Multi-objective optimization of building life cycle performance. A housing renovation case study in Northern Europe

2020

While the operational energy use of buildings is often regulated in current energy saving policies, their embodied greenhouse gas emissions still have a considerable mitigation potential. The study aims at developing a multi-objective optimization method for design and renovation of buildings incorporating the operational and embodied energy demands, global warming potential, and costs as objective functions. The optimization method was tested on the renovation of an apartment building in Denmark, mainly focusing envelope improvements as roof and exterior wall insulation and windows. Cellulose insulation has been the predominant result, together with fiber cement or aluminum-based cladding …

TREŚĆ I FORMA OPRACOWAŃ GRAFICZNYCH W MIEJSCOWYM PLANOWANIU PRZESTRZENNYM W KONTEKŚCIE ROZWOJU TECHNOLOGII GEOINFORMATYCZNYCH

2018

Spatial planning concerns activities that have a mapping in space, therefore graphic design is an indispensable part of planning documents. Their content and form change along with the changes in legal regulations and the development of technology. In the article, the author presents how the planning drawings made in the local planning changed in the post-war period, and indicates how they should be prepared at present, taking into account the current legal requirements and technological possibilities.

Antonino Sancho Arango, un arquitecto en el tránsito hacia la Valencia contemporánea

2016

The process of modernization that Valencia and its territory underwent during the central decades of the 19th century is intrinsically linked to the trajectory of Antonino Sancho Arango’s career. He is considered an important figure in Valencian urban planning of this century, but his works in the field of architecture are almost unknown. This article aims to complete the study of the Antonino Sancho’s work and to establish a biography that values his role in the changes experimented by Valencia, but also Sancho’s dedication to public projects. La modernización que experimentaron Valencia y su territorio durante las décadas centrales del siglo XIX es indisociable de la trayectoria profesion…

Cap Rate as the Interpretative Variable of the Urban Real Estate Capital Asset: A Comparison of Different Sub‐Market Definitions in Palermo, Italy

2017

Real estate capital is in constant competition with other capital assets due to its different and complementary economic functions such as direct use, productive investment, and speculative investment. These features and the resulting opportunities cannot be easily deduced from direct observation of the real estate markets, so some further insights need to be carried out in order to highlight the relationship between prices, rents and performances. This study aims at providing a multifaceted perspective of a specific urban real estate market to overcome the difficulties arising from opacities and informative asymmetries that hinder the decision of investors, by facilitating the comparison o…

Multiple criteria assessment of methods for forecasting building thermal energy demand

2020

Abstract Nowadays worldwide directives have focused the attention on improving energy efficiency in the building sector. The research of models able to predict the energy consumption from the first design and energy planning phase is conducted to improve building sustainability. Use of traditional forecasting tools for building thermal energy demand tends to encounter difficulties relevant to the amount of data required, implementation of the models, computational costs and inability to generalize the output. Therefore, many studies focused on the research and development of alternative resolution methods, but the choice of the most convenient is not clear and simple. Single comparison of s…

Modelo Barcelona y política cultural: usos y abusos de la cultura por parte de un modelo emprendedor de desarrollo local

2015

El Modelo Barcelona de desarrollo local ha sido intensamente debatido· Desde su inicio en los años ochenta hasta la actualidad, diversos autores han analizado sus características como modelo, destacado sus éxitos y también sus puntos débiles. No obstante, menos atención ha recibido la relación que existe entre el modelo de desarrollo local y el modelo de política cultural, a pesar de que Barcelona también es internacionalmente conocida por su dinamismo cultural. De manera habitual, este modelo de política cultural ha sido interpretado como un instrumento en la agenda de desarrollo local. El presente artículo mostrará, a partir de análisis de diversos casos ejemplares, que la política cultur…

Cities' Identity Through Architecture and Art

2018

Intended to be a guide for academics, scholars, and interested leaders, this book was designed to critically assess issues related to architectural identity, the city as a scene, the city as an organism, the city as a subject, and the planning or rather approaching of one. A pressing issue for many researchers in the field, the book discusses the negative repercussions resulting from globalization. Studies have indicated that globalization, despite all the positive effects, has resulted in a loss of identity within a city. As a city develops over time, its identity is evolving as well and may even be lost due to rapid and constant changes it is subjected to. Discussed as well are examples a…
