Full textAbstract:
Surabaya which has been growing by trading, office and industry activities, requires a representative residential. In addition, the increase of population growth requires it as well. However, due to limited amount of land in Surabaya, government opens wide opportunities in developing apartments. Ease of permitting in apartments development and coupled with increasing of apartments demand manifold both in terms of developers (investor) nor the buyer has encouraged the location of apartments grow at random. The spread of the location is important in order to avoid build up that can give the layer of building and environmental dimensions. This study is conducted to explore issues and approaches of factors which giving effect on apartment location decisions by using literature review method. As a result, factors for apartment location-decisions are consist of (1) physical factors, (2) accessibility factor, and (3) land and legal factor.

Abstract The article deals with the issues of spatial changes taking place in the office work environment during a pandemic. It also raises issues related to the space intended for work at home or in an apartment. At present, the traditional model of office work is undergoing significant transformations. These transformations include, in particular, the spatial aspect. Large office spaces, especially those of the open-plan type, do not work well during a pandemic, as it is difficult to keep an appropriate social distance in them. Therefore, we spend less and less working time, whether for safety reasons or the sanitary and epidemiological regime, for work in the office. This phenomenon is particularly visible in city centers, where many large office buildings have become deserted. We spend more and more time working remotely (home-office). Therefore, it is necessary to adapt the space of our houses and apartments to the conditions in which we live and work today. The very concept of remote work or work from home is not new, many companies have already introduced it before, but most often for a limited time, which in principle could take place without major changes in private apartments. However, the pandemic has forced office workers to work remotely full-time, and thus to organize a workplace in their own home. This is often associated with the need to introduce additional furniture, equipment or lighting to a private interior. The problem of many people working remotely is the lack of an additional room that can be used as a study or office. Then we are looking for a place for our home office in rooms that have so far performed other functions (most often a bedroom or a living room), trying to introduce a place to work with them as possible. The issue of acoustics is also of great importance here, especially when there are more people working or learning remotely in the house or apartment. Moreover, many, especially young office (corporate) employees, own one-room apartments in the studio type, in which it is not possible to separate such a room. Then we have to add an additional office space to the space that already serves several functions (living room and bedroom). The author is a researcher and designer of this type of space, and the cases presented in the article show the changes taking place in spaces previously perceived as typically private.

Full textAbstract:
Vista Angkasa Apartment is one of the oldest apartments in the Bangsar South area, with a total of 8 blocks and consisting of more than 1000 units of houses. Currently, all the transaction related to the maintenance of each apartment is recorded manually. It is very difficult to manage all the data manually and if some information is required urgently then to obtain it also is very difficult. It will not only take a lot of time, but it also increases the chances of errors. Therefore, to solve the issues faced, an apartment management system that allows management staff to view the apartment’s data and tenant’s data as well as maintenance requests, notices and complaints has been developed. It also increases the efficiency and the effectiveness of Vista Angkasa Apartment Management by eliminating the current manual system. Compilation of data can be done easily with just a click of mouse. The methodology that has been applied to develop the system will be Agile with the PHP programming language. The developed system has successfully tested with the real time data at the Vista Angkasa Apartment. Based on the obtained results, the Vista Angkasa Apartment Management System solved the current issues with the management office and tenants.

Full textAbstract:
An experiment was designed to observe evacuation times and occupant movement in two office buildings during a simulated fire emergency and to compare these results with previous studies of evacuation drills in apartment buildings. The evacuation drills were recorded using videocameras located throughout the buildings. The results were analyzed with respect to occupant behaviour, occupants' time to start to evacuate, occupants' time to reach an outside exit, and the occupants' speed while travelling in the stairways. A comparison of the results from this office buildings study with previous studies involving evacuations of midrise and highrise apartment buildings reveals many interesting differences. The physical organization of the buildings, evacuation strategies, and the occupants' characteristics, behaviour and movement are discussed. The study showed that apartment building occupants delay their evacuation more than office building occupants, either by a long preparation time or because they cannot hear the alarm from their apartments. Travelling speeds are slowest in midrise apartment buildings where the population is more diverse and includes children, elderly people and occupants with limitations. The more structured evacuation plans, the presence of fire wardens and the easier access to fire safety information also contribute to the efficiency of evacuation procedures in office buildings.

Full textAbstract:
Apartments with green building concept are vertical dwellings that are built using the basic rules of green building namely energy efficiency and renewable energy, efficient use of air, use of environmentally friendly materials, use of waste and materials, improvement of good indoor air circulation, and sustainable development and smart growth. This concept is used as a fulfillment of housing needs for students around Universitas Negeri Medan, which is environmentally friendly. The concept of green building is expected to reduce household pollution generated from student apartments, which can reduce the quality of the surrounding environment and also reduce the costs of maintenance and operation of the apartment, which can have an impact on the quality of resident’s life. In the process of designing this apartment, the writer uses a quantitative-correlative approach to find what is needed by the apartment user. The process of designing an apartment with this concept will produce an environmentally friendly building that can save water use up to 53.28%. This student apartment is equipped with a solar power plant that can save PLN electricity use by up to 33%. Each apartment unit and room in the management office is also designed with natural light and natural air circulation in mind to reduce the use of electricity and air conditioning. This apartment also utilizes human waste by processing it into biogas using dome reactors.

"A Study confirming whether supply of goods or not, providing a newly built apartment from the Residential Condominium Reconstruction Projects to the member of association." KOREAN SOCIETY OF TAX LAW 7, no. 3 (September 30, 2022): 35–83. http://dx.doi.org/10.37733/tkjt.2022.7.3.35.
Full textAbstract:
After completion of the reconstruction of a residential condominium (hereafter referred to as “Apartment or Real Estate”)(Usually, condominiums are called apartments in Korea) the association members’ apartments will be constructed together with the apartments to be sold to the general public upon approval of construction permit from the local government.
After completion of construction, each member of an association will proceed to register under his or her own name at the government registry office and general public sales units will be registered under the name of the association of reconstruction.
For construction permit aspect, the association of reconstruction(hereafter referred to as “association”) builds the apartments and provides to the member of reconstruction association(hereafter referred to as “member”), but another of view i.e. association members, this can be construed as a transfer of existing apartment (old house) to the association and receive a new house(an exchange of an old house for a newly built house) For preservation registration aspect, the association provides its name to use when they build apartments for the members of the association. But from the viewpoint of association members, they built their own apartments by themselves.
At the real estate reconstruction(Reconstruction members’ portion+general public sales portion), ① acquisition tax, value added tax and capital gain tax will be imposed as if members built their own apartment.
From the viewpoint of preservative registration of real estate, the obligator of acquisition tax is the association member, accordingly, value-added-tax is not imposed on the association member. Also this real estate is not considered a transfer of ownership. Accordingly there is no capital gain tax because the newly built apartment considered the same as existing apartment.
② An association tax will be imposed as if the member of reconstruction invests investment-in-kind by the existing real estate and buys a newly constructed apartment from the association(exchanging the existing old apartment and receiving newly built apartment). Accordingly the association will appraise the real estate property based on investment-in-kind and determine the value of land when the association sells a newly built apartment.(An association shall be taxed as a corporation entity) This existing real estate appraisal value is very important because the association tax (corporate tax) and dividend tax to the member of association will be determined by this appraisal value as tax basis for the gain on sale on the general public sale portion of real estate.
This kind of two different aspect generate a few issues of taxation on acquisition tax, value added tax, and capital gain tax etc.
This thesis presents a view of dual status position right on the association.
The association is the original acquirer of the apartments sold to the general public but the original acquirer is the association member for the member portion of real estate, and the role of association is permitting to use the association’s name to build the new apartment.
Given the dual status position right, the association can claim both positions: first as the supplier to the general public sale of newly constructed apart- ments, and second as the joint purchaser of real estate for the association members.
This thesis reviews issues and dual status position right in connection with reconstruction projects under the current tax law and suggests an amendment for the Restriction of Special Taxation Act, Corporate Tax Act, and Value-added-Tax Act.
If tax laws apply the following dual status position thesis, the grounded jurisprudence theory of acquisition tax, value-added tax and capital gain tax (original acquisition value of apartment for the member portion) will apply to the association tax. That means the theory of tax law will be consistent with the theory of that the member built

Full textAbstract:
The paper deals with the problem of the location of governors residences (service apartments) in the urban space of Samara in the second half of the 19th early 20th centuries. It shows the characteristics of the placement of the provincial government and the governors office. The paper analyzes the location of the authorities, their interior and furnishings, describes the repair and construction of these buildings. The authors of the paper consider in detail the traditional for the Samara provincial authorities hire of the governors residences from private owners. They also show the reasons and circumstances for the change of the governors apartment and the location of the provincial government and the governor's office. This study has led to the conclusion that the intensive process of socio-economic development of the Samara province in the late 19th early 20th centuries was reflected in the formation of a new administrative and cultural center of the provincial capital. A logical continuation of this process was the construction by the government of the spacious Governors House, one of the most luxurious and technically equipped buildings in Samara at the beginning of the 20th century, where the governors apartment and office premises of the provincial authorities were comfortably located. In addition, the paper examines the personal attitude of the Samara governors to the issues of the location of the provincial government and the governors office.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, apartments as well as office buildings are built air-tight with heavy insulation to reduce the energy loss from air-conditioned indoor. In such buildings, mechanical ventilation becomes necessity to maintain proper indoor air quality. Ventilation, however, inevitably accompanies energy loss from the conditioned indoor air, which may be mitigated if enthalpy recovery ventilators (ERV) are used. In this study, annual energy savings by installing a 250 CMH ERV in an apartment or an office building of Seoul and Pusan area were assessed with special focus on the effect of channel pitch of the enthalpy exchanger. Separate tests were conducted to obtain performance data of the ERV. The largest energy saving was obtained for the enthalpy exchanger having the smallest channel pitch of 1.8[Formula: see text]mm. Annual energy saving calculated to gas energy amounted to 49 899 MJ for Seoul area. Both efficiencies and power consumption increased as the channel pitch of enthalpy exchanger decreased. In addition, both the temperature efficiency and the humidity efficiency were larger at heating condition compared at cooling condition.

Full textAbstract:
For apartment complexes receiving medium-voltage electrical energies, the apartments can choose an electricity charging method between the single and general contracts in the Republic of Korea. In the single contract, a residential high-voltage rate is applied to the total electrical energy consumptions of households and common areas. On the other hand, in the general contract, different rate plans are applied to the electrical energy consumptions of households and their common areas, where a generic high-voltage rate plan is applied to the common consumption. Hence, depending on the amounts and composition of the consumptions, both contracts have their own strengths and weaknesses in terms of the total electricity charge. The management office of an apartment complex can select its preferred contract considering the amount and composition of the power consumptions on an annual basis. In this paper, we first formulate a model for the contracts and analyze their properties based on Monte-Carlo simulations. We then observe the contract properties through actual metering data from 30 apartment complexes in Korea. From the analysis of this paper, we can select appropriate contract for a given apartment complex and have guidelines for saving electricity charges. The greater the consumption of the electrical energy and the common area portion, the more advantageous the general contract is in terms of reducing electricity charges.

During the late 1980's and early 1990's, Real Estate Investment Trust ("REITs") accumulated large portfolios of properties. During this period, REITs were able to grow through acquisitions alone, arbitraging their low cost of capital relative to private asset valuations. This changed the real estate industry and for the first time, real estate entities have concentrated ownership in an industry traditionally characterized by fractionalized ownership. Today, there is tremendous pressure from the public markets for REITs to continue to grow. This has lead the management of REITs to seek alternative growth strategies. These strategies include cost economies of scale, branding, growth of non-real estate related revenue, vertical integration, and exertion of market power. This thesis studies market power in real estate, focusing specifically on whether REITs are currently exerting market power. The first half of the thesis determines the magnitude of REIT's current concentration of ownership, by cross referencing aggregate market data with individual REIT owned property data to arrive at market shares for individual REITs. The second half utilizes these market shares to determine whether public markets are capitalizing high market shares into stock prices and, therefore recognizing market power strategies.

The subject of this diploma thesis is the design of a newly built mixed-use building in Tišnov, as well as elaboration a part of the project documentation for realization of the building construction. The designed building is a multifunctional building, which has the task of providing several functions. The building is situated in the South Moravian Region in the northern part of the village Tišnov, which is located about 30 kilometers away from the city of Brno. Recently, in this area new family houses and apartment buildings have been built. The building is designed as five above-ground storey, partially basement incl. a separate underground car park. The first floor serves mainly for commercial use, ie. for the provision of services and for the sale of goods. There is a coffee shop, a houseware store, hairdressers, bakers, butchers, or a gym. On the first floor there is also the main entrance to the building, and through there is further access to the upper or lower floors of the building. In the basement there is a technical background of the building and access to the underground parking. The second floor serves as office space for multipurpose use. There are apartments on the third, fourth and fifth floor, with some apartments on the 4th floor being designed as two-level maisonettes. The architectural design is based on the concept of straight lines and sharp edges, which also presents a flat roof roofing solution and receding storey with terraces. The building is detached, situated in a relatively flat terrain. All entrances to the building are designed as barrier-free. The white-blue color of the building facade alternates with the use of gray stone cladding. The roofing of the mixed-use building is solved on two levels by a single-layer extensive vegetation flat roof.

Lind, Patrik. "Empty employment offices or empty apartments? : A study of the driving forces behind Swedish municipalities’ willingness to sign contracts with the Swedish central government regarding refugee reception." Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Nationalekonomiska institutionen, 2011. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-156557.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of Sweden’s refugee settlement policy is that refugees should be offered an initial place of dwelling in a municipality with available accommodation and a good labour market within commuting distance. Refugees risk long-run unemployment, if initially placed in a municipality with bad labour market opportunities (see Edin et al., 2004 and Åslund et al., 2006). It is therefore important to know to what extent the state of a municipality’s labour market (and not only availability of apartments) drives the willingness to receive refugees. No such study has previously been con- ducted. This paper thus aims to bridge this gap in the research by analyzing data between 2006-2010 for all 290 Swedish municipalities and their contracts with the Swedish central government regarding refugee reception. The main findings are, when accounting for municipality-fixed effects, that neither unemployment nor available apartments affect the probability of signing a contract. Additional govern- ment grants, on the other hand, has a positive effect on the likelihood of signing a contract. Among municipalities which do sign contracts, the agreed number of refu- gees is negatively affected by higher municipality unemployment and positively affected by additional available apartments.

AbstractThis introduction summarizes chapters of Part II. In Chap. 10.1007/978-981-15-8848-8_9, Yamamoto (Jpn J Real Estate Sci 31:88–96, 2018) has compared between the street method, the asset valuation adopted for the imposition of property tax in Japan, and the computer-assisted mass appraisal (CAMA) method generally adopted in North America focusing on education and training of valuators. In Chap. 10.1007/978-981-15-8848-8_10, Yamazaki (Jpn J Real Estate Sci 31:97–101, 2018) argues that one of the major causes for relatively low density use of land in the city in Japan is the land tax system. He focuses on property tax and examines defects of the tax from view of economist. In Chap. 10.1007/978-981-15-8848-8_11, Kobayashi (Jpn J Real Estate Sci 31:129–138, 2018), taking an actual example, has examined difference between precise legal interpretation of ‘exemption from real estate acquisition tax due to purpose of use’ and taxation practices conducted by local administrative bodies. In Chap. 10.1007/978-981-15-8848-8_12, Shirakawa and Okoshi (Jpn J Real Estate Sci 31:88–96, 2017) have shown that the real estate companies were committed to transactions as dual agencies to whatsoever degree, and analyzed attributes of real estate brokerage companies which are able to be dual agencies and how such dual agency affects contract price.In Chap. 10.1007/978-981-15-8848-8_13, Ueno (Jpn J Real Estate Sci 31:97–105, 2017) has analyzed impacts of the macroeconomic conditions on the land price gradient curves which are estimated using real estate data of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area in 1970, 1976, 1985, 1988, 1994, 2008, 2010, and 2016. In Chap. 10.1007/978-981-15-8848-8_14, Komatsu (Jpn J Real Estate Sci 31:110–118, 2017) has analyzed impacts that refurbishment of existing apartment has on possible increase in rent using the multinomial probit model and the Tobit model. In Chap. 10.1007/978-981-15-8848-8_15, Hanazato (Jpn J Real Estate Sci 31:119–128, 2017) has shown that around 90% of condominium reconstruction cases are predictable using the estimated discriminant function in terms of objective real estate data only. In Chap. 10.1007/978-981-15-8848-8_16, Ota et al. (Jpn J Real Estate Sci 31:109–119, 2018) have analyzed determinants of rent for rental house, office, and shop within 10-min walking distance from Shibuya Station in Tokyo. Multiple regression analyses are conducted and have shown that space syntax (SS) measures (Hillier and Hanson, The Social Logic of Space. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1984) significantly affect rent as well as conventional location attributes.

Since 1992 a law in Israel obliges building contractors to construct bomb-shelters as an integrated room within every residential unit throughout the country, replacing neighbourhood underground bunkers and communal shelters located in the basement floor of apartment blocks. A secured residential space (popularly called mamad), this space is commonly used as an ordinary room (a children room, extra bedroom, home office, etc.), one of the 3-5 rooms of the majority of apartments in Israel. Only during times of emergency, it is used by household members as a shelter. Based on fieldwork in Israel from January 2014 to January 2015, a period covering the July-August 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict, we explore in this paper the blurring of distinction between emergency and routine as concepts and experiences involved in domesticating spaces of security in Israel.

Full textAbstract:
Rear Window was the first of six pictures Alfred Hitchcock would direct for Paramount under the contract negotiated by Lew Wasserman. On its first script review, the Production Code office found fault with nearly every aspect of the film, from the salty dialogue of the young screenwriter John Michael Hayes to most of the courtyard residents, including the scantily clad Miss Torso and the newly married couple whose activities represented an ‘unacceptable play on the sexual aspects of a honeymoon.’ But Breen’s reviewers reserved their strongest criticism for the suggestion of a sexual relationship between the lead characters, played by James Stewart and Grace Kelly. Hitchcock stilled many of the censors’ worries by inviting them to visit the elaborate indoor set of the courtyard, pointing out that everything happening in the apartments across the courtyard would be filmed from the viewpoint of a man in a wheelchair looking out of his apartment window, not with salacious close-ups. The censors still found fault with three major elements: the dancing of Miss Torso, the honeymooning couple’s sexual appetites, and Grace Kelly’s negligee, which was ‘too suggestive and too boldly unconventional.’ Hitchcock assuaged these fears by swapping off topless views of Miss Torso with protective footage already filmed for trade-off purposes, drawing the shades on the honeymooners, and limiting scenes with Grace Kelly’s negligee to those essential to the plot. Code officials accepted these trade-offs, and the film was a critical and commercial success.

Housing situation of Poles and activities of public authorities to improve it Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the housing situation of Poles and to present activities of public entities, especially communes, undertaken to improve it. Design/methodology/approach: Secondary data was presented showing the number and ownership structure of dwellings and the demand for dwellings in Poland. The data comes from the Central Statistical Office and the Ministry of Development. The previous activity of municipalities in developing the local housing market is also discussed and the concept of social housing initiatives is characterized. Findings: Despite the record number of housing units completed in recent years, there is still a shortage of housing units, which negatively affects the socio-economic development of the state. The main barrier to access to housing is its price and the high growth rate of 1 m2 of space. Municipalities could more actively answer the housing needs of citizens by creating social housing initiatives, i.e. not for profit companies building rental housing with moderate rent. Originality and value: State housing policy has been questioned. The provision of own contribution by the state for certain social groups may lead to an increase in real estate prices, because with their limited supply the demand for these apartments and the price of 1 m2 of space rises. It is postulated to increase the activity of municipalities in the housing market. This may consist in creating social housing initiatives, i.e. not for profit companies building apartments for rent with moderate rent (lower even by 50% in relation to the market rent).

In the early 1960s, Jane Jacobs lived on Hudson Street, in Greenwich Village, near the intersection of Eighth Avenue and Bleecker Street. It was then, as now, a charming district of nineteenth-century tenements and townhouses, bars and shops, laid out over an irregular grid, and Jacobs loved the neighborhood. In her 1961 masterpiece, “The Death and Life of Great American Cities,” she rhapsodized about the White Horse Tavern down the block, home to Irish longshoremen and writers and intellectuals— a place where, on a winter’s night, as “the doors open, a solid wave of conversation and animation surges out and hits you.” Her Hudson Street had Mr. Slube, at the cigar store, and Mr. Lacey, the locksmith, and Bernie, the candy-store owner, who, in the course of a typical day, supervised the children crossing the street, lent an umbrella or a dollar to a customer, held on to some keys or packages for people in the neighborhood, and “lectured two youngsters who asked for cigarettes.” The street had “bundles and packages, zigzagging from the drug store to the fruit stand and back over to the butcher’s,” and “teenagers, all dressed up, are pausing to ask if their slips show or their collars look right.” It was, she said, an urban ballet. The miracle of Hudson Street, according to Jacobs, was created by the particular configuration of the streets and buildings of the neighborhood. Jacobs argued that when a neighborhood is oriented toward the street, when sidewalks are used for socializing and play and commerce, the users of that street are transformed by the resulting stimulation: they form relationships and casual contacts they would never have otherwise. The West Village, she pointed out, was blessed with a mixture of houses and apartments and shops and offices and industry, which meant that there were always people “outdoors on different schedules and . . . in the place for different purposes.” It had short blocks, and short blocks create the greatest variety in foot traffic. It had lots of old buildings, and old buildings have the low rents that permit individualized and creative uses.

I have spent most of my living and working life in the countryside, surrounded by open fields, woodlands and hills, and in close contact with the soil. I recently changed my job and moved to the University of Manchester, which is in the centre of one of the largest cities in England. Because of this move my contact with soil is much less; in fact, as I walk each morning to my office, there is hardly a handful of soil to be seen. But is this really true of the whole city? Concrete, asphalt, and bricks certainly seal much of the ground in Manchester, as in most cities and towns. But soil is in abundance: it lies beneath the many small gardens, flower beds, road and railway verges, parks, sports grounds, school playing fields, and allotments of the city. In fact, it has been estimated that almost a quarter of the land in English cities is covered by gardens, and in the United States, lawns cover three times as much area as does corn. As I write, I am on a train leaving central London from Waterloo Station, and despite the overwhelming dominance of concrete and bricks, I can see scattered around many small gardens, trees, flowerpots and window boxes, overgrown verges on the railway line, small parks and playing fields for children, football pitches, grassy plots and flower beds alongside roadways and pavements, and small green spaces with growing shrubs outside office blocks and apartments. The city is surprisingly green and beneath this green is soil. Throughout the world, more and more people are moving to cities: in 1800 only 2 per cent of the world’s population was urbanized, whereas now more than half of the global human population live in towns and cities, and this number grows by about 180,000 people every day. This expansion has been especially rapid in recent years.

Full textAbstract:
IntroductionOver the last decade, the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become increasingly wide-spread to manage the growing complexity of construction projects. As a result, project managers are facing new challenges in managing stakeholders in BIM projects, as the BIM concept is still relatively new to many of the stakeholders (Leśniak, Górka & Skrzypczak, 2021). The introduction of BIM has brought new and complex activities into the already complex process of project management, resulting in a radical change in the working practices of project managers and in the working practices of the project stakeholders (Li et al., 2021). Besides the purely technical advantages of better(?) planning and manipulating data, plans, etc. used to get the best possible visualization of the future, human factors are at least as, if not more, important when looking into the future. Immersive virtual reality (VR) can transform virtual plans into a walkable world, so that different stakeholders (architect, builder, tenant, etc.) can walk through the same flat without the need for specialist expertise in understanding building plans (Schiavi et al. 2022). This same mental picture of the e. g. apartment can now have an impact on decision-making processes and shorten the time to final judgement. At the same time, different aspects of interior design can be explored (size effect, furnishing, etc.). In our mixed methods study, we wanted to know which interaction mechanisms play an important role in the immersive virtual world and whether the sense of presence (illusion of place) is changed by the virtual design of rooms. MethodsIn three workshops, planned BIM data of two different types of apartments were put into a virtual environment (UNITY3D). We optimized the virtual apartments for an immersive virtual reality walkthrough and developed interactive tools for exploring the virtual apartments. In the first workshop (W1) we aimed to assess and demonstrate the sense of space of the planned apartment. In the second workshop (W2) we focussed on the texturing and in the third workshop we demonstrate the kitchen & wet room variants. Form W1 to W3 the visual details and naturalistic implementation of the virtual apartment were gradually enhanced. The participants were tenants, building owners, architects, and employees from the local building office. Their experience in virtual reality varied from none to a lot of experience. There were different tasks and goals for each workshop. Beside discussions, there was at least one VR-experience session per workshop, where participants would experience the virtual room in groups of two, with tasks specific to the session. This was done with three HTC VIVE pro headsets (one per group) with one per-son experiencing in the virtual world and the other spectating the first-person view from on a 75” screen. After some time, they swapped medium and the person who was in the virtual world now watched from outside. We recorded the following data during the workshop: technical affinity with TA-EG (Karrer, Glaser, Clemens & Bruder, 2009), usability with UEQ-S (Schrepp, Hinderks, Thomaschewski, 2017) and sense of presence with PLBMR (Frank & Kluge, 2014). Additionally, the participants were interviewed several weeks after the workshops with half structured interviews: Over all workshops a dataset of N=13 participants could be archived and evaluated. Descriptive and non-parametric statistics were calculated with SPSS 21. The coding of the interviews was done with MAXQDA.ResultsWe found a heterogeneous group in the scales for technical affinity. Regarding the importance of the tools we found that not all tools were remembered in the interviews. The overall usability rating was good and the most important finding was a significant less sense of presence (PLBMR) in workshop 2 (p > .05, cohens d`=.21).DiscussionThe introduction of BIM resulted in a radical change in the working practices of project managers and in the working practices of the project stakeholders (Li et al., 2021). This change should be carried out in a way that most stakeholders should feel comfortable with. As we saw in the data, the usability ratings were good, but some interviews showed that a reduction in complexity may be a further improvement, since not every feature was remembered or needed in the virtual room (Schiavi et al. 2022). The decrease in sense of presence in the second workshop show a possible connection with the uncanny valley phenomenon. Also, the limitation of the study is discussed and an outlook of possible further research is suggested.

Full textAbstract:
When after WWI Poland regained its independence, in the need to repair war damage the young state saw an opportunity to modernize and visually unify the country after a century of tripartite partitions. The difficult housing conditions severely affected the officers and non-commissioned officers (NCO’s), as the garrisons were established anew and the personnel did not have lodgings from the pre-war times and did not have the funds to purchase them. In 1925, an act was passed establishing the Military Housing Fund with a budget of 140 million polish zotych. In the years 1927-1934, the Fund built 542 houses. One of the mottos of the organization was: to provide sunlight, water supply, sewage systems and bathrooms in all apartments. This guiding principle about hygienic living and the strict economic requirements naturally put military construction on the path of modernism. Modernism was also deprived of any historic connotations and internationally popular, making it the ultimate tool of Europeanization - reducing the difference between Poland and Western Europe.Due to the rank of the institution and the propagandist significance of its investments, the Ministry of Military Affairs often had prestigious locations at its disposal. Many of the designs for these plots were selected through open competitions, leading to the selection of top-class solutions, thanks to the participation of the most important polish modernist architects of the interwar period: R. Gutt, J. Szanajca and B. Lachert. The campaign of housing construction was concentrated mainly in Warsaw, where the percentage of officers and NCO’s in the garrison was high - due to the tasks performed in the Ministry. Guided by the principle of economics of house construction and space ergonomics in the arrangement of apartments, in Warsaw the Fund built mainly multi-family buildings bearing fruit in the form of solutions that have ever since been cited as the canon of Polish modernism. Adhering to these standards typical layouts were worked out for swift and healthy construction and repeated throughout the country. This way, the best cosmopolitan patterns in the second half of the 1930s, when the construction was booming, were also transferred to smaller garrisons, contributing to the modernization of the deep provinces.Apart from the lack of housing, the military and their families suffered from pulmonary diseases and rickets resulting from poor living conditions. In order to remedy these problems, the Fund also dealt with the construction of sanatoriums, hospitals, physical education centers, as well as holiday homes for military personnel.The emerging democratic structures of the reviving state also wanted to be perceived as forward thinking, ordering designs from the Fund. Modernism was well suited for the design of the remaining garrison and state buildings, as they also needed to be functional, affordable to build, easy in maintenance and ergonomic. The influential period journal “Architecture and Construction” mentions such investments as airports, ministry offices, barracks, commanders' villas, etc. all adding up to an image of army as a forward thinking engine of progress.

Full textAbstract:
A micro cogeneration system composed of a microturbine (MGT), a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and an absorption refrigerator is analyzed thermodynamically. The performance analysis is conducted on the basis of the macroscopic mass and energy balances with additional empirical correlations and operating data. First, the basic characteristics of the power generation (MGT+SOFC) section and the absorption refrigerator section are clarified. Second, under the conditions of the cell temperature of 900 °C and the turbine inlet temperature of 900 °C, the optimum design points are determined. Furthermore, the energy saving obtained by the present system through the annual operation is also evaluated in the light of the measured data in Japan. As a result, the annual fuel consumptions are reduced by 32%, 36% and 42%, for apartments, offices and hotels, respectively.
