Healthcare sector in India has been developing at rapid pace since last few years with new policies and schemes launched by the government time to time. In private hospitals where a middle class section of the society seems to be unable to afford the cost due to pocket budget, only rich people can afford these hospitals. What can be said about poor section of the society of India who is below poverty line, probably they move to government aided hospitals where cheaper and affordable treatment has to be provided. This problem in Indian healthcare sector prevails in all parts of India on account of poor implementation of scheme on healthcare industry. As being a responsible citizen if India, technical minds are answerable to solve these problems by means of their expertise and capabilities. In this research paper, the main focus is to enhance the efficiency of hospital design through modern trends and practice which will play a vital role in shaping the future of healthcare industry. India hospitals need to be upgraded with not only latest equipment but also should be upgraded with best possible design solutions for maintaining quality of standard in the field of healthcare education for the architects, planners, engineers and students as well.
This study presents a tool which aims to support construction managers, particularly by combining BIM technology and the Earned Value Management (EVM) technique to allow the visualization of cost and time performance of construction works at a given time in a 3D BIM model. The following research will expose concepts and tools of integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) system tools in construction projects; the proposed will be tested in a real-case project and all the different software tools that can be used for modeling and customize project information workflow. The research will demonstrate how to develop an Earned Value Management (EVM) technique based on the information from Autodesk Revit models; the research will explain how to extract data from the project and analyze all the earn value variables.
Acoustic and thermal performance greatly affect in lecture halls as, acoustic, architecture and thermal treatments play an important role to enhance acoustic and thermal performance in space and therefore increasing sentiment of acoustic and thermal comfort in space. This research get down to the role of acoustic, architecture and thermal treatments to enhance acoustic and thermal performance of internal acoustic and thermal environment for main lecture hall of Tanta engineering whereas, the hall suffers great acoustic and thermal problems, all because of several reasons, most important it, sky light of ceiling, integration work done between acoustic and thermal treatments to achieve best acoustic and thermal performance and using ODEON software to evaluate suggested treatments acoustically and selection the best then evaluate it by DESIGN BUILDER software to calculate the range of energy consumption reduce in hall after these suggested treatments. It helped to enhance acoustic and thermal performance level in hall and increasing sentiment of acoustic and thermal comfort in hall. RT value of lecture hall reduce from RT=3.5 Hz to RT=0.95 Hz and the range of energy consumption reduce in hall after these treatments 70%.
Article was devoted for a study of vineyard configuration concert halls, considered as a concept allowing most innovative approach to the architectural and acoustical design, contemporary now and outgoing to the feature. Concept is based on two simple architectural manipulations that change overall spatial and sound perception of the room. Thus, there were two main aims set and proven: first-the most favourable acoustic conditions among today's concert halls with capacity over 1800 listeners can be provided by vineyard configuration, second-terrace solutions, alternative to rooms with boxed configurations and balconies, delivers architects the new possibilities for spatial shaping of concert interiors. Moreover, elaboration presents the authors’ definition of vineyard configuration, which targets at capturing all features of arrangement. Showing the favourable aspects of hall comes together with revealing limitations, in order to keep the study as fair as possible. Research were based on thorough and yearslong study for of both acoustical and architectural domains in pursuit of prove for novelty and usability of vineyardconfiguration over others existing concert hall layouts. The method of research was: analysis, cooperative analysis, and mostly graphical analysis of photographs and illustrations gathered in situ and with the use of literature review. In the formulation of conclusions synthesis and critical review were used, for acoustical issues like: reverberation time, lateral acoustical wave reflection, volume, clarity, Initial Time Delay Gap (ITDG), Intermural Cross Correlation (IACC), acoustical field spaciousness and blend and architectural issues like: layout size, volume, visual perception of the interiors, overall room geometry, evacuation, capacity and human interactions.
