Artículo 3D modeling of the Macarena Wall (Seville): Methodological proposal for its integration in digital cartographic management stude(2021-06-30) Cabrera Revuelta, Elena; Mascort-Albea, Emilio J.; Hidalgo Sánchez, Francisco Manuel; Romero Hernández, Rocío; Canivell, Jacinto; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Estructuras de Edificación e Ingeniería del Terreno; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas II (ETSIE); Universidad de Sevilla. TEP018: Ingeniería del Terreno; Universidad de Sevilla. TEP211: Conservación Preventiva del Patrimonio ConstruidoConservation studies of an architectural asset constitute a solid support for future interventions. In particular, Digital Cartographic Management advocates the use of simplified models that allow different levels of definition to be achieved, depending on the desired architectural scale. Based on previous studies in which four levels of definition have been achieved, the aim is to define a fifth level from a 3D model. For this purpose, the Macarena Wall (Seville) is proposed as a case study. In this work, a photogrammetric survey of a section of the sector of this medieval wall is carried out, from which the entities that will form part of a fifth level of definition are identified.Artículo 3D GIS Semi-automatized Modelling Procedure for the Conservation of the PHiM: Heritage Municipal Buildings of Seville (Spain): a New Dimension for Urban Cultural Data Management(ACM, 2022) Hidalgo Sánchez, Francisco Manuel; Mascort-Albea, Emilio J.; Kada, Martin; Romero Hernández, Rocío; Canivell, Jacinto; López Larrínaga, Francisco; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas II (ETSIE)This research explores the possibilities resulting from the use of three-dimensional (3D) models designed in GIS environments for their application to the management and conservation of historical architectonic heritage. This 3D modelling work is one of the strategic actions of the recently finished Master Plan for Conservation of Heritage Municipal Buildings (PD-PHiM) for the City of Seville (Spain). This plan deals with the analysis of a group of 115 municipally owned buildings of high heritage interest that include different typologies, chronologies scales, and uses. This investigation has complemented and continued the initial work begun by the Seville Spatial Data Infrastructure (ide.SEVILLA) in the field of 3D mapping of urban environments and its publication as institutional open data. The implemented improvements started on an initial diagnosis of a preliminary urban model, which reached a level of detail (LOD) of 2, as defined by the CityGML standard, in only 20% of the registered assets in the PD-PHiM database. The proposed methodology has achieved the automation of most of the process of building 3D geo-referenced models to increase the percentage of assets that reach the LOD2 to 75%. The initial information comes from the use of institutional spatial data of different types and sources: Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), Spanish Cadastre Office, and so on. Additionally, the generated entities have been linked to a complex, multidisciplinary and multiscale database, designed within the framework of the strategic actions of the PD-PHiM. The contributions of the proposal, especially in the automation of processes, imply a considerable saving of resources in comparison with other methods in which the modelling is eminently carried out manually. Thus, they are complementary to those that are related to the use of 3D modelling software intended for other purposes, with the consequent incompatibilities and hard interoperability procedures with GIS environments that this implies.Artículo A budget for the ecological footprint of buildings is possible: a case study using the dwelling construction cost database of Andalusia(Elsevier, 2019-11) Freire Guerrero, Antonio; Alba-Rodríguez, María Desirée; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Ingeniería del Diseño; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas II (ETSIE); Universidad de Sevilla. TEP172: Arquitectura: Diseño y TécnicaOver the last decade, the ARDITEC research group has developed a methodology for the calculation of the ecological footprint of buildings throughout their life cycle. The model starts with the evaluation of the information in the budget on whether they are urbanization, construction, renovation, or demolition projects, and evaluates its impact employing databases of Life Cycle Analysis. In the present work, the methodology is adapted in order to be valid in the determination of project budgets that simultaneously calculate the economic cost and its ecological footprint. The boundaries of the problem are the ones already defined in the Andalusian construction cost databases. The database has a pyramidal structure (basic elements or units) enables either the impact of work units to be combined or the cost or impact to be determined of different stages (earthworks, foundations, structures, etc.). The present work evaluates, for the first time, all the basic elements in dwelling construction, approximately 7000 items. Finally, a case study of the urbanization and construction of dwellings in Andalusia is presented. The economic control of the budgets provides the opportunity to introduce the control of the environmental impact by using a common language already in place in the sector.Artículo A Comparative Analysis of the International Regulation of Thermal Properties in Building Envelope(MDPI, 2019) Bienvenido Huertas, José David; Oliveira, Miguel; Rubio Bellido, Carlos; Marín García, David; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Expresión Gráfica e Ingeniería en la Edificación; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas II (ETSIE)To achieve the goals of reducing building energy consumption, regulations are being designed to guarantee the appropriate energy performance of buildings. Both European and South American countries establish requirements of thermal properties of building envelope according to the climate zone, thus implying notable di erences in climate classifications and technical requirements. This research provides a general view of advantages and limitations between the di erent state regulations of three South American countries (Argentina, Brazil, and Chile) and three European countries (Spain, Portugal, and France). A total of 792 simulations were conducted with Energy Plus by considering 12 di erent dwelling typologies in 66 climate zones. Building envelopes were adapted to the regulations of the various countries. Results showed tendencies of performance clearly di erent between the South American and the European countries, with the latter being those with the lowest energy demands. The cluster analysis of distributions of energy demand revealed that buildings located in similar climates but in di erent countries present very di erent energy performances. This research opens up the discussion on the development of more demanding policies related to thermal properties of buildings. Also, the analysis at a continental scale could reduce the di erences between countries and guarantee a more sustainable life for the building stock.Artículo A comparative study on energy demand through the adaptive thermal comfort approach considering climate change in office buildings of Spain(Springer, 2020) Sánchez García, Daniel; Rubio Bellido, Carlos; Tristancho Carvajal, Mónica; Marrero Meléndez, Madelyn; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas II (ETSIE); Universidad de Sevilla. RNM162: Composición, Arquitectura y Medio Ambiente; Universidad de Sevilla. TEP172: TEP172: Arquitectura: Diseño y TécnicaIn Spain, the current Building Technical Code (referred to as CTE in Spanish) establishes restrictive setpoint temperatures that ensure high levels of thermal comfort but at the expense of high energy demands. However, the strategy to achieve thermal comfort in offices tends towards the adaptive approach, since users manually open windows, control the operation of the air-conditioning systems, and perform adaptation actions in order to achieve adequate levels of well-being. This research develops the adaptive comfort control implemented model (ACCIM), which dynamically handles the setpoint temperatures based on the limits of adaptive comfort, in three representative climatic zones of the Spanish territory, in both the present scenario and future scenarios. This is carried out by following a methodology based on the phases of (i) analysis of climatic zones, (ii) model construction, (iii) data collection, (iv) simulations in the present scenario, (v) simulations in future scenarios, and (vi) analysis of the results of a theoretical model and of a real-life model. Not only do the results indicate that it is possible to reduce the energy demand, by using adaptive setpoint temperatures, up to 69.91% for the least restrictive category and of 31.34% in the category that has the highest level of expectation of the users, but they also show the variations in demand that would occur in possible future climatic scenarios. The application of the study in a real-life case achieves minimum differences of between 3% and 10%, thereby validating the prediction model.Artículo A fuzzy logic approach to preventive conservation of cultural heritage churches in Popayan, Colombia(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2021) Chávez de Diego, María José; Prieto, Andrés J.; Turbay, Isabel; Ortiz, Rocío; Macías Bernal, Juan Manuel; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Matemática Aplicada I (ETSII); Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas II (ETSIE)From a decision-maker’s perspective, the management of cultural heritage is a challenging task because of different objectives pursued, the public/private nature of heritage constructions studied, the wide variety of associated values (artistic, historical, cultural, economic) and diverse interests of different stakeholders. Careful consideration of environmental, social and economic factors is crucial in order to predict the functional service life of heritage constructions. This study outlines a new fuzzy system approach based on expert knowledge, which focuses on the serviceability of heritage buildings using a Mamdani fuzzy model. The method input considers 10 intrinsic variables directly related to the vulnerability of buildings and 9 external hazards, classified according to static-structural features and environmental hazards, which are considered useful for defining emergency programs in historical centres in South America (Colombia). The automation of inspection programs similar to the one described here may reduce the consumption of natural resources and benefit a more rational management of future maintenance actions. In general terms, this type of fuzzy logic model approach is designed to serve as an indicator for the future evolution of the functionality of buildings. This research contributes to the study of new service life models applied to heritage buildings in South America.Artículo A Multiplatform BIM-Integrated Construction Waste Quantification Model during Design Phase: the case of the Structural System in a Spanish Building(MDPI, 2021) Quiñones Rodríguez, Rocío; Llatas, Carmen; Montes Delgado, María Victoria de; Cortés Albalá, Isidro; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas II (ETSIE)Construction waste (CW) is a prime contributor to the stream of total waste worldwide. One of the biggest challenges of the construction industry is to minimise CW and to develop practices of a more sustainable nature for its management and recycling in order to promote its transition towards a more effective circular economy. The implementation of these practices contributes towards mitigating the scarcity of natural resources and the environmental impact of CW. Thus, a preceding and essential step is the estimation of CW during building design, which will allow the adoption of measures for its early reduction and optimisation. For this purpose, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become a useful methodology to predict waste during the early stages of design. There remains, however, a lack of instrumental development. Therefore, this study proposes a BIM-based method to estimate CW during building design by integrating a consolidated construction waste quantification model in three different BIM platforms. For its validation, the method is applied to the structural system of a Spanish residential building. The results provide evidence that the proposed method is vendor-neutral and enables the automatic identification and quantification of the waste generated by each building element during the design stage in multiple BIM platforms.Artículo A novel Index of Vulnerable Homes: findings from application in Spain(SAGE Publications, 2020) Castaño Rosa, Raúl; Solís-Guzmán, Jaime; Marrero Meléndez, Madelyn; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas II (ETSIE)This paper develops a novel index of vulnerable homes in terms of fuel poverty that is based on the analysis of different existing fuel poverty indicators and their relationship to the residential sector. The new index of vulnerable homes unifies the many indicators hitherto employed, and assesses the home vulnerability situation regardless of whether or not it is in fuel poverty by using three dimensions: monetary cost, energy and thermal comfort. The monetary dimension analyses vulnerability in relation to the available net income to face everyday life. The energy variable assesses the vulnerability related to the constructive characteristics of the dwelling. Finally, the introduction of the thermal-comfort variable enables the evaluation of the vulnerability related to the inner temperature of the dwelling and its perception by occupants. The combination of the different resulting values in each dimension and its relationship to the quality of life of occupants establishes a hierarchy of vulnerable levels. As a result, a multi-dimensional index is defined which relates technical aspects (characteristics of the dwelling) and social aspects (quality of life of households). The index of vulnerable homes provides a more complete assessment of the home situation than the existing fuel poverty indicators by identifying which variables require a greater assistance.Artículo A systematic review of BIM-based life cycle sustainability assessment for buildings(MDPI, 2024-12-17) Berges Álvarez, Ileana; Martínez Rocamora, Alejandro; Marrero Meléndez, Madelyn; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas II (ETSIE); Universidad de Sevilla; Universidad de Sevilla. TEP172: Arquitectura: Diseño y TécnicaThe construction industry has enormous impacts on the three dimensions of sustainability: environmental, economic, and social. To mitigate these impacts, several researchers have explored a variety of methods that link Building Information Modeling (BIM) with methodologies for a holistic evaluation of sustainability, such as Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA). However, the complete integration of BIM-LCSA still remains unresolved, with a series of challenges that must be overcome. Consequently, the aim of this article is to identify the advances and challenges of BIM-LCSA integration focused on buildings through a literature review of the existing solutions presented by researchers worldwide. The PRISMA 2020 protocol is used. A total of 135 articles published between 2010–2023 are reviewed for bibliometric analysis. Furthermore, an exhaustive analysis of the case studies is carried out, by taking into account the structure proposed by ISO 14040. The authors identify a gap in the literature mainly regarding the full integration of the three dimensions with BIM that facilitates a simultaneous on-the-air assessment, in addition to the lack of a standardized LCSA method of calculation.Artículo A work breakdown structure for estimating building life cycle cost aligned with sustainable assessment-application to functional costs(MDPI, 2024-04-16) Vázquez López, Eduardo; Solís-Guzmán, Jaime; Marrero Meléndez, Madelyn; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas II (ETSIE); Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Ingeniería Gráfica; Universidad de Sevilla; Universidad de Sevilla. TEP172: Arquitectura: Diseño y TécnicaThe tools used for budgeting in the building design phase are still insufficient to address the life cycle of the building in terms of environmental and cost impacts. The main objective of this research is to define a model for extending existing cost databases to accommodate life cycle sustainability assessment. For this, current classification systems are reviewed and a case study has been analysed using the new approach. To this end, a new system of classification of construction information is proposed for the evaluation of early design costs, when data are scarce and the only information available refers to the gross interior area and the plot. The classification organizes the costs in a similar way to the sustainability assessment in EN-15643. A subcategory has been added for revenue, developer costs, and taxes at all stages of the lifecycle. The resulting classification is applied to the functional elements of a secondary school project. In the case study, construction costs represent 21% while the use stage accounts for 72% in a 100-year lifespan. The results show that, starting from generic cost bases, more complex costs and functional costs can be defined at different stages of the life cycle and adjusted to sustainability assessment standards.Artículo Action protocols for seismic evaluation of structures and damage restoration of residential buildings in Andalusia (Spain): “IT-Sismo” APP(MDPI, 2019-04) Mascort-Albea, Emilio J.; Canivell, Jacinto; Jaramillo-Morilla, Antonio; Romero-Hernández, Rocío; Ruiz-Jaramillo, Jonathan; Soriano-Cuesta, Cristina; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Estructuras de Edificación e Ingeniería del Terreno; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas II (ETSIE)The seismotectonic conditions of the Iberian Peninsula trigger the occurrence of earthquakes with an occasional periodicity, but with intensities greater than VI on the European macroseismic scale (EMS). For this reason, local action protocols are required in order to efficiently organise the technical inspections that must be carried out on a massive scale after events such as the earthquakes experienced in the Spanish cities of Lorca (2011) and Melilla (2016). This paper proposes the development of a set of documents for the evaluation and diagnosis of the state of existing buildings and infrastructure regarding seismic activity in Andalusia. With special attention paid to residential typology, approximations have been carried out to the normative context, to general comparatives, to particular analyses of a case studies selection, and to complementary approaches. The results have led to the establishment of two specific protocols. Firstly, the short-term guideline enables the classification of damage and risk levels, and the determination of what immediate interventions should be carried out through the generation of a preliminary on-site report. This activity can be performed by architects and engineers with the help of a mobile-device application (APP IT-Sismo Andalucía). Additionally, a long-term protocol provides calculation procedures and constructive solutions for the improvement of the seismic behaviour of affected buildings. Specially designed tests demonstrate the validity of the protocols and illustrate the need for information and communication technologies (ICT) tools in the evaluation of architectonic technical aspects.Artículo Adaptation Strategies and Resilience to Climate Change of Historic Dwellings(Sustainability Editorial Office, 2015) Rubio Bellido, Carlos; Pulido Arcas, Jesús Alberto; Cabeza Laínez, José María; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas II; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Historia, Teoría y Composición ArquitectónicasHistoric city centres have a large amount of dwellings in Europe, which were built to provide a comfortable shelter with the absence of mechanical means. The knowledge of climate responsive design strategies can play a significant role in reducing the energy demand of extant buildings, paving the way for its sustainable development in the face of the rising threat to its occupants of climate change. The residential architecture, developed, in most cases, in dense urban centres, was built using both available materials and traditional and academic construction technologies. This paper thoroughly investigates the extant urban conglomerate in Cádiz and analyses, in a qualitative and quantitative manner, which bioclimatic design strategies were applied and the city’s adaptation for future climate scenarios. The results indicate that historic housing in Cádiz is creatively adapted to the local natural conditions by means of a combination of climate responsive strategies, and there is significant scope for improvement in the ongoing response to global warming.Artículo Adaptive comfort control implemented model (ACCIM) for energy consumption predictions in dwellings under current and future climate conditions: A case study located in Spain(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-04-20) Sánchez García, Daniel; Bienvenido Huertas, José David; Tristancho Carvajal, Mónica; Rubio Bellido, Carlos; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas II (ETSIE)Currently, the knowledge of energy consumption in buildings of new and existing dwellings is essential to control and propose energy conservation measures. Most of the predictions of energy consumption in buildings are based on fixed values related to the internal thermal ambient and pre-established operation hypotheses, which do not reflect the dynamic use of buildings and users’ requirements. Spain is a clear example of such a situation. This study suggests the use of an adaptive thermal comfort model as a predictive method of energy consumption in the internal thermal ambient, as well as several operation hypotheses, and both conditions are combined in a simulation model: the Adaptive Comfort Control Implemented Model (ACCIM). The behavior of ACCIM is studied in a representative case of the residential building stock, which is located in three climate zones with different characteristics (warm, cold, and mild climates). The analyses were conducted both in current and future scenarios with the aim of knowing the advantages and limitations in each climate zone. The results show that the average consumption of the current, 2050, and 2080 scenarios decreased between 23% and 46% in warm climates, between 19% and 25% in mild climates, and between 10% and 29% in cold climates by using such a predictive method. It is also shown that this method is more resilient to climate change than the current standard. This research can be a starting point to understand users’ climate adaptation to predict energy consumption.Artículo Adaptive Comfort Models Applied to Existing Dwellings in Mediterranean Climate Considering Global Warming(MDPI, 2018-09) Sánchez García, Daniel; Rubio Bellido, Carlos; Pulido Arcas, Jesús Alberto; Guevara García, Francisco Javier; Canivell, Jacinto; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas II (ETSIE)Comfort analysis of existing naturally ventilated buildings located in mild climates, such as the ones in the Mediterranean zones, offer room for a reduction in the present and future energy consumption. Regarding Spain, most of the present building stock was built before energy standards were mandatory, let alone considerations about global warming or adaptive comfort. In this context, this research aims at assessing adaptive thermal comfort of inhabitants of extant apartments building in the South of Spain per EN 15251:2007 and ASHRAE 55-2013. The case study is statistically representative housing built in 1973. On-site monitoring of comfort conditions and computer simulations for present conditions have been carried out, clarifying the degree of adaptive comfort at present time. After that, additional simulations for 2020, 2050, and 2080 are performed to check whether this dwelling will be able to provide comfort considering a change in climate conditions. As a result, the study concludes that levels of adaptive comfort can be considered satisfactory at present time in these dwellings, but not in the future, when discomfort associated with hot conditions will be recurrent. These results provide a hint to foresee how extant dwellings, and also dwellers, should adapt to a change in environmental conditions.Artículo Adaptive comfort potential in different climate zones of Ecuador considering global warming(MDPI, 2023-04-24) Delgado Gutiérrez, Evelyn Yaneth; Canivell, Jacinto; Bienvenido Huertas, José David; Hidalgo Sánchez, Francisco Manuel; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas II (ETSIE); Universidad de Sevilla; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICIN). España; Universidad de Sevilla. TEP211: Conservación Preventiva del Patrimonio Construido; Universidad de Sevilla. TEP018: Ingeniería del TerrenoEcuador is a country with several climate zones. However, their behaviour is similar throughout the year, with no peaks of extreme temperatures in the various seasons. This paper is a first approach to study the adaptive comfort behaviour in several areas and populations of the country. Considering the ASHRAE 55-2020 model, energy simulation programmes are applied not just to the current climate scenario but also to the climate change scenarios of 2050 and 2100. The results of locations are analysed and compared to determine their performance. Thanks to their climate characteristics, adaptive comfort models could be applied as a passive strategy, using natural ventilation for building indoor comfort improvement, particularly social dwellings. According to previous studies, some prototypes have not considered the climate determinants in each region. Given the geographic situation of the study areas, the adaptive comfort model could be applied in all cases. Percentages of application of natural ventilation and heating and cooling degree hours have similar behaviours according to the climatic region, with a variation greater than 30% among them.Artículo Adaptive Thermal Comfort Potential in Mediterranean Office Buildings: A Case Study of Torre Sevilla(Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI), 2018-08-30) Castaño-Rosa, Raúl; Rodríguez Jiménez, Carlos Eugenio; Rubio Bellido, Carlos; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas; Universidad de Sevilla. RNM162: Composición, Arquitectura y Medio AmbienteThe design and construction of buildings is currently subject to a growing set of requirements concerning sustainability and energy efficiency. This paper shows a case study of the Torre Sevilla skyscraper, located in the city of Seville (in the south of Spain), which has high-tech energy-efficient features and which uses air-conditioning systems during most of its operating hours. The analysis carried out starts from a simulation in which occupants’ thermal comfort are obtained, based on the adaptive comfort model defined in the standard EN 15251:2007. With this approach, it is possible to determine the number of hours during operation in which the building has adequate comfort conditions only with the help of the envelope and natural ventilation. Consequently, the remaining useful hours require the use of air-conditioning systems. The results show that it is possible to improve the thermal performance of the building due to its location in the Mediterranean climate. To do this, advanced mixed mode (through manual-opening or mechanically-controlled opening windows) and active air-conditioning are suggested. This experimental proposal provides a reduction of the occupation hours which require the use of air-conditioning equipment by 28.57%, reducing the air-conditioning demand and, consequently, the energy consumption of the building.Artículo El albero: un material muy sevillano(Consejo General de Aparejadores y Arquitectos Técnicos, 1998) Alejandre Sánchez, Francisco Javier; Universidad de Sevilla.
