- Potential strategies offered by animals to implement in buildings' energy performance: theory and practice(2019) Baquero-Martin, E. (Enrique); Sanz, C. (Cristina); Martín-Gómez, C. (César); Miranda-Ferreiro, R. (Rafael); Bermejo-Busto, J. (Javier); Zuazua-Ros, A. (Amaia)The strategies for thermal regulation and environmental control found in nature are countless. In this article, a parallelism between animals and building energy systems is defined in order to identify and emphasize the immediate opportunities that biomimicry offers for future research. The motivation was the need to find alternative solutions to tackle problems mainly in the efficiency of heating, ventilation and cooling systems. Due to the wide range of possibilities offered by animals, this study is largely limited to the strategies that cold-blooded animals have developed through evolutionary adaptation to the environment. The method used for the analysis is based on a solution-based approach. Firstly, different animal thermoregulation strategies are defined (biological domain). Then the strategy is analyzed and classified into three categories. This classification is essential in order to formulate the parallelism with building systems (transfer phase). The final step is to identify the potential implementation (technological domain). This approach has been seen to be useful in creating new research opportunities based on biomimicry. In addition, suitable solutions arising from multidisciplinary team research are presented as promising answers to the challenges that building energy systems face nowadays.
- An active mode of learning: students collaboration in a research project on masonry mortar(Instituto Politécnico de Portalegre, Portugal, International congress on education, innovation and learning technologies, 2014-07-23) Sanz, C. (Cristina); Ramos-Ruiz, G. (Germán); Pellicer-Daviña, D. (Domingo); González-Martinez, P. (Purificación)During the 2012-2013 academic year, a practical work was proposed to the students of the fourth year of the School of Architecture of the University of Navarre (ETSAUN), in the Building Construction IV subject of the Building Construction, Services and Structures Department (CIE), in the context of implicating students in academic activities, specifically designed to allow them to improve essential capabilities and abilities required for their future professional exercise.
- Optimizing headspace temperature and time sampling for identification of volatile compounds in ground roasted Arabica coffee(American Chemical Society, 2001) Ansorena-Artieda, D. (Diana); Cid, C. (Concepción); Sanz, C. (Cristina); Bello, J. (José)Equilibration time and temperature were the factors studied to choose the best conditions for analyzing volatiles in roasted ground Arabica coffee by a static headspace sampling extraction method. Three temperatures of equilibration were studied: 60, 80, and 90 degrees C. A larger quantity of volatile compounds was extracted at 90 degrees C than at 80 or 60 degrees C, although the same qualitative profile was found for each. The extraction of the volatile compounds was studied at seven different equilibration times: 30, 45, 60, 80, 100, 120, and 150 min. The best time of equilibration for headspace analysis of roasted ground Arabica coffee should be selected depending on the chemical class or compound studied. One hundred and twenty-two volatile compounds were identified, including 26 furans, 20 ketones, 20 pyrazines, 9 alcohols, 9 aldehydes, 8 esters, 6 pyrroles, 6 thiophenes, 4 sulfur compounds, 3 benzenic compounds, 2 phenolic compounds, 2 pyridines, 2 thiazoles, 1 oxazole, 1 lactone, 1 alkane, 1 alkene, and 1 acid.
- Aplicación de un modelo Lean-BIM para la mejora de la productividad en redacción de proyectos de edificación(Editorial CSIC, 2019) Latorre-Uriz, A. (A.); Sanz, C. (Cristina); Sanchez, B. (Belén)El presente trabajo propone un modelo para la mejora del rendimiento de la redacción de proyectos de edificación en BIM. La productividad del sector de la construcción es una materia que preocupa y genera debates acerca del modelo de producción adecuado para mejorar su rendimiento. Si se compara el nivel de productividad de la construcción con otros sectores, tales como la industria o el automóvil, resulta bajo, y la evolución de los últimos años evidencia un incremento de esta diferencia.Se presenta un modelo que combina el uso de la filosofía Lean mediante la aplicación de Lean Construction, y la metodo-logía BIM, fruto de una revisión bibliográfica y la investigación realizada por los autores. El modelo se testa en 6 casos de estudios, para posteriormente ser validado mediante técnicas cualitativas y cuantitativas.
