4 X 4: methodology to design a set of 4 MOOCs between 4 entities under the same topic: Erasmus + smart rehabilitation 3.0 project

Smart Rehabilitation 3.0 project, co-funded by European program Erasmus +, aims to define a new professional profile of “Building Rehabilitation Expert” and the creation of homogeneous curricula, validated at European level.
One of the research lines of the project is the development of 4 Massive On Line Open Courses (MOOCs) for the training of these experts within the framework of higher education, which is a pressing need, taking into account that housing stock in Europe, built before 1960, reaches 37% in South Europe, 42% in North&West Europe and 35% in Central and East Europe. The working team is led by the Rehabimed association, and the partners are the Association of European Experts in Building & Construction from Ireland (AEEBC), together with four universities: Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – Barcelona Tech (UPC); University of Lituania (KTU); University of Cyprus (UCY); University of Palermo (UNIPA). The latter 4 are the ones that have mainly developed the 4 MOOCs.
This paper will explain the different steps to design the structure of a set of 4 MOOCs sharing a common topic, the improvement of rehabilitation skills for building professionals, with the added complexity of 4 different countries involved in their development. This collaborative work for a common objective was based on an apparent contradiction: the existing (historic) buildings of each of the countries involved, respond to their very particular materials and construction traditions. So, how to teach rehabilitation strategies that could be applied globally?
This has been the great difficulty, but also the great richness of the final result. Aspects such as choosing the topics in which each of the partners could contribute greater knowledge, defining the common structure to all the 4 courses, deciding the main communication languages and subtitles, and the complexity of management to find a common digital platform that could host the 4 courses in an interrelated manner, led to long and interesting debates, in which every intervention was one more step towards rapprochement between the different countries.
As a result, a replicable methodology will be shown for the collaborative design of MOOCs between various entities that pursue a common goal, but adapting the guidelines and action criteria to the particularities and scope of technological and economic capabilities of each country.

Interactive 360° website versus on-site visits for architecture students to achieve readiness in construction practice
Onecha Pérez, Ana Belén; Cornadó Bardón, Còssima; Morros Cardona, Jordi; Pons Valladares, Oriol
Learning practical-professional contents at the university has proven to be difficult and often not successful, as employers report regarding employed graduates’ knowledge and skills. In architecture and construction engineering, construction on-site visits are usual professional oriented learning activities. These visits imply several challenging issues: industry-university collaboration, safety insurance and equipment provision, transport, and difficult learning environments due to noise and risks. Digital visual technologies evolution and recent contexts like pandemic lockdowns have promoted the development and application of new alternatives. This paper presents the first version of a new website platform that allows students to interactively travel through the time and space of a building process. This visual digital environment is enhanced by learning material like notes and questionnaires. This research project compares the strengths and weaknesses between this new learning platform and on-site visits. Comparing learning activities is a crucial multicriteria complex problem, which depends on factors related to these alternatives, the parties involved and their context. This comparison follows a model that combines a literature review, focus groups, the revised Bloom taxonomy, SWOT technique, the multi-criteria decision method MIVES, Delphi method, Knapsack problem and neuroscience applied to learning processes. This creates a model that focuses on the learning process while also considering cost and environmental issues. This comparison is based on data from undergraduate and master students’ populations at different university study years who have done either on-site visits, used this new platform or both. Results obtained confirm some of the alternatives’ expected weaknesses and strengths while detecting unforeseen threats and opportunities.

Hoy en día, es creciente la importancia que debe darse a la consideración de aspectos de sostenibilidad en el desarrollo de proyectos de infraestructuras. En concreto, la elección del material de construcción idóneo puede permitir mejorar notablemente la sostenibilidad de la estructura en términos tanto económicos, ambientales como sociales. Este artículo propone un modelo de evaluación de la sostenibilidad basado en la teoría multi-atributo para analizar diferentes alternativas de materiales para miembros estructurales. El modelo es utilizado para evaluar la sostenibilidad de distintas alternativas de cubiertas de polideportivos.

An in-depth study of the construction, use and deconstruction of a 60 apartment social housing complex to be built close to Barcelona revealed the importance of the application of life-cycle analysis, as the materials’ embodied energy showed to be responsible for half of the building’s life-cycle emissions. A 72% energy reduction compared to conventional housing projects is expected by implementation of centralised HVAC and DHW systems, based on ground source heat pumps and solar thermal energy, introducing an in Catalonia innovative facility management approach where energy and flow meters are installed in each flat for internet-based control of energy consumption, invoicing and supervision of the installation. A second study showed that up to 90% CO2 reduction considering the overall lifecycle is feasible at reasonable cost by giving priority to organic building materials like wood (CO2 storage effect), minimizing underground construction and increasing energy supply based on renewable energies.

The improvement of the built housing stock, especially in areas of social vulnerability, has become a need to be addressed in recent years by public administrations. Consequently, the need to train professionals in transversal knowledge has become urgent, not only related to construction technology but also to issues of social content. This paper shows the design of a Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) entitled “Accompanied self-renovation. Habitability and safety conditions improvement” which is part of the Smart Rehabilitation 3.0, a project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Program that aims to mitigate and cover the gap between educational offer and the social reality, by defining, a new professional profile of “Building Rehabilitation Expert”.

Cities the world over require more resilient architecture that satisfies stricter structural safety standards than in the past. However, there are too many urban building structures about to reach the end of their designed life. This is especially serious in the case of loadbearing brick architecture built during the Spanish post-war period, when mid-height edifices were built by means of slender brick wall-based structures due to the tight economic situation and an endemic need for dwellings. At present, it is necessary to invest in strengthening them by means of resilient and sustainable repairs in order to recover their functionality and safety. One of the alternatives used with this purpose is the spraying of cementitious materials, which has great potential but limited efficient applications. Thus, further studies about materials, procedures and structural design are needed to improve the available knowledge. In this context, this paper is part of a research project that aims to achieve a substantial scientific and technological advance to strengthen buildings with sprayed cementitious materials, increasing their global sustainability regarding the resilience of the urban settlements. Therefore, this project addresses four themes: 1) search for more sustainable materials that have low permeability and low shrinkage; 2) development of models that take into account the specificities of sprayed materials; 3) improvement of quality control procedures and 4) a proposal for durability models that allow an integrated design for the resulting composite structure. The main objective of this research project is to define a new strengthening methodology through spraying that will be more compatible with the boundary conditions and the requirements of each application. This article presents the programmed tests for this project’s second theme and its first results. From these results, some advantages and disadvantages in the case of Barcelona buildings are discussed and first conclusions about the application of this technique in this specific case study are presented.

Novel architectural strategies to support an nZEB Mediterranean school

The Educational Department of Catalan Government has designed a new public school located at the center of Catalonia, in the town of Solsona. For this new construction model, they have set a main goal to minimize the energy demands, which are a key factor in reducing carbon dioxide emissions over the whole life of the building. Specifically, the objective is to increase the envelope performance, permitting to reduce as much as possible the implementation and use of active heating and cooling systems. The most representative strategy to do so is the use of brick curtain wall, designed in analogy with glass curtain walls as a facade. It allows the use of thermal mass to cool the building passively during the night in summer time and it helps to ensure airtightness in the envelope to minimize air leaks. This facade is complemented with an architectonical element that produces electricity based on photovoltaic panels. Based on the energy simulation results and waiting for the actual building's construction, some relevant conclusions can be made. The role of the architecture has been crucial to ensure an optimal result, especially contributing on the reduction of the overheating hours, resulting to the minimization of the cooling energy demand. The building does not require any installation of mechanical cooling systems, even being located in the Mediterranean climate. In south orientations, the use of doubled glazing seems to be efficient enough to achieve a low energy demand while, it optimizes at the same time the total economic construction cost. Photovoltaic production in schools must be combined with some other actions. The energy exportation to the grid, as well as the use of the energy for the electric vehicle charging are feasible options for the future.
