Application of distributed optical fiber sensors for the health monitoring of two real structures in Barcelona
(2018-07)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThe versatility and ease of installation of Distributed Optical Fibre Sensors (DOFS) compared with traditional monitoring systems are important characteristics to consider when facing the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) ... -
In situ measurement of façades with a low U-value: avoiding deviations
(2018-04-17)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialIn situ measurements of low thermal transmittance façades are required to ensure compliance with en- ergy performance strategies for new nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB) and with energy policies for the transition of ... -
Estimation of a room ventilation air change rate using a stochastic grey-box modelling approach
(2018-08)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThe measurement of ventilation air change rate is a difficult, expensive task in buildings. Usually, the tracer-gas mass balance equation is used to determine ventilation air change rates. This method uses an ordinary ... -
Assessing the influence of operating conditions and thermophysical properties on the accuracy of in-situ measured U-values using quantitative internal infrared thermography
(2018-07-15)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialWithin the European context, most of the current residential building stock does not fulfil minimum thermal requirements and needs to be refurbished urgently. Quantitative internal infrared thermography can provide valuable ... -
Communication key performance indicators for selecting construction project bidders
(2017-11)
Article
Accés obertIt is vital to select the right project bidders, as this affects the success of a project. Although there are numerous methods for assessing bidders, communication is rarely taken into account. This paper discusses the ... -
Multi-criteria decision analysis to assess the environmental and economic performance of using recycled gypsum cement and recycled aggregate to produce concrete: the case of Catalonia (Spain)
(2018-06-01)
Article
Accés obertThe production of virgin raw materials used in construction and the generation of construction and demolition waste (CDW) are key environmental issues in the construction industry. Portland cement and concrete are used ... -
Embedded distributed optical fiber sensors in reinforced concrete structures: a case study
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2018-04)
Article
Accés obertWhen using distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS) on reinforced concrete structures, a compromise must be achieved between the protection requirements and robustness of the sensor deployment and the accuracy of the ... -
Reduced-order modeling for energy performance contracting
(2018-05-15)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialBuildings subject to Energy Performance Contracts (EPCs) are usually quite complex public buildings, sometimes relatively old and usually barely documented from the technical standpoint. Gathering comprehensive and reliable ... -
Rooftop greenhouses in educational centers: a sustainability assessment of urban agriculture in compact cities
(Elsevier, 2018)
Article
Accés obertToday, urban agriculture is one of the most widely used sustainability strategies to improve the metabolism of a city. Schools can play an important role in the implementation of sustainability master plans, due their ... -
Urban planning and agriculture. Methodology for assessing rooftop greenhouse potential of non-residential areas using airborne sensors
(Elsevier, 2017-12-01)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThe integration of rooftop greenhouses (RTGs) in urban buildings is a practice that is becoming increasingly important in the world for their contribution to food security and sustainable development. However, the supply ... -
Quantitative internal infrared thermography for determining in-situ thermal behaviour of façades
(2017-09-15)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThe thermal behaviour of a building is often underestimated or neglected during its construction and operation stages. In recent years, the heat flux meter (HFM) method has been commonly used to determine the U-value, a ... -
Implementation of predictive control in a commercial building energy management system using neural networks
(2017-09-15)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialMost existing commercial building energy management systems (BEMS) are reactive rule-based. This means that an action is produced when an event occurs. In consequence, these systems cannot predict future scenarios and ...
