The energy-efficient retrofitting process of residential neighbourhoods in southern Europe has certain socio-economic and climatic uniqueness which are not included in the European guidelines, thereby rendering the corresponding action programs unviable. This research considers that an appropriate management of the energy retrofitting of buildings...

Recently built school buildings present an increased air-tightness and have adopted mechanical ventilation systems, operating several hours daily to achieve adequate Indoor Air Quality. Nevertheless, in warm regions, the hours per year for which heating systems are required remain moderate. In these climates, natural ventilation systems present a v...

The city is a physical and social construction made by man, which affects the daily life of citizens and therefore has become the main focus of social and human relations, able to respond to their needs and ensure a better life quality. That is why it is necessary to analyze and study the habitability and quality of life in urban contexts as a para...

Between the years 2013–2015, members of the research group TEP 954 InFact, worked on a I + D contract awarded by the Department of Public Works of the Government of Andalusia, studying the needs for intervention in the Andalusian buildings from the 40s with the aim of ensuring “active ageing” and “at home”. The research proposes a new urban model w...

Repair works of reinforced concrete structures are complex, expensive, and with a strong impact on the environment . Repair solutions with composite materials , FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer), are the most efficient, if we consider mechanical characteristics and lightness. To assess its sustainability it is necessary to analyze this type of structu...

In a context of fuel poverty, the application of cost-effective methodology for energy retrofitting of buildings is ineffective. In these situations, there is no energy consumption reduction and thermal comfort is hardly achieved. This paper introduces a methodology to choose the most appropriate retrofit measure in a context of fuel poverty. This...

European regulations set the condition of Zero Energy Buildings for new buildings since 2020, with an intermediate milestone in 2018 for public buildings, in order to control greenhouse gases emissions control and climate change mitigation. Given that main fraction of energy consumption in buildings operation is due to HVAC systems, advances in its...

Las premisas del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior conducen a cambios importantes en el modelo de enseñanza, que debe asumir un enfoque más práctico, centrado en el estudiante y en el aprendizaje de competencias, en lugar de contenidos. Una metodología docente adecuada en este contexto es el aprendizaje basado en problemas (ABP). Con este métod...
