Abstract

With the increasing awareness of sustainable development in the construction industry, implementation of a green rating procedure to assess buildings is becoming more important. The paper presents the comparative review of four prominent sustainable green building rating systems namely BREEAM, LEED, GREEN STAR and GRIHA. The main goal of this study to consider all aspect of the rating system in order to find out of best one(s). The study provides a deep insight into sustainable green building rating systems and can be recommendation and reference for users when choosing between rating systems.

Abstract

Construction industry is highly risk prone, with complex and dynamic project environments which create an atmosphere of high uncertainty and risk. The industry is vulnerable to various technical, socio-political and business risks. The track record to cope with these risks has not been very good in construction industry. As a result, the people working in the industry bear various failures, such as failure of abiding by quality and operational requirements, cost overruns and uncertain delays in project completion. Risk management is a process which consists of identification of risks, assessment with qualitatively and quantitatively, responses with a suitable method for handling risks, and then controls the risks by monitoring. This paper covers the concepts of risk management and various risk analysis techniques to be used for the one stop solution for all types of hazards most likely to occur during any construction project lifecycle.

Keywords

Abstract

Earned Value Management is a project management tool that uses information based on cost, schedule and work performance to define the current status of the project. EVM helps the manager to extrapolate current trends to predict their likely final effect. This method is proved effective in cost control. The Primavera is project management software which enables users to track and analyze performance of project. The Report wizard in primavera creates customized reports that extract specific data from its database. The paper outlines the basic principles of the EVM & how it can be used successfully for particular project with help of primavera. Also some benefits and complications of EVM with reference to Indian construction sector.

Keywords

Abstract

The primary objectives of the National Water Policy of India 2002 are to improve the performance and cost effectiveness of programmes in the field of drinking water supply and to ensure the availability of an adequate quantity of drinking water of acceptable quality on a long term basis. This is possible only by providing low cost but practical and effective solutions to identified problems, associated with the supply of drinking water, through the application of available scientific and technological inputs. For effective and economical management of water supply systems, the National Water Policy identified thrust areas which need intensifying research efforts. These areas include economical designs for water resource projects, better water management practices, and improvements in operational technology. This paper reviews the methods for analysis and design of multi reservoir multi junction water transmission networks which are important components of every water supply system. Recent improvements in design methods which incorporate cost aspects are also discussed in paper.

Abstract

This paper reports the methodology to solve risk analysis problems related to Construction industry with the purpose of determining the project's attractiveness. The literature presented in this paper is related with use of fuzzy logic risk analysis of construction projects. This logic is perfect to deal with the uncertainty risk plays in a projects development. This methodology provides a quick and efficient tool for project managers in their use of project evaluation, by allowing the project manager to scrap useless projects without putting the least amount of effort into an analysis. This methodology can also be generalized and therefore have the capability of being used in the project evaluation in many different kinds of industries not only the construction industry.
