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

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.
