Building heating and cooling systems using thermoelectricity appear to be a feasible alternative, as it presents several features including versatility and high reliance. While most applications of thermoelectricity in buildings are found in wall systems, window integration shows excellent potential for enhancing the thermal performance of building...
Research interest in the integration of thermoelectric systems in the building envelope have increased during the last years. Studies show that regardless of a low COP compared to vapor compression systems; thermoelectric systems present other remarkable features for heating, cooling and ventilation on buildings. Among those studies, a few prototyp...
Thermoelectricity applied to thermal conditioning of buildings presents an alternative to conventional HVAC systems. Researchers at the Universidad de Navarra (Spain) have been working since 2009 on the development and application of thermoelectric systems. This paper summarizes the experiences and work done up to date in regard to thermoelectric i...
The authors of the article work on the integration of thermoelectricity in facades since 2009. The purpose of this article is to review the possibilities that this technology offers for its incorporation as a building air conditioning system, focusing on the description and analysis of the behaviour of the last prototype made within a research proj...
The leather industry is an example of circular economy, as it uses meat industry wastes (hides and skins) as raw materials. However, the process of tanning also produces a substantial amount of organic waste. This research project studies the case of a tannery located in Navarra, in the North of Spain, committed to a circular economy and environmen...
Con la oportuna efeméride del centenario del nacimiento de la “Bauhaus” se planteó un proyecto coordinado entre varias asignaturas para los alumnos de 2º curso del Grado en Diseño de la Escuela de Arquitectura de la Universidad de Navarra. Con el “Ballet Triádico” dirigido por Oskar Schlemmer en 1923 como referente principal, se proponía la elabora...
Leather industry is an example of circular economy, using meat industry wastes (hides and skins) as raw materials. However, it also produces a big amount of organic waste in the process of tanning. This paper presents an experimental study of several proposals to reuse the weekly tons of left-overs (both shavings and hair) issued by a tannery, as n...
JOURNAL OF ARCHITECTURE, PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT -
The need for tools to achieve a higher level of competitiveness and profitability has made management systems an important partner for construction companies. The environment in which construction projects are developed is dynamic, mainly characterized by complexity, uncertainty, int...
The use of thermoelectricity in buildings represents a significant alternative for indoor thermal comfort necessities avoiding the use of refrigerants. One of the possible application options of this technology is the integration of thermoelectric modules in a building façade. Even though several studies have ex- amined the technology for this appl...
Researchers have spent decades exploring strategies for reducing energy consumption in buildings worldwide, proposing passive solutions and optimizing active systems. However, no breakthrough tech- nology has been developed. The use of thermoelectricity in buildings for heating, cooling and ventilation has been proposed as an alternative solution t...

The need for tools to achieve a higher level of competitiveness and profitability has made management systems an important partner for construction companies. The environment in which building projects are carried out is dynamic, mainly characterized by complexity, uncertainty, interdependence, nonlinearity, ambiguity and speed. Dynamic means that...
Occupancy schedules in building spaces play an important role in evaluating a building’s energy performance. This work seeks to identify disparities between different occupancy estimation techniques; standardised occupancy profiles found in literature, business processes’ based profiles through interviews and accurate profiles from real on-field me...
A Thermoelectric Cooling-Heating Unit (TCHU) is an innovative technology that uses the thermoelectric phenomena as a heating–cooling system for buildings. In TCHU, a direct current (DC) electrical current supplies the power to a Thermoelectric Equipment (TE) heat-pump system, which can transfer heat in one direction or another depending on the curr...
The use of Opaque Ventilated Façades (OVF) has considerably increased in recently years as an envelope solution in a variety of building types, climates, and design configurations. It is considered an appropriate solution not only for renovation of existing buildings but also for new buildings. The influence of ventilated façades in buildings is a...
La crisis financiera de 2008 y el consiguiente estallido de la burbuja inmobiliaria han causado la mayor crisis jamás experimentada por la Edificación en España. Hasta entonces, el aumento continuado del precio de la vivienda, a tasas anuales desmedidas, explica por qué gestionar precio y plazo se había convertido en una cuestión secundaria para mu...
En los últimos años se ha vivido un periodo de incertidumbre alrededor de BIM, al dudarse de los beneficios de su implementación y su introducción definitiva en el sector. En este momento parece claro que BIM ha llegado a España para quedarse, tal y como evidencian los últimos acontecimientos; la creación de la Comisión BIM Nacional en julio de 201...
OBJETIVO. Establecer un marco conceptual en el que se equiparan el grado de definición del modelo BIM y el nivel de desarrollo conforme a la Especificación LOD (Level of Development Specification) con las diferentes fases del proyecto de edificación en España, relacionándolos con el uso posterior del modelo, en función de las dimensiones BIM.

This paper is comprehended in the study of the application of the biomimicry science in building services and energy management, taking as a reference the case of tuna. Tuna generates heat in the muscles, organs and tissues of the inner area of its body (dark muscles). This heat is distributed in the periphery in order to maintain constant body tem...
In order to fulfil the current challenges for the European building sector, building design has diverged into two alternative directions: active technologies and passive design strategies. In the last few years, advanced and responsive building envelope components have represented a promising answer to these challenges. This paper presents the desi...

The research is looking for an innovative self-sufficient, industrialized and lightweight façade module that integrates a thermoelectric HVAC system. The principal aim of the research was to try providing a built answer to the current efficiency objectives (Directive 2010/31/CE), creating a façade solution that can be installed in new buildings or...
The article presents the process of placing sensors in a multi-sensorial network, dynamically incorporating a
large number of heterogeneous input sources able to provide accurate monitoring data related with space
occupancy, energy consumption, comfort levels and environmental quality.To evaluate this multi-sensorial
network on real life conditions...
The current methods of building energy simulation that designers and engineers (D&E) use in order to find the energy performance of a building do not take into account the real behavior and daily activities of the people who will use the building. The main aim of this paper is to demonstrate that a system for building simulation, that produces data...
