ID ABSTRAK 65 INNOVATION OF AUTOMATED AXILLARY CRUTCHES FOR INJURED LEG AND HALF-STROKE PATIENTS N. F. K. Munir1 and H. Chik2 Bachelor of Electronics Engineering Technology (Medical Electronic) Polytechnic Premier Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, 40150 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia ABSTRACT - Daily sit-to-stand (STS) movement is necessary for upright mobility and many functional objectives. The existing crutches are difficult to adjust to and offer limited choices for users. Patients who rely on crutches expend significant energy and pressure when transitioning between sitting and standing positions. The crutches available in the market can only be manually adjusted by using a screw mechanism to change the height. To overcome these limitations, the project is presented to develop customized Automated Axillary Crutches that can be easily adjusted and aligned to the user's specific needs. The automated axillary crutches incorporated a linear motor actuator into the crutch design. The project involved analyzing the effectiveness of the modified crutches system using MATLAB. The MATLAB analysis served as a data analysis parameter to evaluate the performance and benefits of the Automated Axillary Crutches. By the end of the project, the Automated Axillary Crutches can provide the enhancement of functionality and convenience compared to existing crutches. The inclusion of a switch button facilitates easy adjustment of the crutch, and the MATLAB analysis provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of the modified design. This project is significant as it contributed to the biomedical field, especially to injured leg and half-stroke patients. 74 DEVELOPMENT OF IOT POSTURE SENSING WITH BLYNK FOR SITTING SESSION Muhammad Amir Firdaus Bin Azman And Nurul Huda Binti Mohamd Saleh Department of Electrical Engineering, Politeknik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, Malaysia ABSTRACT: Back pain diseases such as muscle strain, herniated discs and spinal stenosis are prevalent conditions that can be caused or exacerbated by poor sitting posture and habits. Prolonged sitting with incorrect posture can place excessive stress on the spine, leading to muscle imbalances, joint stiffness, and discomfort. Prolonged sitting at work, particularly 7 hours or more, increases the risk of developing chronic diseases, as reported by the Occupational Sitting and Physical Activity Questionnaire (OSPAQ). The objective of this study is to develop posture sensing with Internet of Things (IoT) and analyze incorrect sitting postures due to user habits. In this project gyroscope sensor used as posture sensing that able to detect and analyze the position and alignment of the body while sitting. The data collected by posture sensing devices can be used to provide real-time feedback, reminders, or alerts to individuals, reminding them to adjust their posture or maintain a proper sitting position. Buzzer sound will remind the user to adjust their posture or stand up for a moment and move around which can be beneficial for mitigating the negative effects of prolonged sitting and improving overall well-being. Through the experiments conducted, the buzzer sounds when the back posture of the user's body is less than 85 degrees from the Z axis or 20 minutes after the device is activated. The Blynk application displays the angle of posture, records data on changes in the user's posture and the user's position whether standing or sitting. In conclusion, this project successfully developed a device that can monitor body posture while sitting and the appropriate sitting period. Indirectly this project helps raise awareness about posture, encourage better ergonomics, and reduce the risk of discomfort or musculoskeletal issues associated with prolonged sitting. 39

ID ABSTRAK 75 THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATED ROOM FOR STROKE USING MACHINE LEARNING. M. Z. M. Syamim Arif and K. N. Maisarah Politeknik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, 40150, Selangor, Malaysia. ABSTRACT: Stroke, also known as a transient ischemic attack or cerebrovascular accident, occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted, leading to the death of brain cells due to a lack of oxygen and nutrients. Physical and speech impairments often accompany strokes, causing difficulties in daily tasks and communication. Although current Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices assist patients in communicating with others, they still rely on their caretakers for simple tasks. To address this issue, an integrated room system is proposed, utilizing machine learning to interpret hand gestures. Six specific hand gestures were trained to control various functions such as the lamp, fan, fan speed, calling the caretaker, and system readiness using Python programming and hand gesture recognition. The project consists of three stages: data collection, hand gesture classification, and hardware development. Hand gesture data is collected, and a neural network model is trained using Keras LSTM (Long-Term, Short-Term Memory). The model is then employed to classify each hand gesture, with the Arduino UNO utilized for system output control. The system achieved an impressive 97% accuracy rate in interpreting stroke patients' hand gestures, validated with a dataset of 500 instances for each gesture. In conclusion, this project provides stroke patients with a reliable and intuitive means of controlling room appliances. 76 DEVELOPMENT OF ALERT DEVICE SYSTEM FOR MILD ADHD CHILD AND CAREGIVER N.S. Ruzlan1 and N.H.M Saleh2* Department of Electrical Engineering Politeknik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, Shah Alam, Selangor.` ABSTRACT: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) causes impulsivity, hyperactivity, and inattention. As they start school and socialize, this condition can make them feel insecure. Impulsivity, disorganization, and restlessness are common symptoms. Children with mild ADHD have difficulty paying attention to details or making careless mistakes in schoolwork or other activities, which can be difficult for caregivers who are frequently tired and stressed while caring for children with mild ADHD, and these children frequently do not follow through on instructions and fail to complete schoolwork. The study aims to develop an alert system for mild ADHD children who have trouble paying attention and using Blynk app to monitor their actions and analyse body movement data from gyroscope sensor, and track activity patterns to predict user behaviour. The device is in the form of a bracelet equipped with an application installed on the guardian's smartphone and a Spo2 and heart rate detector. Through Blynk application, a notification and alarm system can be programmed by the guardian based on the child's daily activity schedule and tasks. The device will vibrate as a reminder to the user to perform the scheduled task. Through the experiments carried out it was found that when the Spo2 reading is less than 95% and the heart rate exceeds 114 beats per minute (bpm) for the user, a notification will be sent directly to the guardian's smartphone and the bracelet will vibrate. In addition, the gyroscope detector can detect the user's movements when calm or during a tantrum. Experiments show that the gyroscope data graph is different when the user is calm, walking and having a tantrum. Through this graph pattern, the bracelet can be triggered to vibrate and send a notification to the guardian for further action. In conclusion, this device successfully controls and restores the user's focus and makes it easier for caregivers to monitor their movements. Indirectly, it can reduce caregiver stress because it can prevent and control mild ADHD children's behavior through their movement patterns. 40

ID ABSTRAK 79 MALAY DIALECT SPEECH-CONTROLLED WHEELCHAIR USING MACHINE LEARNING Fatin Suraya Binti Khaidzir, Siti Anizah Binti Muhamed Department Of Electrical Engineering Politeknik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Shah Alam, 40150 Selangor. ABSTRACT: A wheelchair having an electric motor integrated into it is referred to as motorised, and it typically has a joystick at the armrest. Motorised wheelchairs are widely used by patients with mobility impairments, for example, amputations, Alzheimer, and walking difficulties, for independent living. However, not all patients with mobility impairments can control the motorised wheelchair physically. As a solution, a lot of speech-controlled wheelchairs are on the market, but most of these wheelchairs use English instruction. Unfortunately, this is not suitable for non-English speakers. Furthermore, most of these wheelchairs only accept correctly pronounced instructions to move. This may be a problem when patients’ speech is also affected, as in the case of stroke patients. The main objective of this research is to design a speech-controlled wheelchair that accepts instruction in Malay. The system determines the instructions given by using machine learning classification. The system accepts only three commands to move the wheelchair using a voice controller powered by Artificial Neural Network (ANN) classifiers. The data collection of sound recordings of instructions given in Malay language and machine learning training and testing were done using the Edge Impulse platform. The total sample of sound recordings is 1533, which yields an accuracy of classification as high as 80%. The ANN classifiers were then deployed to the microcontroller Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense, directing the motor to move the wheelchair. 80 THE DEVELOPMENT ONLINE TRAINING WEBSITE FOR AN INFUSION PUMP Adiba Husna1, L.C.KU1 1Politeknik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah 40150 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. ABSTRACT: The "Infusion Pump Website Training Simulation for Educational Purposes" is an online platform dedicated to a comprehensive study of infusion pumps, including their theory, principles, clinical aspects, and safety techniques. Using web-based simulations, realistic scenarios, and digital reality learning environments, the platform provides practical and engaging simulation-based learning experiences that closely mirror real-world events. However, challenges arise for technicians and apprentices in accessing remote training locations, particularly in foreign countries, limiting their ability to visit all necessary sites. Flow rate variability in infusion pumps can result in dosing errors and contribute to technology-related medical errors. To address these challenges, this research project aims to develop a website-based training platform for infusion pumps. The platform will utilize WordPress software to feature multimedia elements, simulations, and interactive assessments. Additionally, the project will analyze online flow rate measurement output for accurate value calculation. A mixed-methods approach, involving surveys and comparisons, will be used to evaluate the usability and effectiveness of the online training program. The platform will offer real-time learning experiences on infusion pumps, covering equipment handling, maintenance protocols, flow rate calculation, and troubleshooting techniques. 44

ID ABSTRAK 21 E- REQUEST FOR INSPECTION FOR APPLICATION ( E - RIN) FOR REINFORCED CONCRETE OF STRUCTURES Muhammad Rafeeq Irfan Bin Radua’al1, SunithaV.Doraisamy2* 1,2Politeknik Ungku Omar, 31400 Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia. ABSTRACT: The construction industry has improved drastically in parallel with the development of technology that facilitates the construction work sequence. It makes work more efficient in terms of quality, productivity and cost. However, the documentation and paperwork side has changed very little even with the advancement of technology. The aim of this project is to reduce the use of paper for internal use in the 8MD3 Putrajaya project. The use of paper for hard copies of reports, contracts and so on has never decreased. Some of this excessive use of paper for interior foundations can be reduced with the help of modern technology. Mobile applications can be used to replace some paper-based forms for internal operations that are not essential for long-term storage. Therefore, an app was developed to eliminate paper-based processes between contractors and developers. This app is called the E-RIN App where it converts paper-based forms to electronic forms thereby reducing the use of paper. This app was tested with construction players of the same construction project where majority have shown their satisfaction and agreement of this app towards solving the issue as mentioned before. For future suggestion, if there is an add on feature where it enables any documents to be converted from softcopy to hardcopy in case of any necessity would be convenient for certain officers at the management part. Apart from this, another additional feature would be if the app is able to show the person who have carried out the inspection so that the person could be referred to if necessary. 22 ORGANISATIONAL RECORD MANAGEMENT INDICATOR (ORI) Kailash Pal Singh Baldev Singh¹ 1 Civil Engineering Department, Polytechnic Ungku Omar, Ipoh, Perak.

ABSTRACT: Thermal insulation is the reduction of heat transfer (the transfer of thermal energy between objects of differing temperature) between objects in thermal contact or in range of radiative influence. While degassing of high voltage (HV) and extra high voltage (EHV) XLPE cables is a widely established practice in the industry where the prime reason is to reduce the content of methane for safety and operation reasons. As degassing is a capacity demanding and time-consuming process access to a methane diffusion, thermal insulation would act as a helpful tool for an optimization of the degassing process. The paper presents research on different thermal insulation material and method with their properties, types and applications. The selection of optimal thermal insulation has great potential towards the energy saving. 47

According to the analysis, the main cause is the necessity to re-layout the cold room facilities at the assembly area. The causes of the redesign were recognized, and action strategies were set in place. The report describes the impact of the SLP technique approach on the company, which reduced the distance travelled and time required to accomplish tasks at a new location while increasing production efficiency at the assembly area by up to 95%. 83 DEVELOPMENT OF A PRESSURE ULCER MONITORING SYSTEM FOR THE COMATOSE PATIENT H. Y. Tan1*, Z. Mohamad2* Politeknik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, 40150 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia ABSTRACT: A pressure ulcer is a common disease for comatose patients, this is because the comatose patients are not able to adjust their sleep posture. Dynamic support surfaces such as rotating beds and mattresses with alternating pressurized air sacs, this dynamic support is good, but the cons are too expensive and impractical on a large scale. Therefore, this project purposely designed a monitoring system for comatose patients who were bedridden to prevent them from disease bedsores. This project parameter can be observed in pressure, caregivers only need to turn the patient’s body when needed. In short, this equipment is designed to focus on comatose patients with specific parts on the sacrum and spatial area which is the most common area where pressure ulcers occur. The sensor used on this pressure ulcer monitoring system is a flex pressure sensor. The result of the monitoring system brings convenience to caregivers or doctors so that they can observe patient status in an easy way. 48

ID ABSTRAK 84 BCG VACCINE SCARS SOFTWARE SCANNER USING IMAGE RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY M.N.S SAMSUL ANUAR1, H. CHIK2 Polytechnic Premier Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, 40150, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. ABSTRACT - Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of global mortality, primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets and contained by the body's immune system. The Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is currently the only vaccine available, providing protection for at least ten years. Following vaccination, scarring may develop after three months, necessitating follow-up medical examinations at local hospitals or clinics. It is crucial to inspect both shoulders for scars. In cases where the scar is not visible, gently applying pressure to the area can help detect any indentation. Rulers are commonly used in clinics to manually measure scar surfaces, which can lead to significant inconsistencies and overestimate the actual surface area by up to 40%. Additionally, despite advancements in modern technology, a dedicated scanner for BCG scars has yet to be developed. This project aims to address these challenges by developing a software scanner that can accurately identify BCG scars, reducing the time required for scar recognition and analysing the accuracy of image recognition. The methodology employed in this project involves utilizing image recognition techniques to extract and identify the scar patterns using the Edge Impulse software. With the BCG vaccine scars software scanner, the scar pattern can be automatically identified, resulting in a faster and more efficient process that enhances clinical judgment and patient outcomes. In conclusion, the BCG vaccine scar software scanner has the potential to alleviate the burden of medical staff in healthcare facilities. 88 DEVELOPMENT OF IOT-BASED MONITORING DEVICE FOR EARLY DETECTION OF ASTHMA ATTACK A.R. ZAINUDDIN1, S. BOHANUDIN2 Department of Electrical Engineering, Politeknik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, 40150 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. ABSTRACT: Asthma is one of the most chronic noncommunicable conditions where it causes a breathing problem for someone. Air pollution can initiate a chronic inflammatory response that affects oxidative stress. Thus, when an asthmatic individual goes out for outdoor activity, they should know environment’s temperature and humidity level. However, many of the existing pedometer devices that used by asthmatic patients cannot detect oxygen level, humidity, and temperature which is crucial for monitoring the risk of asthma attacks. To overcome the problem statement, an IoT-based monitoring device for early detection of asthma attack is developed. It can help the user monitor the surrounding environment that suitable for the patient doing outdoor or indoor activities. The device consists of temperature and humidity sensors DHT22 and MAX30102 to detect the safety level of the environment with the Node MCU as a processer. The LCD and buzzer are used as an output to alert the early detection of asthma levels. Based on the result, the level of oxygen, temperature and humidity of the environment can be detected and displayed on the LCD during the activities. The buzzer will be activated when the safety level of the environment is over the limit. Besides, the data can also be monitored continuously from mobile phones via Internet of Things (IoT) technology and alert the early detection of asthma attacks. 49

Dr. Hjh. Wan Rosemehah Wan Omar Department of Electrical Engineering, Politeknik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, Selangor, Malaysia. ABSTRACT— Handgrip strength (HGS) is the quantity of effort required to embrace an object in order to grasp it for a variety of functional activities in daily life. Low handgrip strength is related to functional limitations and is a strong predictor of future disability, physical health issues, and cognitive decline. Flexion is the strongest movement that the fingers perform and is used during grasping and pinching. Rehabilitation exercise of flexion movement continuously is a treatment that helps the muscles of the hand (flexor digitorum profundus) function. Then, by having a weak handgrip, daily activities become limitations and activities (grasp things) by hand properly. However, this situation can be overcome by developing an electronic handgrip rehabilitation exercise. It comes with an OLED display to monitor the value of force and has LEDs that indicate brightness according to the value of force during physiotherapy treatment for the handgrip. The design uses a 5V rechargeable battery, an Arduino Nano as a microcontroller, and force sensors to indicate the value of force on the OLED display. This development of an electronic handgrip exercise device can measure the value of force up to 1023 (digital value), which is equal to 5V of microcontroller voltage input. This project successfully implemented Electronic Handgrip Rehabilitation Exercise Force Measuring using Pressure Sensors for Stroke Patients for physiotherapy treatment to assist stroke patients doing exercise while at the same time providing the ability to monitor the value of force that is produced by the flexion movement of the affected hand. 50

ID ABSTRAK 49 E-PCI (POST-CONCRETING INSPECTION MOBILE APPLICATION) Nurul Amni Nazila Suhaimi Department of Civil Engineering, Politeknik Ungku Omar, Ipoh, Perak Abstract: In the construction industry, reinforced concrete is a common structural material used in many types of construction, such as structures, water tanks, foundations, towers, production structures, dams, and bridges. Sometimes cracks develop when loads, restrained shrinkage, or temperature changes give rise to tensile stresses more than the tensile strength of the concrete. Building defects are one of the major components of building problems and can include cracking, blistering, bulging, segregation, honeycomb, and spalling. Structural defects are any defects in a building that are attributable to defective design, workmanship, or material. They can occur due to overloading, and poor maintenance. Regular inspection is key to protecting the health of a building's structure. Engineers need to prepare Requests for Inspections (RFIs) to rectify the defects to prevent failure, and a lot of waste can be determined through the process. This study focuses on the development of a mobile application for post-concreting inspection. Firstly, the Root Cause Analysis was used to identify the waste from the RFI's processes. Then, to reduce waste from the RFI work, an application called Post-Concreting Inspection Mobile Application (e-PCI) was developed using Flutter and the effectiveness of the e-PCI was evaluated. As a result, the wastage identified along the RFI processes is time, cost, and overproduction. By using current technology, such as e-PCI, all the waste that was produced can be reduced. So, this PostConcreting Inspection Mobile Application (e-PCI) is effective for use in the construction industry. 58 CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT PLATFORM A.R. Amir Syafiq1 and B.M.

Railway construction on soft soil to extremely soft soil is frequently done due to lack of area for development. Soft soils are one of the major sources of engineering issues as this soil has high compressibility and porosity thus countermeasures against soft soil have become an important necessity in geotechnical issue. In the initial procedure of Ground Treatment of soft soil involving remove and replace method, sand has become key material as reinforcement blanket for the embankment. Sand consumption has increased worldwide, in part due to the growth of the world’s population, increasing standard of living, and rapid urban expansion, hence the reason this raw material became very costly and limited. Therefore, the aim of this research is to verify waste material in quarry dust can replace sand in geotechnical software which is Plaxis 2D. Three objectives were achieved including determining material properties, designing model parameters, and analyzing output result of Plaxis 2D to deduce a conclusion from the data. Five different models with various mixed ratios between quarry dust and sand were prepared in Plaxis 2D. The calculated model was then analyzed under the scope of settlement produced in different points with different loads. A model consisting of 25% sand and 75% quarry dust was deduced as the suitable model as the data provide lowest amount of settlement occurred. Under Finite Element Method calculations of Plaxis 2D, quarry dust can indeed coexist with sand to reduce the usage of this raw material globally. 70

ABSTRACT: Energy is a crucial component since it provides the necessary support for all of the building's electrical systems to run. Energy must be consumed by the building's electrical systems and its occupants in order for the lights in the rooms, computer socket outlets, and air conditioning systems to operate as long as the building is in use. All usage is centric to the occupants’ comfort. In industrial buildings, energy is aggressively consumed to increase productivity. However, there are occupants and end-users in office buildings that use a lot of energy and lack energy-saving behaviours. This is even worse for non-green buildings that are not equipped with sensors to cut off any unused devices and equipment. Therefore, this study was conducted to highlight the factors such as passive design failure, social-based energy use, and types of intensive energy users that influence the behaviour of building occupants towards energy. The method for conducting this study is to review the literature from previous studies in related fields, which are energy and building environments. Findings also tend to show that, despite being comfort-centric, there are also bad attitudes influencing energy behaviours. The results of this study can be used to continue the study examining the relationship between occupant behaviour and building performance. This study is important for improving the efficiency of energy use, especially in non-green buildings. 72

ID ABSTRAK 114 MALAYSIAN PARTICIPATION FEMALE ISSUES BASED SPORT TOURISM EVENT NUR AZMIRA FITRI BINTI MUHAMAD AMIN, Politeknik Ibrahim Sultan, 81700 Pasir Gudang, Johor, Malaysia. ABSTRACT: The demand for women's sports tourism has significantly increased with the growth of the women's economy. In contrast, there is a dearth of study on women's sports tourism behaviour in the body of knowledge. This essay looks into problems that limit women's involvement in sports tourism. The goal of the study is to first identify the elements of the barrier experience in sports tourism events in Malaysia, then to investigate the biggest obstacles to participation in sports tourism events in Malaysia, and finally to suggest solutions to overcome these obstacles. Female leisure habits differ from those of the general population in a multiracial society because they are governed by the social structures of many cultures. Based on Crawford, Jackson, and Godbey's (1991) hierarchical model of leisure constraints, this study explores the obstacles and compromises faced by Malaysian women participating in event based sports tourism. The obstacles encountered were due to structural and cultural factors. Interpersonal coordination, intrapersonal constraints, structural constraints, and cultural constraints were taken into consideration during the negotiations. The relevant operators may be able to develop plans to enter the multi-billion ringgit sports tourism market by using the new information. 32 INSIGHT ON WAYFINDING IN COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS Muhammad Rashidi Rustam1 , Shahida Sharuddin2 1,2Politeknik Premier Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, 40150 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia ABSTRACT: In order to help people find their way around a room, building, or other unfamiliar surroundings, wayfinding is one of the best techniques for communicating messages. It is crucial in large and intricate structures like hospitals, educational facilities, airports, and especially commercial buildings like shopping malls. When wayfinding is used correctly, it can contribute to the positive perception of a company. However, many people lack awareness about the wayfinding in buildings, especially shopping malls, healthcare centres, and airports. Therefore, this paper gathers detailed information or reviews wayfinding. It consists of types, purposes, signage, benefits, and differences between commercial and residential buildings, which are discussed in Chapter 2, Literature Review. All of these help organisations increase their productivity by increasing customer's satisfaction. Effective wayfinding is important, especially in commercial buildings, because it is one of the things that attracts people to come over. Using a mixed-methods approach such as a questionnaire survey and observation, the data that needs to be collected by the researcher for the study can be obtained quickly and accurately. In general, buildings that have an effective wayfinding system that is suitable for all people have the highest ability to attract people and increase productivity for stakeholders 77

ID ABSTRAK 33 GREEN FRAMEWORK TO ENHANCE INDOOR AIR QUALITY INSICK BUILDINGSYNDROME Afif Farhan Adnan and Mohd Zuriati Abdul Majid2 1 ,2Department of Civil Engineering, Politeknik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah,40150 Shah Alam Selangor, Malaysia ABSTRACT: The high concentration of harmful substances, both natural and manufactured, found indoors, the interior's lack of ventilation, and the prolonged period employees spend inside can all contribute to various health issues. An increase in health-related symptoms, as well as an increase in absenteeism and productivity loss, can be caused by poor indoor air quality (IAQ). So, this study aims to improve thermal comfort and sufficient ventilation in buildings. The main objective of this paper is to provide green framework to enhance indoor air quality in sick building syndrome (SBS) and maintain a healthy and comfortable environment free of contaminants. In previous studies, poor indoor air quality hasbecome a significant problem, primarily viewed as a substantial health, environmental, and economic risk.Therefore, specific principles can assist in enhancing and managing indoor air quality. Researchers employ the mixed method to determine the most successful approach for the case study. Due to the potential influence on building occupants, the green building idea is gaining traction in promoting a healthier atmosphere, particularly by enhancing IAQ. A comprehensive literature review was used to develop a green framework for IAQ, Green frameworks are green strategies such as green tools,standards, codes, and organisational and national policies and procedures. Green initiatives may regulate the causes of poor IAQ, human activities, and IAQ performance and raise awareness. 34 THE IMPACT OF PHYTOARCHITECTURE ON INDOOR AIR QUALITY IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT Irfan Haiqal Termizi1 and Nur Hafidzah Muhamadan2 ¹,2Polytechnic Premier Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, 40150, Selangor, Malaysia. ABSTRACT: Plants, or vegetation, are used in many forms in the built environment, from simple indoor plants to complex and abundant green spaces. Phytoarchitecture, or green space, is the necessary landscape of man-made structures that provide a natural environment and accelerate other life processes. Plants have evolved into strategic positions for healthy interior buildings or built environments, enhancing their decorative function for residents' comfort. However, most modern buildings do not include plants in their built environment, which simultaneously worsens air quality, increases the release of harmful chemicals from building facilities, reduces the productivity of building occupants, and at the same time causes increased electricity consumption in facilities such as ventilation and cooling systems. This paper identifies the effects of phytoarchitecture on indoor air quality in the built environment. The findings are the result of a detailed amalgamation of various previous sources of authentic literature, such as types of plants and their uses in helping to preserve the built environment. The results of the literature review found that plants not only contribute to a healthy environment by producing oxygen, but they also have a positive effect on human satisfaction in the built environment. Recent compilations of research papers have revealed, among other things, the emergence of phytoremediation as a biological method in the built environment. This important finding supports ongoing facilities management research, which will be discussed in more depth in this article. 78

In summary, the lack of support from authorities, lack of knowledge and practice on Value Management, resistance to change from the consultant, and time constraints remain the most impeding challenges in Value Management implementation. In conclusion, the significant findings from this research will allow the rise of effectiveness and awareness among developers on the application of Value Management to increase 36 INSIGHT ON HYGIENE PERFORMANCE AT GENERAL HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE CENTER Muhammad Iquan Khairuddin1, Nik Zety Akhtar Abdul Aziz2 1,2Department of Civil Engineering, Politeknik Premier Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, 40150 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. ABSTRACT: The World Health Organisation (WHO) emphasises that poor care wastes considerable resources, endangers universal public health, and lowers productivity through deteriorating human capital. Hence, offering high-quality treatment or services is crucial to achieving universal health coverage, in addition to effectively covering vital health services and ensuring financial stability in each country. In contrast to the physical features of service, patients are more satisfied with the clinical parts of treatment. This illustrates how Malaysian state hospitals place a greater emphasis on clinical rather than physical features. The main purpose of this concept paper is to raise awareness of the significance of hygiene at a general hospital and healthcare centre in Malaysia. In this paper, it also identifies the primary variables that can be thought to prevent the analysis of patient satisfaction at healthcare facilities and how organisations are positioned to deal with the difficulties. Not limited to that, the review also identifies the level of satisfaction with hygiene at general hospitals in Malaysia. All this information is obtained by using mixed methods, which include interviews, questionnaires, and observation. This sparks an interesting conversation about how government hospitals intend to enhance Malaysia's healthcare system. It was found that the elements of hygiene performance in hospitals are patients’ satisfaction, environmental qualities, FM in healthcare centres, and challenges in practising hygiene in hospitals. 79

ID ABSTRAK 115 THE TENDENCY OF TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY POLITEKNIK STUDENTS TO WORK IN THEIR FIELD NORAZMIRA NAJWA BINTI ABDUL AZIZ1 1Politeknik Ibrahim Sultan, 81700, Johor, Malaysia.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, the need for sustainable building methods has increased due to the substantial impact of buildings on energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. In response to this difficulty, numerous building owners and managers have implemented occupancy sensors to increase the energy efficiency of their buildings. Occupancy sensors are a form of sensor technology that utilizes motion detection to automatically manage lighting, heating, and cooling systems in response to occupancy changes. This paper provides information on the gathering of occupancy sensors as a technique for enhancing the efficiency of buildings. It came out with reviews covering the benefits of occupancy sensors, factors of effectiveness of occupancy sensors in buildings, and challenges that inhibit the implementation of occupancy sensors in enhancing building efficiency. Usually, the data is taken from the mixed method approach from buildings with occupancy sensors for analysis. The findings from the reviews also demonstrate a substantial decrease in energy usage and an improvement in indoor air quality and occupant comfort. However, the occupancy sensors installation creates obstacles, such as the necessity for routine maintenance and the possibility of system faults. This study illuminates the practical considerations and benefits of installing occupancy sensors in buildings and the potential for this technology to increase building efficiency and sustainability. 81

ID ABSTRAK 39 A STUDY OF THE IMPACT OF LIGHTING ON WORKPLACE PRODUCTIVITY Tan Lun Chuan1 and Nurul Waheeda Raja Zilan1 1,2Department of Civil Engineering, Politeknik Premier Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, 40150 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. ABSTRACT: A lighting system’s purpose is to illuminate a place with a certain amount of light in accordance with design standards to ensure humans can visually experience their surroundings. There are two sources of lighting: natural light and artificial light. Natural light refers to the light provided by the sun and is available during daylight hours, while artificial light refers to any light created through various sources such as incandescent lamps, fluorescent tubes, and light-emitting diodes (LED). Natural light is often preferred in workplaces, as it can also improve overall health. On the other hand, artificial light can be associated with some negative effects, such as eye strain, headaches, and fatigue, when used for prolonged periods. Furthermore, the trend of the building nowadays limits the employee's necessary natural light exposure. Lighting conditions can significantly impact all aspects of human life, such as visual comfort, health, and productivity, especially in the workplace. Moreover, a study showed an office's lighting may influence employees' moods, which in turn can impact their comfort and output. Since people spend one-third of their lives at work, society should be concerned about this issue. Therefore, this paper provides insight based on a literature review into how lighting affects workplace productivity and will provide a comprehensive framework for future research. 69 EXPLORING THE TRADITIONAL KOMPANG MAKING TECHNIQUES IN JOHOR S.Yuwataarani1, Khatijah Binti Md Saad2 ,Muhammad Helmi Bin Abu Bakar3 1,2,3Politeknik Ibrahim Sultan, 81700 Pasir Gudang, Johor, Malaysia.
