Bottom-up model for the sustainability assessment of rooftop-farming technologies potential in schools in Quito, Ecuador
(2020-07-18)
Article
Open AccessRooftop-farming technologies can transform unexploited roofs into agricultural areas; and though studies have quantified the sustainability of diverse rooftop-farm systems, researchers lack a direct comparison between these ... -
Co-simulation for thermodynamic coupling of crops in buildings: case study of free-running schools in Quito, Ecuador
(2022-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyRooftop farms can improve a building's thermal and energy performance, especially for uninsulated free-running buildings. The non-refurbished educational building stock lacks indoor comfort related to temperature and high ... -

(EJournal Publishing, 2019)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe purpose of this research is the enhancement of thermal comfort in social housing in four different climates zones in Mexico: Veracruz- Hot semi-humid, Monclova- Extremely Hot dry, ... -
Passive mosaic energy optimization: toward free-running school buildings
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-07-28)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessTechnic, economic, environmental, and architectural constraints in existing building stocks set an energy renovation framework not always compatible with passive strategies. In deep energy renovations, the first line of ... -
Real-reference buildings for urban energy modelling: a multistage validation and diversification approach
(2021-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyUrban energy models are required to establish baselines, map buildings' performance, and explore energy and CO2 emissions reduction strategies. The authors propose a new reductive bottom-up model to estimate the final ... -
Simulation of energy efficiency measures for the residential building stock: a case study in the semi-arid region
(Institute of Physics (IOP), 2021-03-01)
Article
Open AccessGlobal energy use has risen due to increased demands and inefficient grids in developing countries. Energy saving is detrimental in countries in which their energy supply capacity is lower than their demand. Energy ... -
