This is mainly dominated by air conditioning systems to provide space cooling and dehumidifying. In this paper, three passive design strategies to reduce cooling energy and attain a good daylight environment in an

BIM performance assessment system using a K-means clustering algorithm J. Asian Archit. Build. Eng. (IF 0.384) Pub Date : 2020-08-31 Hyeon-Seung Kim; Sung-Keun Kim; Leen-Seok Kang
ABSTRACT Currently, various guidelines regarding building information modelling (BIM) technology policy are being developed in different countries. However, for many companies, the cost-effectiveness of BIM investment remains unclear. Some studies suggest a return on investment (ROI) as the result of cost-effective analysis calculations, which can be obtained by the introduction of BIM. However, a

Development of an income and cost simulation model for studio apartment using probabilistic estimation J. Asian Archit. Build. Eng. (IF 0.384) Pub Date : 2020-08-24 Ji-Myong Kim; Kiyoung Son; Junho Jang; Seunghyun Son
The Korean construction industry has attracted interest and investment demand for lease-oriented investment products, such as shopping malls and studio apartments, as a substitute for financial products because of the low interest rates of the banks that resulted from the economic recession after the global financial crisis in 2008. However, there have been huge economic damages because of problems

The potential of special zone development as a tool in land-use control - a case study of Yinchuan City, Western China J. Asian Archit. Build. Eng. (IF 0.384) Pub Date : 2020-08-17 Meng Wang; Aleksandra Krstikj; Hisako Koura
ABSTRACT The designation of special development zones is extensively employed in China to promote urbanization. This study aimed to assess the potential of special zone development as a tool in leading sustainable land use in Yinchuan City, Western China. Through an integrated framework that estimated the resultant land use pattern of zones related to institution, implementation, and planning, critical
