The implementation of construction circular economics (CCE) will encourage higher green economic growth. The circular approach will be part of connected construction and is an approach that integrates processes and products from design to construction execution and then to the management of buildings, properties, and assets. Decision making for CCE involves many stakeholders who are involved in the entire connection process. In such situations, integration and negotiating support are needed. The aim of this study is to find the theoretical basis of decisions that allow stakeholders to share different preferences when selecting CCE options for the circular economic prototype of building systems. As a result, five dominant factors are obtained: the sustainability of the building system, energy efficiency, capture value creation, a high-level three-party consortia, risk allocation, and transfer. Each stakeholder has their own preferences, and these will determine the different priority of the alternatives to be selected. Finally, the priority of alternative choices is determined based on the connected construction process. A comparison of what is desirable for all stakeholders is the basis of choice before negotiations are carried out. Furthermore, negotiation automation can be achieved because in this paper, the satisficing algorithm is applied to the decision model and stakeholder integration. Optimal payoff and the best-fitting option based on coalition are important and interesting avenues for future research.
This work aimed at increasing the nutritional content of EFB vermicompost using organic additives at specific initial C:N ratio. Seven batches of composts namely EFB+POME (A) in 1:1 weight ratio; fishmeal (B); bonemeal (C); bunch ash (D) and combinations EFB+POME, FM, BM and BA in different proportion to achieve the initial C:N ratio of 35 (Compost E), 42 (Compost F) and 47 (Compost G) were prepared. Sawdust was added into Compost E, F, G as Carbon regulator. The results indicated that the compost maturation was achieved on day 40 based on stable temperature and pH profiles. The changes in initial to final C:N ratio were at 59.8 to 29 (A), 3.69 to 7.4 (B), 8.13 to 10.8 (C), 42.3 to 23 (D), 35 to 16 (Compost E), 42 to 15 (Compost F) and 47 to 22 (Compost G). Fishmeal and bonemeal could enhance the nitrogen (N) and potassium (P) of compost but it was found that composting them alone resulted in pest problem due to the pungent rotten smell. Compost G with initial C:N of 47 produced final compost of C:N 22, suggesting for suitable organic formulations for a healthy compost C:N value and possibly with enhanced quality as compared to EFB compost alone. Future work will focus on establishing the quality of compost in terms of NPK and other elemental compositions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
