Social Indicators in the Sustainable Refurbishment: Calculating Quality of Life Indicator in a Residential Building in Málaga

How can we measure ‘quality of life’? The sustainable refurbishment goes beyond strictly energy aspects. Sustainability indicators are needed to facilitate data collection and to provide information which does not require too time-consuming calculations. Thus, you can offer an idea of the extent and quality of the rehabilitation before starting the project and, also, the obtained results can be evaluated in an agile way after the refurbishment. From a list of social indicators gathered from different methods, sustainability assessment tools and International and European standards, three social indicators are proposed: Users Satisfaction, Participation Agreement and Quality of Life. This paper shows the development of Quality of Life social indicator, the more closely related to the main objectives of Researchand Development Project “Sustainable Refurbishment”: improving energy efficiency and wellbeing of users in existing residential buildings. Finally, this social indicator is applied to a real case study in Málaga (Spain).

Cross Ventilation CFD Modeling: Characterization and Study of Different Façade Openings Configurations at the Refurbishment of a Residential Building in Málaga (Spain)

The opening of new windows on the façade is proposed as a refurbishment strategy in an existing building in Málaga to facilitate cross ventilation of dwellings. The building is a residential block of 140 public housing units for rent for people with low income in Málaga (Spain), property of the City Council. By modeling with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), eleven configurations of openings are studied in two different areas of the main housing type of the building. The quantity of introduced/extracted air into/from the room and the generated airflow patterns are obtained. The modeling allows comparing the different openings configurations to determine the most appropriate ventilation option for every room.

Comparativa de métodos de descontaminación de suelos afectados por hidrocarburos. Aplicación a la obra del AVE de Málaga

El objetivo de esta tesis, va a ser la investigación y desarrollo de tratamientos de biorremediación para conseguir la recuperación de los terrenos contaminados situados en el tramo del tren de alta velocidad entre Córdoba y Málaga, reduciendo de esta forma los residuos enviados a vertederos. Para ello, se va a investigar y a desarrollar una tecnología innovadora de descontaminación in situ de suelos con altas concentraciones de hidrocarburos, basándonos en el landfarming y como principal avance la coexistencia con hidróxido de magnesio, elemento no utilizado nunca y potencialmente muy útil. Se va a pretender reducir la concentración final de hidrocarburos y el tiempo de tratamiento, sin transportar a vertedero los residuos. Se desean conseguir las condiciones ambientales óptimas que permitan potenciar la degradación microbiana de los hidrocarburos y sus productos residuales en corto tiempo Se va a investigar el empleo del hidróxido de magnesio como complemento al landfarming y a buscar las sinergias de este compuesto como gran fijador de metales pesados. ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis will be the research and development of bioremediation treatments for the recovery of contaminated land in the stretch of the high speed train between Cordoba and Malaga, thereby reducing waste sent to landfills. To do this, is to research and develop innovative technology for in situ remediation of soil with high concentrations of hydrocarbons, based on the main progress landfarming and coexistence with magnesium hydroxide, item never used and potentially very useful. It will pretend to reduce the final hydrocarbon concentration and treatment time, without transporting waste landfill. They want to get the optimum environmental conditions for enhancing microbial degradation of hydrocarbons and waste products in a short time It will investigate the use of magnesium hydroxide as a complement to landfarming and seek synergies of this compound as a great fixer of heavy metals.
