A Comparative study of DAB and Arbitration as methods of resolving Construction Disputes by AL KHAWAJA, DANA JAMAL

“…It is concluded that while the cost of international arbitration may be 15% of a project’s value and may take years to resolve, DAB takes less time. Although time limits increase efficiency relative to arbitration, the ICC rules set time limits for the tribunal’s formation and for submission of rejoinders, but not for the issuance of an award. …”

Urban Geometry: The Effect of Height Diversity and Buildings Configuration on Thermal Performance and Cooling Load at Urban Scale. A Case Study in Dubai / UAE by SHAREEF, SUNDUS LUAY

“…Furthermore, building orientation plays a significant role in the thermal performance of the urban block, and it contributes to the total cooling load energy saving of the urban block by 6.6 % at the peak time of cooling demand. Moreover, the research found that the variation in building heights will increase the wind velocity by up to 23 %, and this improvement in air flow affects the outdoor air temperature positively. …”

Do high energy-efficient buildings increase overheating risk in cold climates? Causes and mitigation measures required under recent and future climates by Mutasim Baba, Fuad

“…While without adequate ventilation, the overheating risk in high-energy-efficient buildings can be higher than old buildings, where decreasing wall and window U-values and infiltration rate has a greater contribution to the increase of indoor temperature, while decreasing window SHGC has a lower contribution to the decrease in indoor temperature compared to the case with adequate ventilation. …”

Optimal scheduling algorithm for residential building distributed energy source systems using Levy flight and chaos-assisted artificial rabbits optimizer by D., Sathish Kumar

“…The efficiency of LFCARO is compared with other algorithms, and the results show that LFCARO performs better than other algorithms. The execution time of the proposed LFCARO is less than 1 sec. for 10 numerical problems and less than 1.5 sec. for the resource scheduling of residential distribution systems. …”
