Due to the high cost of housing, many people are forced to make maximum use of the available space and space in their flats. This can be achieved by purchasing multifunctional furniture. However, such furniture is often made from traditional materials and has an unattractive design. This study presents the development of the concept and artistic image of multifunctional eco furniture in the national style, designed for use in the home, meeting modern consumer demands. The work presents the results of a questionnaire survey, on the basis of which 3D models were developed, and a new composition of a durable material for the structural elements of multifunctional furniture is proposed. Manufactured a model of a transformable multifunctional complex in the Kazakh national ethnic style using a new durable eco-friendly material consisting of the shredded plastic waste, epoxy resin and hardener. The material's durability and environmental friendliness have been tested using modern physico-chemical and mechanical investigation methods.

Hydrothermal Evaluation of Vernacular Housing: Comparing Case Studies of Waste PET Bottles, Stone, and Adobe Houses

et al. 2022

This work shows the humidity and thermal evaluation of different case studies of houses. The analyses focused on room prototypes and houses built in different regions of Querétaro, México. Three different climatic zones were included with the evaluations of houses and prototypes. The assessments of internal and external parameters in residential buildings are also shown. The internal parameter measurements were done with hydro-thermometers and thermography images. Six structures were evaluated, one of the conventional housing materials and five of alternative or vernacular materials. The predicted mean vote (PMV) and the predicted percentage dissatisfied (PPD) were determined using the average temperature and relative humidity values, and they were considered to be dynamic because they can change depending on many factors. The six dwelling insulating properties were associated with their construction materials, design, location, and other factors. The six houses have many differences, but considering their behavior in their location, the two floor porous stone house got the best results. On the contrary, the flagstone house with a gabled roof of galvanized sheets had a cold perception despite many advantageous elements, failing to provide comfort in such a cold location. Contrasting these with other adobe constructions, the analyzed one had low thermal insulation, which was explained by its characteristics. PET and adobe uninhabited prototypes had medium to cold perceptions. The PET prototype has excellent and adjustable insulations, both on temperature and RH, considering the passive illumination and ventilation of its glass bottle skylights.

Construction projects have significant impacts on the environment. They adversely affect many areas, such as energy consumption, global warming and resource depletion. Green buildings have been found to be the most effective way to reduce these impacts. As a developing country with limited resources, Jordan is giving too much prominence to sustainability in construction projects. However, moving forward with Green Building Projects (GBPs) is a great challenge. Most managers do not have much experience in managing these projects yet. They are not fully aware of the importance of project management factors which can significantly affect the delivery process of GBPs. Research addressing these factors has become a crucial need in the construction industry. The main objective of this study is to identify the major project management factors required to deliver GBPs successfully in Jordan. The questionnaire was distributed to determine the significance of nineteen project management factors and SPSS software was utilized to perform the data analysis. The results show that for GBPs in Jordan to be successfully delivered, there must be clear lines of communication during the design and planning stages. The study concludes with recommendations for improving GBP distribution in Jordan. A further detailed study is needed to investigate and improve communication channels in GBPs. The practical implications of this study are to help the stakeholders in the construction industry understand management activities in the green building industry in a better and more realistic way. In addition, identifying these factors will help control future projects and ensure correct decisions are made from the beginning of the project to maximize the project's success.
