“…Due to the complexity of the data available for estimating the potentiality of wind energy, Bilir et al, [17] suggested that a technique known as Weibull distribution should be used to provide a clear view of the available potentials. The statistical two-boundary distribution method is widely used in estimating the frequency and density of wind speed circulation [18,19]. On contrary, the Angstrom-Prescott technique is the most commonly solar assessment method due to its simplicity and validity [20].…”

Recent decades show a massive demand increment toward clean sources of energy as the world is experiencing industrial and technological revolutions. Among the various clean energy resources, wind and solar can be utilized effectively. This study aims to study wind and solar energy potentials in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia while identifying seasonal variations of wind and solar energies in the city. The essentiality of the study relies on the added benefits to the country where this research can help in finding other alternatives of energy other than fossil fuel. The Weibull distribution function and the Angstrom techniques were respectively used for the wind and solar resources assessments. The meteorological data involved are for ten years (2010-2019) including wind speed and direction, direct and diffused solar radiations. The results show that the prevailing wind direction at 10 m and 80 m altitudes were north and north-northwest, respectively. Meanwhile, the mean wind speed at 80 m altitude is found to be 4.36 m/s and 3.72 m/s at 10 m altitudes. The highest wind power and wind energy densities were at 80 m altitude with the value of 192.19 W/m2 and 247.29 kWh/m2, respectively. In terms of solar resources, the site has an average potentiality of global solar radiation of 23.13 MJm2. The highest average possible sunshine duration occurred mostly in February, June, and November with respective values between 12.00 and 12.034 hours for most of the years. Lastly, the highest Angstrom’s ratio occurred during June 2016 scoring 0.7942 while the lowest on the other hand was in December 2015, scoring 0.4253.

“…The characteristics of the wind speed and the wind power capacity of any given region can be calculated using several statistical methods, among which the Weibull distribution is the most commonly acceptable technique [16][17][18][19]. This approach consists of various techniques for estimating Weibull's scale and shape parameters based on the type of accessible data and the degree of complexity required.…”

Wind power has experienced very rapid growth over the past two decades as major technological advances have been made to reduce the cost of producing electricity through wind. It is also renowned for its low maintenance and negligible effect on environmental pollution. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the wind energy potential in seven major districts of Bangladesh including Barisal, Chittagong, Dhaka, Khulna, Rajshahi, Rangpur, and Sylhet. Data had been recorded on daily basis for the consecutive five years from 2015 until 2019 and analyzed using the Weibull distribution function for various essential parameters such as wind speed, wind power density and Weibull parameters. Results show that the monthly average wind speed varies between 0.5 m/s to 2.10 m/s for all the divisions except Chittagong which is in the range between 3 m/s and 4.5 m/s. Similarly, the maximum wind power density and wind energy density were also found in the Chittagong division with annual densities that range between 51.86967 W/ to 84.01142 W/and 454.3783 KWh/ to 753.94 KWh/, respectively. The shape and scale parameters (k and c) are varying between 0.774373 – 1.086069 and 0.684588 – 1.735511 m/s, respectively for all the divisions except Chittagong where it ranges between 1.463098 – 1.625881 and 3.131256 – 4.28601 m/s, respectively. Meanwhile, the prevailing wind directions vary from one division to another but mainly between the south and east. This, this study strongly recommends the Chittagong division for the utilization of the potentiality of wind energy typically for small-scale applications.

“…Noise levels beyond the threshold value lead to hearing loss, as well as temporary and permanent damage risk to the ear. This happens after being exposed for a specified period without using adequate protective equipment [64]. Concerning this potential risk, governments in various countries have made regulations that limit the exposure of industrial workers' voices [70].…”

An office is a center of operations where various activities take place, depending on the business conducted. Office conditions determine the credibility and synergy of business entity, as well as the officers' performance and productivity. This study formulates an interior design concept based on the Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE), with Mixed Methods Research (MMR) approach, which emphasizes the empirical meaning based on relevant field data. The research object is the Haleyora Powerindo (HPI) office building in Jakarta. MMR approach ensures the significance level of the work environment quality in the room and the workplace, as well as the officers' performance. The first step was analyzing the spatial conditions in the field based on standardization, which was conducted according to the satisfaction survey of officers. The results show that the work environment quality is high and responds positively. According to the workplace quality, satisfaction is mainly related to workspace area and quality, comfort and style of furniture, circulation, and accessibility to the work table, effectiveness and efficiency of workplace layout, ICT implementation, and HVAC and maintenance. Social space and entertainment facilities provide flexibility in interacting between officers of different divisions that were not in the previous office. Based on the results of multiple regression calculations, the in-door environment (IEQ) and the officer workspace (WQ) quality have a significant effect on officer performance (OP). These are 3 main factors critical in conducting systematic evaluations to obtain results from office space design. This study is expected to be a strategic reference for planning and designing a similar spatial atmosphere in different locations or cases
