“…Incentive schemes are a very important strategy to promote GBTs adoption. This result is in line with Qian et al (2016), Olubunmi et al (2016), and Shazmin et al (2017), who have pointed out that the practice of providing financial and nonfinancial incentives is important to promoting GBTs and practices adoption within the construction market. Financial incentives, for instance, do not only increase the motivation of construction stakeholders to adopt GBTs, but they also help build a solid financial foundation for adopting GBTs.…”

Because of its potential to deal with negative environmental impacts of construction activities and contribute to sustainable development, the adoption of green building technologies (GBTs) has received a high level of global attention in recent times. Accordingly, studies on strategies to promote GBTs adoption have been done around the world, but they are scarce in developing countries such as Ghana. The aim of this study is to identify the important strategies to promote GBTs adoption with reference to the Ghanaian construction market. To this end, this study commenced with a literature review and interviews with industry professionals to identify 15 potential strategies. An empirical questionnaire survey was carried out with 43 professionals with green building experience. The analysis results revealed that "more publicity through media", "GBTs-related educational and training programs for key stakeholders", "availability of institutional framework for effective GBTs implementation", "a strengthened GBTs R&D", and "financial and further market-based incentives" were the top five strategies to promote the GBTs adoption. Additionally, results comparison indicated that the top strategies to promote GBTs adoption in the developing country of Ghana mostly differ from those in the developed country of the US. Furthermore, factor analysis showed that the underlying strategy groupings were government regulations and standards; incentives and R&D support; awareness and publicity programs; education

“…Research interest in green rating systems has increased exponentially during the last eight years (Doan et al, 2017), and an increase in uptake of these systems in the industry has also been reported. Scholars have identified the major factors that act as drivers regarding the increase in demand for green rating systems: social and end consumer pressure; the need to increase building performance and reduce life cycle cost; global pressure towards sustainability; governmental pressure regarding compliance; and finally financial benefits to the owner and property users; as illustrated in detail figure 1 (Ahn et al, 2013;Olubunmi, Xia and Skitmore, 2016;Balasubramanian and Shukla, 2017;Darko et al, 2017a;Darko, Zhang and Chan, 2017b;Shazmin et al, 2017). Researchers have also discussed the barriers to delivering sustainable construction at an industry level, such as: market deficiency in knowledgeable practitioners and green suppliers; risk of increase in cost; stakeholders' rigidity regarding change; deviation of the project schedule; immature and inconsistent state; and lack of sources of guidance; as illustrated in figure 1 (Ahn et al, 2013;Balasubramanian & Shukla, 2017;Nguyen, Skitmore, Gray, Zhang, & Olanipekun, 2017;Wimala, Akmalah, & Sururi, 2016).…”

The evolution of Building Information Modelling (BIM) is transforming practice in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. BIM provided revolutionary ways of generating, visualizing, exchanging, predicting and monitoring information. Over the last decade, delivering sustainable projects has become a high priority along with the recognition of the role the BIM plays to improve efficiency. However, BIM-enabled sustainability practices are still relatively immature and inconsistent. Previous research has identified challenges in the delivery of green-rated buildings, that include: dealing with documentation, evidencing requirements, monitoring progress, and decision making. Limited studies focused on linking workflow obstacles of green projects to potential improvements using current BIM capabilities. Through interrogating existing research via a systematic literature review, this paper takes the original approach of constructing an 'analysis map' to 'bridge the gap' and highlight current limitations and successes between BIM and sustainability practices. The findings are formulated through two parallel investigation tracks: the first is design task/ BIM capability analysis, and the second is green project delivery problem/BIM enabled sustainability application. This research highlights future potential investigation areas, which are categorized into six clusters: representation; performance simulation; transaction and exchange; documentation; automation; and standardization and guidance.

Study on the hydrogenation of an Mm‐based AB ₅ ‐intermetallic for sustainable building applications

Summary In the present study, a numerical approach regarding the thermal management of an Mm‐based AB5‐intermetallic (MmNi4.6Al0.4) for the hydrogenation process is introduced and analysed. Several heat management scenarios are studied. The numerical model was supported and validated with experimental data in terms of hydrogenation capacity and temperature distribution. The numerical analysis is based on the introduction of the energy, mass, and momentum conservation equations to numerically describe the hydrogenation reaction. The main aim of the present study is the numerical description of the heat management when 200 g of hydrogen are stored (13 kg of the hydride). The heat management cases consider the usage of cooling tubes in combination with high thermal conductivity fins. In general, various parameters affect the efficiency of the heat management. The parameters considered are the fin thickness, the fin number—which is directly connected to the metal hydride thickness convective heat transfer coefficient. A nondimensional parameter (nondimensional conductance [NDC]) specially modified to describe the role of the fins in addition to the cooling tubes is introduced to evaluate the heat management. The target of the study was to reduce the hydrogenation time of almost 13 kg of MmNi4.6Al0.4, and from the parametric study, it has been found that the more efficient conditions are fin thickness between 5 and 8 mm and the convective heat transfer coefficient of 2000 W/m2 K.
