    Influence of Industry 4.0 Applications on Covid-19 Pandemic in Managing Materials, Human Resources and Completion Time of Construction Projects
    (Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l., 2024) Amusan, Lekan; Odusola, Mojisola; Aigbavboa, Clinton; Ajao, Ayodele Christianah
    This research was centered on the influence of Industry4.0 in effective management of Covid-19 pandemic on construction sites and materials and resources of construction projects on construction sites. This study aims to increase sensitization about the COVID-19 pandemic's influence on the construction industry. For this research work, 80 questionnaires were administered to selected construction sites in the areas with highest incidence of Covid-19 in South Western Nigeria (Lagos State). The influence, effect, and strategies adopted using Industry4.0 apparatus The structured questionaire designed in Likert scale was distributed to respondents. The collated questionaire was test for validity and reliability and was found to be in good order. Spearman ranking, ANOVA, Mean item scores and relative agreement tools were used to process the data.It was discovered that Industry 4.0 tools were of good help during the pandemic in allocation, distribution and curation of information and resources. It was also discovered that COVID 19 posed a lot of challenges in administering human resources personnel while companies suffered procurement of effective human resources, low productivity and casualties while the pandemic lasts. The study however recommended intense use of the Industry4.0 tools in construction process administration even in the advent of Zero Covid 19 incidence on sites.

    Influence of Industry 4.0 Applications and Development of Internet of Things (IoT)-Based Logic Framework in Energy Management Systems in Buildings
    (Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l., 2023) Amusan, Lekan; Aigbavboa, C. O.; Ebitimi, Vianana
    – Energy management refers to the reduction of energy usage and costs with little steps like choosing LED light bulbs and energy-efficient appliances or larger efforts such as the improvement of insulation and weatherization. Energy management is simplified as foresighted, organized, and systemic production, distribution, and use of energy under ecological and economic target setting and judicious and effective use of energy to maximize profits and minimize energy demands. This work aims to develop a strategy for energy management in commercial buildings to create best-practice in commercial building energy consumption. Also, study the current energy practice in Nigeria and identify factors affecting energy management. A total population size of 150 comprises commercial buildings of malls and supermarkets where the Internet of Things (IoT) application was obtainable. Sample size of 100 comprised of respondents from the population was administered with 100 questionnaires out of which 80 valid questionnaires were used for the analysis. The questionnaire was administered among 13 branches of malls and mega supermarkets. That is an average of 6 questionnaires in each branch to respondents like managers, facility managers and other staff connected with the application of the installed IoT features. This study highlighted the factors that influence adequate and proper energy management in buildings. To this end, this research achieved the following objectives: To study the current practice of electrical energy management in commercial buildings, identify factors influencing electrical energy management in buildings (commercial buildings), and influence of Industry 4.0 applications in electrical energy management systems in buildings. The government should provide sufficient funding for power stations and maintenance activities. The use of Tariffing Meter System should be adopted in energy management, therefore eradicating the estimation billing system. There should be more aware of advanced networking and monitoring technologies for management.
