Abstract

The increasing demand for energy-efficient solutions in public buildings has led to a growing interest in sustainable technologies for modern mosques. As places of worship with high foot traffic and long operating hours, mosques represent an ideal setting for implementing energy-efficient lighting and climate control systems. However, there is limited research on optimizing energy usage in these religious spaces while maintaining comfort and functionality. This study aims to analyze the energy efficiency of lighting and climate control systems in modern mosques and propose improvements that align with sustainable energy practices. Using an electrical engineering approach, this research employs simulation models and energy consumption data to evaluate current systems in selected mosques. Various energy-efficient technologies, including LED lighting, smart thermostats, and automated climate control systems, are assessed for their potential in reducing energy consumption. The results indicate that integrating energy-efficient lighting and climate control solutions can significantly reduce energy use, with potential savings of up to 40%. The study concludes that adopting these systems not only promotes sustainability but also aligns with the Islamic principles of conservation and stewardship of resources. Recommendations for mosque administrators include investing in smart energy solutions and regular monitoring to optimize energy consumption.

Abstract

The increasing reliance on energy-intensive active cooling systems in modern tropical architecture presents a significant challenge to sustainable development. Traditional, vernacular design strategies, such as the Islamic Mashrabiya (ornate latticework screens), offer time-tested principles for passive climate mitigation that are largely underexplored in contemporary building science. This study aims to quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of integrating Mashrabiya-inspired building facades as a passive cooling strategy to reduce solar heat gain and enhance thermal comfort in modern tropical buildings. A quantitative, simulation-based methodology was employed. Using building performance simulation software (EnergyPlus), a prototypical contemporary office building in a hot-humid tropical climate was modeled. Several facade designs incorporating different Mashrabiya patterns, porosities, and materials were simulated and compared against a conventional glazed curtain wall baseline. Key performance indicators included indoor operative temperature, solar radiation transmittance, and annual cooling energy demand. The findings demonstrate that facades with optimized Mashrabiya-inspired designs significantly improved building performance. The best-performing screen designs reduced direct solar heat gain by up to 55% and lowered the annual cooling energy consumption by over 25% compared to the baseline, while still maintaining sufficient daylight levels.  The application of Mashrabiya principles is a highly effective and viable passive design strategy for modern tropical architecture. This research confirms that reinterpreting traditional architectural elements offers a culturally resonant and sustainable pathway to creating energy-efficient and comfortable buildings.

Abstract

Elderly and disabled Muslim worshippers often face significant physical challenges, particularly during the prostration (Sujud) phase of prayer, which can lead to pain, discomfort, and difficulty in performing religious obligations. Standard prayer equipment frequently fails to address these specific ergonomic needs. This study aimed to design, develop, and evaluate an ergonomic prayer rug and a mechanical prostration aid to reduce biomechanical stress and enhance comfort for this demographic. Employing a mechanical engineering design approach, the study involved anthropometric data analysis, biomechanical modeling of prayer movements, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for material stress simulation. Prototypes were fabricated and subsequently tested with a group of elderly and disabled participants. Data were collected using pressure mapping sensors and standardized comfort assessment surveys. The results demonstrated that the ergonomically designed rug, incorporating multi-density foam, significantly reduced peak pressure on the knees and forehead. The mechanical prostration aid effectively lowered the required muscular exertion and improved stability during the transition to and from Sujud. This research concludes that applying engineering principles to the design of prayer aids provides a viable solution for improving the safety, accessibility, and quality of religious practice for worshippers with physical limitations.

Abstract

Historical mosque minarets in the Indonesian archipelago, vital components of cultural heritage, are situated in a high-seismicity region. Their unreinforced masonry (URM) construction presents a significant, yet unquantified, vulnerability, posing threats to public safety and heritage preservation. This study provides a quantitative structural engineering analysis to assess this seismic vulnerability and establish a methodological framework for evaluating seismic retrofitting interventions. A diagnosis-led approach was employed, integrating in-situ non-destructive diagnostics (NDT), ambient vibration testing (AVT) for dynamic characterization, and advanced non-linear finite element modeling (FEM) on representative case-study structures. Results reveal a critical gap between structural capacity and seismic demand. The models predict catastrophic failure at low peak ground accelerations (0.15g), far below the 500-year hazard level (>0.40g). Unique Indonesian materials (volcanic stone, weak mortar) render existing international fragility models inadequate for this typology. Indonesian minarets possess critical seismic deficiencies requiring urgent, scientifically-grounded intervention. The validated models serve as essential tools for designing and testing culturally appropriate, minimally invasive retrofitting strategies to ensure the preservation of this irreplaceable built heritage.

Abstract

This study investigates the differences in mechanical behavior and stress distribution between two types of bolted steel connections—splice and endplate joints—using the Finite Element Method (FEM). Numerical simulations were conducted with MIDAS FEA NX, employing SS400 structural steel and A325 high-strength bolts to model beam connections subjected to bending loads. The analysis focused on evaluating von Mises stress distribution, deformation behavior, and load transfer mechanisms. Results showed that the endplate connection exhibited higher stiffness —approximately 5% less deflection than the splice connection —but also experienced 9.6% higher local stresses concentrated near the weld and in the outer bolt regions. Conversely, the splice connection exhibited a more uniform stress distribution and greater ductility, enabling controlled local yielding and improved energy dissipation. FEM predictions closely matched analytical beam theory with less than 5% deviation, confirming the accuracy of the numerical model. The findings suggest that endplate joints are suitable for rigid moment-resisting frames, while splice connections are preferable for applications requiring flexibility, fatigue resistance, and ease of assembly.

Abstract

Public and religious facilities, like mosques, often suffer from substantial energy waste due to large physical footprints, manual control, and highly intermittent, non-linear occupancy patterns. This chronic inefficiency results in high utility bills, diverting scarce community funds away from core charitable and social welfare missions, underscoring the necessity for advanced, cost-effective automation. This study aims to design and empirically validate the “Smart Mosque Architecture,” an integrated Internet of Things (IoT) system utilizing a novel Dynamic Prayer Time-Based Control Algorithm (DPT-BCA) to proactively optimize energy consumption across lighting and HVAC systems. A quantitative, quasi-experimental time-series analysis was conducted over a six-month experimental period, comparing the system’s performance against a four-month manual control baseline. The custom low-cost system achieved a statistically significant average monthly energy reduction of 30.0% (p < 0.001), driven primarily by a 47.4% reduction in HVAC runtime. Financial analysis confirmed the system’s economic viability, yielding a simple Return on Investment (ROI) in just eighteen months. The Smart Mosque Architecture is a robust and superior predictive control solution for religious facilities. The DPT-BCA successfully maximizes energy efficiency and service quality, establishing a scalable, ethical blueprint for sustainable institutional facility management worldwide.
