El objetivo principal de este documento será establecer un protocolo que permita evaluar el impacto de la iluminación natural en los edificios, a través de la obtención de la tabla que contenga los valores horarios de los Factores de Iluminación Natural o Daylight Factor. Dicha tabla se obtendrá mediante el software Revit, siendo validada por...

Conseguir los objetivos definidos por la Unión Europea en el horizonte 2030-250 y frenar los efectos del cambio climático, hacen esencial el empleo de técnicas de ahorro y eficiencia energética en todos los sectores económicos. El sector de la edificación comprende una gran parte del consumo mundial. Reducir la demanda energética de los...

En los últimos años, el impacto del calentamiento global, la degradación ambiental y la pandemia sanitaria ha resaltado la importancia de crear entornos exteriores térmicamente confortables. Dentro de este contexto la presente tesis busca analizar de manera integral los balances energéticos que influyen en el confort térmico de las personas en...

This paper presents the deep renovation of a social housing district in Mengíbar (Jaén, Spain) through the promotion of passive improvement strategies adapted to the reality of the inhabitants: a population with limited resources that often finds itself in a circumstance of energy vulnerability. The district is located in a predominantly hot...

Las temperaturas en el interior de las viviendas y su entorno urbano aumentan cada año, especialmente en climas cálidos, alejándose cada vez más de las condiciones de confort deseadas. La escasez de vegetación y el uso de materiales convencionales en las zonas urbanas llevan a un empeoramiento de las condiciones ambientales, alimentando el...

La importancia del confort en los espacios urbanos se ha visto reforzada a nivel internacional, debido a la aparición del efecto de Isla de calor en las grandes ciudades del sur de Europa. El objetivo de planificadores, urbanistas, arquitectos e ingenieros es recuperar la habitabilidad de los espacios urbanos, luchando contra los efectos...

The open spaces of cities have become hostile to citizens due to the high temperatures. Lack of thermal comfort hampers outdoor activities. It is imperative to combat these phenomena to bring life back to the streets and make spaces frequently used in the past more appealing to local citizens. The aim is to mitigate the severity of the outdoor...

Sanitary issues, combined with the effects of climate change, emphasize the comfort of outdoor spaces in cities. Numerous comfort models exist and can predict thermal sensation. However, these comfort indices need to be validated in hot zones and quantify the neutral range considering people's thermal resilience. The present study investigates...

The ongoing energy crisis in Europe is highlighting the role of the building sector in energy consumption, particularly in countries like Spain, where 90.4% of existing dwellings lack thermal efficiency. Encouraging homeowners to undertake renovations can prove challenging, especially when complex thermal insulation techniques are involved....

Urban space is considered a harsh place for citizens in large cities in Southern Europe due to the climate change situation. Heat waves and urban heat island (UHI) are the adverse effects on pedestrians. For this reason, large city administrations are developing climate shelters to reduce these thermal conditions. This study aims to design a...

Increasing comfort conditions in buildings imply higher energy demands. However, these needs can be mitigated by solar cooling solutions. These systems, such as absorption chillers, are complex and require stable operation, with strict control to maximise the solar fraction and minimise gas consumption. This is incompatible with the variability...

The growing impact of climate change, including extreme weather events, represents a significant challenge for humanity. With most of the world's population living in urban areas, the urban heat island effect and anthropogenic heat contribute to elevated city temperatures. This increase in urban warming threatens human health and demands a...

The global need for healthy and safe open spaces faces continuous temperature rise due to the heat island phenomenon and climate change. This problem requires new strategies for improving the habitability of open spaces (indoor and outdoor conditions in buildings). These techniques include reducing solar radiation, reducing the temperature of...

Lack of thermal comfort in the existing building stock in many warm summer climates and the COVID-19 pandemic have increased residents' temporary occupation of urban open spaces. However, climate change and other effects such as urban heat islands are also negatively affecting the livability of these spaces. Therefore, strategies are needed to...
