The goal of this research is to analyze these production processes and identify the critical aspects that make the technology’s implementation and management viable. The methodology used involves i. the product’s adaptation; ii. determining supplies and resources for its feasibility; iii. detecting the most critical production processes; and, iv. adapting to the particular case of application. A set of minimum requirements is obtained to develop a productive venture. In addition, the most critical processes related to the separation and obtaining of the EPS and its continuous supply over time, are identified. The results summarize contributions to replicate and make this experience sustainable.","PeriodicalId":41346,"journal":{"name":"Revista Habitat Sustentable","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48244151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Added to the need to progressively improve the energy performance of our buildings to achieve carbon neutrality is this completely contrary new requirement, which forces reconsidering the ventilation issue, its standards, and technological solutions to improve IAQ and limit the risks of contagion inside our homes, without losing sight of the goals that climate change imposes on us. Chile is seeking strategies to generate sustainable, energy-efficient, and comfortable housing, which must be reconsidered in light of Covid-19. Greater permanence inside the home revealed the precariousness of the lifestyles the most vulnerable families face; sometimes exposing them to environments that are risky for their health. The objective of this research was to estimate the impact of Covid-19 on CO2 indoor air concentrations, as a result of the intensity of use (occupation) of the home, considering envelopes with different levels of airtightness. Using an experimental methodology, based on simulations with the DesignBuilder software, the CO2 concentrations of four types of social housing, located in the commune of Coronel, Biobío, Chile, were quantified. The results showed that confinement increased CO2 levels by 16.4%, while the change from the original condition of the envelope to more airtight levels generated an increase of more than 83% in normal use and 97% for periods of confinement.","PeriodicalId":41346,"journal":{"name":"Revista Habitat Sustentable","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68329934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The work was complemented by evaluating the Daylight Glare Probability (DGP) index: verifying the occurrence of glare. The diagnosis showed excess lighting at points close to openings, insufficient lighting at points far from them, low levels of uniformity in the distribution of natural lighting and intolerable glare thresholds. Consequently, a new arrangement of the classroom was proposed, incorporating elements for the redirection of sunlight and its performance was verified. The results of the proposal showed important differences. A significant reduction in lighting levels was achieved, reaching levels of visual comfort for classrooms (300-500 average lux), improvements in the uniformity of natural light, with its consequent verification according to standards, and a significant reduction in glare levels due to penetration direct sun.","PeriodicalId":41346,"journal":{"name":"Revista Habitat Sustentable","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45277450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in countries like Chile, there is still a large gap regarding methodologies to assess the social sustainability of projects in this area. Using a qualitative content analysis applied to experts’ interviews (n = 11), this study aims at (1) identifying metrics to assess the social sustainability of urban drainage systems; (2) identifying challenges for the implementation of such metrics, and (3) proposing changes to the current system, to assess urban drainage systems that enhance the integration of social sustainability within these systems. The results show that experts proposed metrics that may assess social sustainability, but in practice, these metrics are difficult to quantify. In terms of challenges, the fragmentation of responsibilities from organizations that are involved in managing urban drainage systems may complicate the use of new social sustainability metrics. Ultimately, it is suggested that an institution is created that can manage urban drainage systems using an integrative approach, to account for the benefits of social sustainability of urban drainage systems. These results can be used by authorities and decision-makers who work with urban drainage systems, to move towards methodologies that consider the benefits of social sustainability.","PeriodicalId":41346,"journal":{"name":"Revista Habitat Sustentable","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43236410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
