Case Study

A case study in green building

Nowadays, sustainable development is a necessary and urgent trend for the global environment. Acting as one of the main parts of the economy. the construction industry also takes part responsibility for protecting the environment through buildings designed with low-impact on the environment. With the green building, there are many benefits to the environment and as the result; it's also good for humans working and living in life. India is experiencing incredible growth in the construction and real estate industry. This rise in the construction sector raises many issues related to the environment and sustainability. As per the economic policy forum, in its report mentioned that in India the energy consumption in buildings is for heating, ventilation and air Conditioner accounts for between 45% and 65% of total electricity consumption. Another study states that the construction sector of India emits about 22% of the total annual emission of CO2 which is very harmful to the environment. Soto handles the adverse situation a new and important concept is emerging in India that is Green Building. Energy efficiency is the key to achieving sustainability in green building. Lowering the energy consumption in construction is starting to become a significant improvement chance for many organizations. This research will identify the benefits of energy efficiency, explore the methods to apply efficient energy usage in green buildings and explore the obstacles in attaining energy efficiency in green buildings. Even though green buildings use a lesser amount of energy compared with usual buildings, energy efficiency is still hard to achieve, due to some barriers to putting into practice energy efficiency. This study will interview a property development company in Malaysia. After analysis, energy efficiency contributed two main benefits in the company such as reduced greenhouse gases emission and lower the air pollution problem, and energy saving. The company implemented electrical feeding and sensor system in the lighting system. passive design, and cross ventilation to achieve energy efficiency in their development projects. However, cost barriers, information barriers, and outdoor condition,s and climate barrier are the obstacles to attaining energy efficiency practices. Due to time constrain, this research was only able to interview one company. With the aim of getting more accurate results, should be interviewed more companies in future research because energy efficiency covers a wide area in the construction field.

An empirical study of factors influencing online shopping behavior

Emerging of information technology in the world has brought a large change in the aspect of the market structure globally. Nowadays, consumers are exposed to several faster digital communication channels, wider networks, and new devices and their connectivity with marketers is growing every day and everywhere in the world. At the same time, the effects of the Internet on consumer purchase behavior and marketing practices is a major and challenging area of research. The study focuses on several influence factors which are important to online buying behaviors. Data were collected from 131 online shoppers with the prior shopping experience. The findings showed that trust, convenience, attitude and purchase intention have a significant impact on Tunisian consumers' online purchases. Improvements in the factors that influence consumers to shop online and working on factors that affect consumers to shop online will help marketers to gain a competitive edge over others.

Niosome as a versatile drug carrier

In recent years, numerous research articles have been published relating to the potential of niosomes to serve as a biodegradable, biocompatible carrier for the delivery of various types of drugs. Niosomes are vesicles that are mostly composed of synthetic surfactants and cholesterol. The vesicular system of niosomes, with its bilayer structure assembled by nonionic surfactants, can increase the bioavailability of a drug to a specific area for a set period of time. Niosomes' amphiphilic nature enhances their ability to encapsulate lipophilic or hydrophilic drugs. Other additives, such as cholesterol, can be used to keep the structure of the niosomes rigid. The efficient use can be defined as a lower dose, fewer side effects, fewer dosages, greater patient compliance, and maximum concentration of the drug at the site of action to reduce unnecessary exposure to the entire body. This narrative review discusses the fundamentals of niosomes, such as their structural components and methods

Design & construction of Dyke walls in a petrochemical tank farm

This technical paper shows how a dyke wall is designed and built in a Petrochemical complex. Petrochemical complexes contain tanks which store various combustible and inflammable materials like Benzene, Toluene, Xylene, and similar type of petrochemicals. The tank farm contains vertical and horizontal tanks to store the above-said materials and is constructed with plain cement concrete (500 mm thick) dyke wall around these tanks for the long life of the structures. Dyke walls of varying heights are constructed. In this study different types of dyke walls constructed based on the locally available materials are shown. The dyke walls are of various types/sizes, keeping in view the fire load aspects and distance from critical operations, area of effectiveness, ease of workmanship in construction, and cost-effectiveness. In this case study, dyke walls have been constructed using locally available materials/bricks and CC blocks. The extract of photos has been obtained from the public domain and has been used within the paper for demonstration.

Door lock using Arduino motion detector by PIR sensor

This project is mainly for the security purpose of any door, it may be for doors for normal houses, or it can be for any other kind of door. But it is better for normal house doors as another type of door has many other higher lock systems and that are better for that purpose. But house door locks are too easy and too basic to open nowadays, for which the robbery and theft are increasing this much, so as a solution it can help us to protect our home

Smart pothole detection system using crowd sourcing

Roadways are the primary mode of transportation in our daily lives. As such it is very important to be cautious about potential mishaps due to road damages which can have serious consequences. Thus for traffic safety, it becomes very important to identify the various road damages, especially the hazardous ones, as quickly as possible. In this project, we are proposing our idea on how a road damage identifier system can work to detect the damages.
