Life cycle cost and assessment model for systems and sources of lighting by Heteba, Noran

“…The methodology of this research is based on Life Cycle Costing (LCC) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This methodology is crystallized through the formulation of an optimization model (LCCA-SSL) which integrates both LCC and LCA methods to help construction stakeholders in the decision making for the most sustainable lighting systems and lighting sources. …”

Design optimization of gas-to-liquid biosludge management systems by Mostafa, Rana

“…In cases where the GTL plant is located in an area that has high land cost, warm arid climate and a lack of sludge re-use markets, a biosludge management system that is optimized for such conditions is needed. …”

Design problem optimization with multi-objective evolutionary algorithms by Toma, Farzana Haque

“…However, traditional sunshade designs typically focus on a limited set of objectives, often ignoring broader considerations such as cost efficiency and outside-view obstruction. This thesis addresses that gap by implementing and comparing two advanced multi-objective evolutionary algorithms—Multi-Objective Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (MOCMA-ES) and the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II)—to optimize sunshades across five key objectives: thermal comfort, energy consumption, Useful Daylight Illuminance (UDI), cost, and outside-view obstruction. …”

Multi-skilled Labor Optimization with Partial Allocation of Resources by Saleh, Amira

“…This complicates the resource management process and is not often performed successfully, leading to schedule and cost overruns. Alternatively, project managers may keep the idle workforce at their projects because they will be needed at a later stage and pay them in their idle days, which adds unnecessary costs to the project. …”
