Abstract

This paper evaluates norms and assesses the level of knowledge in air conditioning project management within the construction industry. A total of 25 questions were distributed to multiple candidates, who were filtered based on pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Thirty-nine candidates were ultimately approved to participate in the survey. The questions were designed to address five hypotheses, with each set of five questions corresponding to one hypothesis. The results were obtained after pre-processing the data using Matlab software. The data was pre-processed using Matlab software, and the results were analyzed using the Delphi method. The analysis revealed that only two hypotheses were approved: No matter whether there are nationalized safety rules or not, the impact of data sciences and smart technologies, including air conditioning management systems, is critical for human life in the building business.

Comment: The research utilises a methodical approach to data collecting, guaranteeing that the findings are exhaustive and precise. In conjunction with the structured questionnaire, the inclusion and exclusion criteria for participants established a high bar for research in the subject. The paper underlines the utmost importance of data sciences and intelligent technologies, regardless of current safety standards. This exemplifies how the construction industry is evolving, with an increased dependence on technology for efficiency and safety. The study shows the crucial significance that air conditioning management systems play in the building sector. Such systems are essential for the safety and well-being of inhabitants in addition to enhancing comfort, highlighting the necessity for building project management experience in this area.
