Improving Energy Performance of Historic Buildings through Hygrothermal Assessment of the Envelope
(MDPI, 2021-09-15)
The intervention on historic buildings through building energy retrofitting has become one of the current challenges of improving energy efficiency. Nonetheless, this building typology presents certain complexities. Among ...
Five Years (2014–2018) of Beta Activity Concentration and the Impact of Synoptic and Local Meteorological Conditions in Bilbao (Northern Spain)
(MDPI, 2021-10-10)
The aim of this paper is to statistically characterize gross beta activity concentrations in ground-level air in Bilbao (northern Spain) by analysing five years (2014–2018) worth of weekly measurements in aerosols collected ...
Evaluation of the theoretical, technical and economic potential of industrial waste heat recovery in the Basque Country
(Esevier, 2021-08-20)
Industrial waste heat recovery shows significant potential for increasing energy efficiency in industry. However, to design strategies that exploit this potential, it is necessary to have data about the quantity and ...

El objetivo de esta Tesis es el estudio de la distribución de la tasa de dosis dentro y fuera de un submarino de propulsión nuclear, considerando diferentes parámetros de influencia como son el término fuente considerado, ...
Accounting for homeowners? decisions to insulate: A discrete choice model approach in Spain
(Elsevier, 2022-10)
This paper assesses Spanish households' willingness to thermally insulate their homes and the drivers that influence such a decision-making process. Stated preference data were collected through a discrete choice experiment ...
INSPECT: In Situ Probe SEleCtion Tool
(2021-12-13)
As a result of the INSIDER European project (Improved Nuclear SIte characterisation for waste minimisation in Decommissioning and Dismantling operations under constrained EnviRonment), two D&D tools were developed: INSPECT ...
Control methodologies of energy performance certificates. Data quality assessment in the Basque Country and learning from experience to make improvements
(2021-07-22)
The EPBDs required Member States (MSs) to establish an independent control system for the EPC. The Basque Country has its own system. The Laboratory for the Quality Control in Buildings (LCCE- for its acronym in Spanish) ...
Experimental and numerical determination of the optimum configuration of a parabolic wave extinction system for flumes
(Elsevier, 2021-10-15)
[EN]In this work the phenomenon of the wave reflection has been studied using a self-developed passive extinction system. Twenty one type of waves were generated in the laboratory using a piston-type wave maker. The variation ...
Methodology to Determine Energy Efficiency Strategies in Buildings Sited in Tropical Climatic Zones; Case Study, Buildings of the Tertiary Sector in the Dominican Republic
(MDPI, 2022)
The application of energy-efficiency strategies in buildings is a hot topic around the world; in some countries, there are regulations with more or less degree of compliance, but in most countries located in the tropical ...
Analysis of the Embodied Energy and CO2 Emissions of Ready-Mixed Concrete: A Case Study in Cuenca, Ecuador
(MDPI, 2022)
Concrete is the most commonly construction material used worldwide. In contrast to other countries, Ecuador lacks studies that determine the environmental impact of the production of construction materials. This research ...
