sector performance. Inflation had a negative and marginally significant effect (? = ?0.6603, p ? 0.053), whereas interest rates were insignificant (? = 0.4832, p = 0.417). The model’s R² value of 0.987 suggests that 98.7% of variations in the Real Estate Index were explained by the selected variables. Overall, the findings establish that stock market dynamics are critical determinants of real estate sector performance in Nigeria, highlighting the need for strengthened capital market development and policies that enhance macroeconomic stability and support listed real estate firms.
