A university’s main function is to produce quality graduates, and in doing so, university buildings do play significant roles and are vital assets and resources. Hence, to prolong a university building lifecycle to ensure all university activities to continue performing at an optimum level, building maintenance management is central. Even though several previous studies have been conducted in this area, university buildings maintenance is still viewed as insignificant. The research about utilization of infrared thermography in term of maintenance in public universities is still lacking. The objective of this research to provide recommendations for area within the public universities that can benefit from the application of infrared thermography to enhance maintenance. The research method used in this research is a qualitative method. Three public universities that was established for more than 50 years were chosen as case studies. The data was collected through narrative review and the data was then analysed. The findings highlight the benefits of implementing infrared thermography in older building maintenance within public universities, particularly in improving energy efficiency and identifying hidden issues such as moisture intrusion and structural defects. The study emphasizes the importance of timely maintenance actions based on infrared thermography assessments to reduce energy consumption and apply predictive maintenance strategies. By conducting in-depth analyses at three established public universities in Malaysia, the researchers demonstrate the effectiveness of infrared thermography in enhancing maintenance practices and prolonging the lifecycle of university buildings.

The growing popularity of multicopters has heightened interest in improving and optimizing UAVs. This has become a major source of inspiration for scholars. Extensive aerodynamics research would result in improved multicopters and boost their appeal to major sectors. Various aspects of the performance of various propeller designs and configurations have been studied by researchers. Various performance metrics have also been investigated and discussed in this paper. Aerodynamic testing of propellers and multicopter designs are discussed in this paper. Numerical simulations are also used widely in the study of drone and multicopter aerodynamics. This method enables high resolution observation on wake propagation and flow visualizations. Nonetheless, as new multicopter concepts are introduced, new aerodynamic challenges emerge in this field. Therefore, more studies need to be done on uncommon but rather important configurations so that these can have a beneficiary effect on the multicopter industry.
