Concept of sustainable buildings is defined as use of various strategy and standards of working to intensify the quality of life of occupants, secure the environment of neighborhood by lessen the construction rate of consumption of natural resources. Conventional buildings are not much conveniently rated over energy efficient buildings as per indoor climate basis, whereas when studied furthered the users have different reviews. The quality occupancy when evaluated from varying results of users has various aspects. Inappropriate use of building may concerns in bad experience in conventional buildings by the users. New area for further research could be identified as required information for an operation and use is difficult for overall quality experience of the building. There is a shortage of research that takes into account of “Unawareness” or “inconveniences” of occupancy behavior with a survey defining the authentic gap in research. Research on use of energy efficient buildings is increasing, but there is still a scope to give more information and training in operation and use. This paper justifies occupancy evaluation with indoor climate, building operation, occupancy attitudes, and economic.

The value of air permeability, or the value of n50 provides important information about the impermeability of the building envelope and thus the quality of internal environment of the building. It is also one of the main evaluation criteria in classifying energy efficient buildings. Air permeability is determined by Blower Door Test where the fan blows air in or out from the measured area. The measurement is performed in a overpressure and afterwards in a underpressure during which the leaks are detected. The frame is usually placed into the front door which themselves is a weak part in the building envelope, and thus the rate of leakage completely denies. The effect of leakage of the front door is so significant that it can often cause a misclassification of the energy efficient buildings. We have tested this hypothesis by Blower Door Test on a passive timber construction build in 2007 during which we have measured the object in position of measuring device placed in the front door and the balcony door that are not encumbered by leaks caused by a security hardware and by other specific elements

The article analyses the field of civil engineering from the point of view of the necessity of implementing various BIM modelling tools in the management of energyefficient buildings. Information on BIM modelling tools that may be needed in the maintenance of energy-efficient buildings has been collected. Five main tools have been identified and described, including BEM and CFD technologies, which have been reviewed in more detail. The requirements for information models that integrate with third-party BIM modelling tools for analysing building thermal performance and indoor climate have also been identified. The article provides examples of foreign experience in the use of BIM modeling tools used in the analysis of existing energy-efficient buildings.

Zukünftige Gebäudeenergiesysteme werden in umfangreichem Maße hybridisiert und mit komplexeren Regelstrategien ausgestattet sein. Hierbei gilt es, Potenziale von möglichen neuen Energiewandlungssystemen zu quantifizieren und zu bewerten. Bisherige, in erster Linie statische Methodiken sind dazu nicht in der Lage. Die am Institute for Energy Efficient Buildings and Indoor Climate der RWTH Aachen vorhandenen Prüfstände nutzen das Hardware-in-the-Loop-Verfahren, um genau diesen Mangel zu beheben.

And Training

Computerized auditory training (CAT) is a convenient, low-cost approach to improving communication of individuals with hearing loss or other communicative disorders. A number of CAT programs are being marketed to patients and audiologists. The present literature review is an examination of evidence for the effectiveness of CAT in improving speech perception in adults with hearing impairments. Six current CAT programs, used in 9 published studies, were reviewed. In all 9 studies, some benefit of CAT for speech perception was demonstrated. Although these results are encouraging, the overall quality of available evidence remains low, and many programs currently on the market have not yet been evaluated. Thus, caution is needed when selecting CAT programs for specific patients. It is hoped that future researchers will (a) examine a greater number of CAT programs using more rigorous experimental designs, (b) determine which program features and training regimens are most effective, and (c) indicate which patients may benefit from CAT the most.

The study aims to analyze about the low graduation and certification exam training participants of the procurement of goods / services of the government and its contributing factors, and formulate a strategy of education and training and skills certification exams procurement of goods / services of the government. Collecting data using the method of study documentation, interviews, and questionnaires. Is the official source of information on the structural and functional Regional Employment Board, as well as the participants of the training and skills certification exams procurement of goods / services of the government in Magelang regency government environment. Analysis using 4 quadrant SWOT analysis, to determine the issue or strategic factors in improving the quality of education and training and skills certification exams procurement of government goods / services within the Government of Magelang regency. The results show organizer position is in quadrant I, which is supporting the growth strategy, with 3 alternative formulation strategies that improve the quality of education and training and skills certification exams procurement of government goods / services, and conducts certification examination of the procurement of government goods / services with computer assisted test system (CAT). Based on the research recommendations formulated advice to the organizing committee, namely: of prospective participants of the training and skills certification exams procurement of goods / services the government should consider the motivation of civil servants, is examinees who have attended training in the same period of the year, the need for simulation procurement of goods / services significantly, an additional allocation of training time, giving sanction to civil servants who have not passed the exam, the provision of adequate classroom space with the number of participants of each class are proportional, as well as explore the evaluation of education and training and skills certification exams procurement of goods / services for Government of participants.

Quality outcomes from vocational education and training (VET) are fundamental to ensuring a skilled workforce and supporting a productive economy. The quality of vocational training from the demand’s perspective is defined as meeting the customer specification, needs or requirements. Using the method of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Multiple Regression Analysis to get the analytical results of 275 respondents as graduates of University of Transport and Communication, University of Transport Technology (the two universities training on transportation in the North of Vietnam), the results show that factors are measured by the observed variables in the study that ensure reliability and relevance. The descriptive statistics result of vocational training quality is 3.28, while all independent variables are at average level (between 3.1 to 3.48) with the highest value related to the quality of the teacher and the lowest are facilities and training programs and management capacity of university. However, the regression results show that the qualification of the teacher, material facilities and training program, management capacity and job opportunities at the training school do not affect the quality of the training while “Learners-NH” have a great positive effect and the labor market information has a negative effect on the training quality of the school significantly. Base on those data, some policy recommendations have been given out in order to improve the training quality of transport technology universities in the north of Vietnam in particular and the vocational training quality of Vietnam in general.

Important Position

Energy-efficient buildings utilise the potential of renewable sources, among which heat pumps hold an important position. As this technology has a secondary effect on the environment through its noise immission, locations of outdoor units in the exterior should be subjected to the assessment. The present article deals with the options of placing heat pumps in the exterior and the placement assessment methods. The noise burden identification through the assessment of the time exposure is presented in the example of an in situ measurement.
