Earth-based construction materials are easy to obtain, abundant in nature, and their use minimizes environmental impacts and improves the thermal performance of bricks.

It is experimentally determined that cement percentages are between 3% and 9% for the manufacturing of CSEB for non-bearing masonry. The moisture content should be less than 20%, to avoid significant increases in thermal conductivity. Wall thermal resistivity and inner and outer thermal resistance are also determined by means of passive building thermography measurements. The different CSEB wall compositions of experimental dwellings under real use conditions were monitored during the winter, and from this, thermal transmittances were established for the walls of 1,219 W/m2K to 1.599 W/m2K The results obtained allow determining the relative efficiency of each building envelope type in avoiding heat losses.","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":"45526377","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}

At the School of Architecture of Seville, there is a great research tradition on sustainability, but little is extrapolated into teaching. There is also a need for a significant improvement in education from the methodological point of view. In this sense, competitions provide an opportunity that defines a potentially rewarding situation for educational innovation. From this starting point, this research aims at verifying how the construction of a full-scale prototype, as an active educational methodological strategy and following a bioclimatic design methodology consolidated in said School of Architecture, allows achieving great results both in educational and bioclimatic terms. The educational methodology brings together the following guidelines: the workshop as an integrating environment for architectural learning; the construction of a prototype as an educational situation that transcends the architectural; the conceptualization of new challenges marked by sustainability and their practical and effective application to the architectural project, design, and architectural construction. All the tools are valuable and effectively respond to shortcomings detected and internalized in teaching-learning, and, consequently, architectural activities.","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":"42424640","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}

Both a high comfort level and energy savings represent two objectives to be achieved. In this sense, this paper proposes a new methodology that combines onsite measurement with mathematical simulation tools. Innovative techniques and models are incorporated to make the tool, applying thermal-energy multi-objective optimization, which operates dynamically during working hours.

In this framework, 52 articles indexed between 2017 and 2021 in the Scopus database were reviewed. The results revealed that, by employing ceramsite sludge as an aggregate, a density of 1,251 kg/m3 can be obtained and, with expanded clay aggregates, compressive strengths from 17.7 to 66.1 MPa can be obtained. In conclusion, it was determined that the use of lightweight materials in concrete production can reduce its density, in addition to contributing to the reduction of environmental damage.","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":"42823899","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}
