How density affects energy demand in urban grids: the case study of the Eixample district of Barcelona
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyHigh density and compact urban morphology are usually considered prerequisites for sustainable development. This paper explores the effect of density on the air-conditioning demand of urban grids in the Mediterranean ... -
Influence of mass and insulation in building retrofitting
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe building envelope of old buildings is usually composed of a single layer with high mass and without thermal insulation, which characterizes its thermal behaviour. Retrofit actions tend to accomplish with thermal building ... -
Embodied energy in passive architecture strategies: a balcony and a glazed gallery for a dwelling in a Mediterranean climate
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper contributes to studies with a global view of buildings environmental impact, considering the main stages of the building life cycle. The objective is to determine the energy trade-off between the operational ... -
Sky view factor and urban heat island mapping applications in Barcelona
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis study proposes a methodology to map urban heat island intensity based on sky view factor (SVF) data, using Barcelona as a case study. We used LiDAR data to generate the SVF map of the city and empirical and simulation ... -
Energy rehabilitation with external thermal insulation (ETICS) in Zaragoza (Spain): application to social housing in Saltillo, Mexico
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe sustainability goals agreed by most countries have made them focus their attention on the high energy consumption of buildings and the weight within this consumption of the residential sector. This makes the energy ... -
