The universal ventilation system in Polish kindergartens is the natural ventilation system. This is due to the fact that these buildings are several or even several dozen years old. National regulation for natural ventilation define only general guidelines. There are in the legislation acts only the permissible tightness of the building joinery and the minimum value of the air infiltrate to the rooms. The amount of air is constant regardless of the room's purpose or the number of people staying in them. Over the last decade, in such buildings incomplete thermomodernization treatments were carried out, as a result of which the inflow of air to the rooms was most often limited, and thus the indoor air quality decreased. While, the low indoor air quality may lead not only to the poor well-being of users, but also to low efficiency of work and insufficient learning of new messages. This problem is extremely important in the case of a group of people who are not be able to determine the requirements in relation to IAQ. As has been shown in the Scandinavian countries, in the rooms where children are staying there the proper ventilation system several times reduces the chance of allergic symptoms. At the same time, research carried out in Denmark showed that the low indoor air quality in school premises negatively affects the learning efficiency of children. That is why it is extremely important to ensure proper microclimate conditions in the rooms where the youngest children are staying. The article presents the results of research on the indoor air quality (IAQ) in 4 kindergartens in Poland, located in the city with 200,000 inhabitants. The buildings in which research was carried out were built in the years 1970-1993 and were equipped with a gravity ventilation system. The analysis covered the variability of the basic parameters describing the indoor air quality, i.e. temperature, relative humidity and concentration of carbon dioxide.

Background: The pace of diffusion of BIM (Building Information Modelling) use is considered to increase with governmental initiatives in which public clients in countries like Finland, Singapore, United Kingdom, and Sweden begin requiring BIM as a part of the project delivery. Currently, larger contractor firms use BIM to a certain extent. However, BIM use by mid-sized contractor firms (that is, firms with 50–500 employees that can successfully compete with larger contractors on projects costing a maximum of 50 million Euros) is relatively unknown. Hence, the aim of the paper is to explore current use and perceived constraints and driving forces of BIM-implementation with respect to mid-sized contractors. Methods: A mixed method approach was applied, and data was collected through an interview study and a survey involving chief executive officers or their closest sub-ordinates in mid-sized contractor firms in Sweden. The survey was based on a technology-, organization-, and environment framework that is used in information systems research to study the use of inter-organizational information systems. The total population of firms in the survey corresponded to 104. The study presented the preliminary results based on 32 answers (with a 31% response rate). Results: Fifty-eight percent of the surveyed respondents stated that they had been involved in a project in which BIM was used in some manner. The most commonly used application included visualization, which also facilitates coordination and communication. The biggest perceived constraints involved partners that did not use BIM, lack of demand from clients, and the absence of internal demand in the company. With respect to the two last obstacles, significant differences existed between users and non-users. The most common perceived driving forces included the fact that BIM is perceived as a means to follow technical development and that BIM provides competitive advantages to the company. Conclusions: It is concluded
On-demand mobility (ODM) for inter-urban and intra-urban applications effectively represents a new mode of travel. The implication is that traditional approaches for estimated demand based on historical data for gener...

This study considers the torsional vibration of a pipe pile in a transversely isotropic saturated soil layer. Based on Biot's poroelastic theory and the constitutive relations of the transversely isotropic medium, the dynamic governing equations of the outer and inner transversely isotropic saturated soil layers are derived. The Laplace transform is used to solve the governing equations of the outer and inner soil layers. The dynamic torsional response of the pipe pile in the frequency domain is derived utilizing 1D elastic theory and the continuous conditions at the interfaces between the pipe pile and the soils. The time domain solution is obtained by Fourier inverse transform. A parametric study is conducted to demonstrate the influence of the anisotropies of the outer and inner soil on the torsional dynamic response of the pipe pile.

The resiliency of transportation infrastructures has been a major concern for the continuity of road services. In order to assess these issues, road network analysis is crucial to investigate the functioning of the existing road network and pinpoint each critical road segment. This enables early preparation for road operators and planners to focus on the road segment user most dependent on of which will be impacted most in case of disruption. This paper aims to introduce a method integrating different network analyses using a combination of three measures namely road segment length, betweenness centrality, and road density to identify critical road segments. The result shows the relationship between the different modes proposed with respect to the topological data implemented and concluded as the critical value of each road segment. This paper also includes the application of the methodology in a national scale region of Peninsular Malaysia road network.

Data generation has increased drastically over the past few years. Data management has also grown in importance because extracting the significant value out of a huge pile of raw data is of prime important thing to make different decisions. One of the important sectors nowadays is construction sector, especially building energy efficiency field. Collecting big amount of data, using different kinds of big data analysis can help to improve construction process from the energy efficiency perspective. This article reviews the understanding of Big Data, methods used for Big Data analysis and the main problems with Big Data in the field of energy.

In Hong Kong, over one-quarter of the total electricity use was consumed by residential buildings. Recently, the Hong Kong Government issued a practice note namely Design and construction Requirements for Energy Efficiency of Residential Buildings. This practice note set out the Residential Thermal Transfer Values (RTTV) of building envelopes. To enhance energy efficiency of residential buildings, the RTTV of wall (RTTVwall) and roof (RTTVroof) should not exceed 14 and 4 W/m2, respectively. Being one of the most densely populated cities in the world, most of building developments in Hong Kong are high-rise blocks located in densely built zones. The shading effects due to surrounding buildings could substantially restrict the diffuse light coming from the sky. In 2003, a practice note on lighting and ventilation requirements was issued. Referring to the performance-based approach, the note adopted the vertical daylight factor (VDF) to specify the daylighting performance of the building. The VDF should not be less than 8% for habitable rooms and 4% for domestic kitchens. This paper presents the energy performance of recently designed building fulfills the RTTV requirements. It found that VDF is a good indicator to shows the lighting elecricty consumption in buildings. For most of the bedroom, about 40% of air conditioning and 3 % lighting energy can be saved.
