“…As highlighted by numerous scholars, knowing the desired effect or intended purpose (intention of the source) is key to exploring effectiveness (e.g., Bond-Barnard et al, 2013;Bourne, 2016;Weaver, 2007). Several aspects such as timeliness, which is about making sure the information is current and receivers get it on time (e.g., Liu & Li, 2017;Wooding, 2005), correctness or accuracy regarding providing correct information and checking what is communicated (e.g., Freeman, 2016;Zulch, 2016), goal-achieving, which is about making sure the goal or desired effect is achieved (e.g., Affare, 2012;Lys, 2015), and completeness of the conveyed and received messages (e.g., Thomas et al, 1999;) are examined in existing studies about measuring communication effectiveness.…”

The idea that sustainable buildings can be used as teaching tools for both formal and informal environmental education and sustainable building education (SBE) has gained attention in both research and practice. Evidence bases from existing studies show that buildings can engage their users in sustainability themes through architectural design, organization, and programming and communicate various SBE messages. However, the nature, process, and components of this architectural communication remain largely unexplored by empirical researchers. This dissertation research links the theories of communication and pedagogical architecture to address this gap and offers a conceptual framework--Components of Informative Architectural Communication in Sustainable Buildings--to explore (a) the source (design and programming team) and their educational intentions; (b) channel (the building itself with their features, communication strategies, etc.); (c) messages (the content for sustainable building knowledge); and (d) receivers (building users such as occupants and visitors) and their learning outcomes. Comparing the intended and received SBE messages provides a way to measure the success (effectiveness) of the mentioned communication. This qualitative case study uses the offered conceptual framework to examine three living buildings, types of sustainable buildings with higher performance goals and educational intention. Interviews with design team members and occupants (which include personal meaning map drawings), field observations, and documentations are the main data collection methods, and the data is analyzed with mixed methods. Findings show that several architectural, interpretational, interactional, and promotional strategies are employed in living buildings to communicate sustainable building knowledge. And occupying living buildings for lengths of time on a daily, weekly, and/or annual basis, compared to people who come for short periods of time, makes a significant difference in receiving the messages (sustainable building knowledge gain). Based on both theoretical and empirical findings, this work concludes with key insights and implications for practitioners and future directions for research on pedagogical architecture and living buildings.

Smart-Sheet is a project management software product, developed and sold by Smart consultancies. It is designed to assist a project manager in developing a plan, assigning resources to tasks, tracking progress, managing the budget, and analysing workloads. Smart sheet can be used as a standalone tool for tracking project progress or it can be used for tracking complex project distributed in many geographical areas and managed by a number of project managers. Smart Sheet is designed to assist a project manager in: 1) Developing a plan, 2) Assigning resources to tasks, 3) Tracking progress, 4) Managing budget and 5) Analysing workloads. In this study an effort is made to estimate the changes in overall cost and time required to execute the phase 1 work of Nagpur metro rail project when done by conventional execution approach and when done by project management software tool of smart sheet Keywords: Project management, Smart sheet, Conventional construction execution, Cost optimization, Time optimization, Resource optimization.
