“…The first vectors show the relative weights between the compared factors, where the sum of all factors equals one [20][21][22]. The AHP process involves four phases: build the decision hierarchy, determine the relative importance of factors, evaluate each alternative and calculate its overall weight in regard to each attribute, and check the consistency of the subjective evaluations [23]. In this section, each factor was measured on the Likert scale of five points as (Does not affect it, slightly affects it, directly affects it, high significance, affect it).…”

The views at the construction field emboss that construction parties are looking for a higher benefit during implementing aspects of any project. The feasibility study is one of the serious and significant matters in construction sectors as well as in other engineering fields as it has a high impact on investment decision-making. To gain rigorous decisions from decision-makers or contractual parties (client, consultant, and contractor), there is a need for valuable feasibility studies in any construction project. This paper aims to study the influence of some identified factors on feasibility studies as well as the extents of priorities of various feasibility studies. In this paper, the critical factors that have an impact on sequences of initial feasibility studies during the lifecycle of a construction project were identified as well as the associated studies (legal, environment, marketing, technical, managerial, schedule, financial and economic). In this study, 12 factors were identified, analyzed, and thoroughly discussed to have recommendations of their impact on initial feasibility in construction projects in Iraq via a questionnaire survey and a series of expert interviews conducted in Iraq. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a multi-criteria decision support system was adopted to examine the weight of each factor. In addition, an analysis by the Relative Importance Index (RII) was carried out to rank eight types of feasibility studies in terms of their perceived importance. The results of AHP indicated that the local shortage of database about the feasibility study was the most critical factor. Indeed, RII's result showed that all kinds of feasibility for construction projects in Iraq are not adopted by the client. In fact, the economic feasibility study was the most popular than others.

“…Despite a wide available literature on the sustainability concept [4,[6][7][8][9], to date the definitions of "sustainable building" are still unclear and biased [10]. Generally, the terminology "design and construction of sustainable buildings" usually refers to the energy efficiency, renewable materials, and reduction of emissions, wastes and pollutants in buildings, neglecting the relations between built, natural and social systems [11].…”

Radiological risk affect the quality of the environment in buildings since population and workers can be potentially exposed to high level of dose. Radon gas emanated from both subsoil and building materials represents the most important source of radiation exposure for people. This study investigates the sustainability concept of a small rural village of Ischia Island, named Ciglio, in relation to the radiological risk. Radon activity concentration was measured in typical green tuff dwellings and in water samples collected from a local spring using E-Perm devices. Moreover, for green-tuff as building material, the radon emanation coefficient was calculated by gamma spectroscopy. The results highlight the importance to perform environmental radon monitoring and to investigate the radon content of building materials, especially in geographical areas characterized by traditional use of typical stones for constructions. In conclusion, the sustainability development of rural buildings is possible if the radiological risk for inhabitants and workers was assessed.

This research deals with the impact of design characteristics that create attractive and healthy internal environments for a school building, as one of the most important issues on evaluating the random position of a local school building in Mosul city northern Iraq. The daylight effects factors that support the efficiency of interiors in a school building was discussed in this work, Where, the specific quality of design characteristics related to building components and daylight elements classes were used. The study employed (Velux Daylight Visualizer-2012) to design the research methodology in order to evaluate three school building types in Mosul city. The gained results of this study confirmed that the design properties related to the factors of daylight have effective role in creating healthy interiors and increase educational productivity. Also, the gained result of this study can be considered as a useful reference for architects, planner, landscape and researchers that they work in Mosul municipality. The objective of this paper is to determine the key design properties affecting to achieve healthy spatial environment, which are related to two main daylight factors. First the solarization average for building at all. Second the homogeneity of daylight at work surface in classroom space.
