Article
This paper examines the critical role of hydrogen in advancing sustainable mobility within rural landscapes, addressing the urgent global need for cleaner transportation solutions. Despite the focus on urban centers, rural areas present unique challenges and opportunities for implementing sustainable mobility solutions, particularly in developing c...
Article
The decarbonization of the power sector is undertaking a global transformation with different roadmaps, inclusion of new generation technology and different legal frameworks. In the last years, the costs of renewables have dropped substantially allowing them economically competitive with conventional fuels, in most global markets. However, the isol...

In the last years, the increase in urbanization and the volume of construction has accelerated. This situation requires systematizing the use of limited resources, especially in island territories. The construction sector contributes to the depletion of these resources and has a significant impact on society, which is why it is necessary to change...
Article
The transposition of the European EURATOM directive into the regulations of the different member states of the European Union involved governments making great efforts to define priority action maps against indoor radon exposure in buildings over a short time period. In Spain, the Technical Building Code established 300 Bq/m3 as a reference level a...
Article
Full-text available
Nowadays, a large amount of the total primary energy is consumed by buildings, accounting for about 40% of the total energy demand. Aligned with the EU objectives and the strategies to reduce the demand, cooling and heating are stated as the most energy consuming processes and the building envelope plays an important role to reduce the energy consu...
Article
Full-text available
Nowadays, the computational simulation of the energy consumption in buildings is a key issue to determine the most proficient configuration between the construction solutions and the necessary equipment, without compromising comfort and accomplishing the legal requirements for each country. The feasible and most profitable solutions can lead to min...
Article
The recommendations of the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) have recently been incorporated into Spanish regulations in the Basic Document of Health Standards of the Technical Building Code (CTE), section HS6, on protection against radon exposure. This further accentuates the need to delimit radon prone areas as a strategy to address meas...
Article
Wastewater-fed microalgal biomass has attracted a considerable interest for biofuel production via pyrolysis in recent years. In this study, thermal degradation behavior and pyrolysis kinetic parameters have been investigated by non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis. Analysis of the reactive phase showed two partially overlapping devolatilizati...
Article
The durability of building materials is a fundamental issue addressed by many researchers who seek to improve working life by obtaining durable and more sustainable materials. In the Canary Islands, there are traditional buildings with carpentry elements that remain unchanged, without any apparent degradation. Specifically, the wood used in Canaria...
Article
The lapilli is an aggregate commonly used for the manufacturing of commercial concrete blocks in the Canary Islands. These blocks are manly utilized for exterior walls of buildings. However, these blocks have two main weaknesses. The first is associated with the fact that the concrete mixes, containing only lapilli as an aggregate, have a high ther...

p>Traditional Canarian Buildings are part of the rural landscape and urban space of the Canary Islands and constitute a relevant element of its architectural heritage, which must be preserved. Probability, the Pitch wood is the building material that best represents traditional Canarian architecture. The identification of this wood is essential f...

The aim of this research is to assess the influence of the effective water-cement ratio on the concrete workability and strength. This study was carried out with a concrete used for the manufacture of concrete caissons for the construction of a harbour in the south of Tenerife. This commercial concrete was elaborated with basaltic aggregates but wi...
Article
The realization of several silvicultural treatment in Canary Islands entails the felling of the Canarian pine that can be an energy source as lignocellulosic biomass. The kinetic parameters of the pyrolysis of the Canary pine, which were yet unavailable in the literature, were determined. The isoconversional methods of Kissinger and Flynn-Wall-Ozaw...
Chapter
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a transformation of corporate culture ranging from the pursuit of value and maximum economic benefit to the commitment to contributing to sustainable development, collaborating with different social agents, governments, international organizations, global civil society and social movements. CSR is a more eff...
Chapter
In this work the behaviour of cement mortars is studied in the laboratory through experimentation with different dosages. A fuzzy system is designed with the obtained experimental data: linguistic variables and labels, membership functions’ position and rules adjustment are included in a Mamdani inference system. The main goal of the fuzzy system i...
Article
In the interventions to historical heritage sites, it is necessary to have the characterization and identification of the raw materials in accordance with the architecture under study, in order to facilitate conservation and rehabilitation strategies. Pitch wood comes from the resinous heartwood of Pinus canariensis and is identity sign of traditio...
Poster
The aim of this investigation is to compare the behavior between Pitch wood and two commercial woods: the Pinus caribaea, often used to replace construction elements of Pitch Wood in rehabilitation works in traditional Canarian buildings, and the Pinus pinaster, which is not recommended for this purpose.
Article
The correlation between electrical resistivity and the properties of concrete, make its determination becoming increasingly in a parameter of great interest in concrete characterization. It is presented in this work a guide of good practices for make a resistivity meter of 4-points and low-cost. We will detail all the necessary steps essentials in...
Article
This paper present an experience of teaching innovation implemented in the course of Building Materials Degree in Building Engineering, University of La Laguna. We present the methodology followed in developing learning objects, their implementation and eva- luation of these resources by students in mobile learning model. In this project, mobile de...
Article
Vapor-liquid equilibrium data for the binaries of butyl alkanoates (from methanoate to butanoate) + butan-2-ol were determined at 101.32 kPa in a small-capacity ebulliometer. The four systems studied were found to be thermodynamically consistent by the point-to-point test and they presented a positive deviation from ideality. The activity coefficie...
Article
Densities and excess volumes were determined at 298.15 K for propyl methanoate + ethanol, +propan-1-ol, and +butan-1-ol. The results of those quantities were then correlated to get the concentrations of vapor-liquid equilibrium obtained isobarically at 160 kPa for the same mixtures. Two mixtures show azeotropes: for propyl methanoate (1) + ethanol...
Article
The concentrations of the vapor-liquid equilibria have been measured in a small capacity recirculating still for the binaries composed of four butyl esters (from methanoate to butanoate) and propan-2-ol at a constant pressure of 101.32 kPa. VLE data were thermodynamically verified with the point-to-point test and the predictions made using several...
Article
Densities of 298.15 K and the vapor−liquid equilibria for 1-butanol + butyl methanoate, + butyl ethanoate, + butyl propanoate, and + butyl butanoate have been measured at 101.32 kPa in a small capacity ebulliometer. All results were found to be thermodynamically consistent with a point-to-point test. The mixtures containing butyl methanoate and but...
