The United Nations proposes to ensure a sustainable future for all through the Sustainable Development Goals, assigning new role each individual in sectors of society. Higher Education Institutions are outstanding agents change, introducing and implementing sustainability holistic way, connecting people, including social institutional considerations, with students being key component change. This study presents co-creation model incorporate Institutions, integrating members university...
Eco-design is focused on incorporating environmental criteria early in the design process to reduce impacts of new products. However, while services now represent largest share world’s economy, incorporation sustainability very limited. This research proposes ECO-Service Design (ECO-SD) method that integrates eco-design and service conceptualize environmentally sustainable services. The ECO-SD bridges from with human-centred approach design, foster services, offering a desirable user...
This research develops a bottom-up procedure to assess the potential of food-energy-water (FEW) systems on rooftops buildings in an urban district Spain considering morphology built environment and obtains accurate assessments production developmental patterns. A multicriteria decision-making technique implemented geographical information system (GIS) was used extract suitable rooftop areas. To implement this method, slope (tilt), aspect (azimuth), shading, solar radiation were calculated...
The external resource dependency of urban areas results in the externalization environmental and socioeconomic impacts. Implementing food, energy water production systems on rooftops (roof mosaics) can potentially help cities become more self-sufficient but depends city's morphology. We studied supply potential impacts four roof mosaic scenarios for different forms Cerdanyola, a 58 thousand-inhabitant town metropolitan area Barcelona. combined spatial analysis rooftops, metabolism analysis,...
The concentration of the population in cities has turned them into sources environmental pollution, however, have a great potential for generating clean energy through renewable such as responsible use solar that reaches its rooftops. This work proposes methodology to estimate level self-sufficiency urban areas, particularly district city Zaragoza (Spain). First, Energy Self-Sufficiency Urban Module concept (ESSUM) is defined, then capacity or determined using Geographical Information...
Abstract Purpose Decarbonizing cities is one of today’s biggest challenges. In this regard, particular attention has been paid on improving the environmental performance buildings. framework, work consists in assessing impact an innovative building envelope component derived from urban agriculture (UA) wastes. fact, rooftop UA seems to be a possible solution rising food demand due increasing demographic growth. Consequently, wastes need treated sustainable ways. Methods This study aims...
Background: Patients with cancer often have to make complex decisions about treatment, the options varying in risk profiles and effects on survival quality of life. Moreover, inefficient care paths it hard for patients participate shared decision-making. Data-driven decision-support tools potential empower patients, support personalized care, improve health outcomes promote equity. However, currently seldom consider life or individual preferences, their use clinical practice remains limited,...
The COVID-19 crisis has changed daily habits and the time that people spend at home. It is expected this change may have environmental implications because of buildings’ heating energy demand. This paper studies implications, from a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach, due to these new in residential buildings their current level thermal insulation, different scenarios retrofit envelope. study building-to-building approach by using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for housing stock...
Wood is increasingly being appreciated in construction due to its valuable environmental attributes. This paper explores the and market performance of two wood supply chains Northern Italy. Larch chestnut are extracted processed obtain beams, planks, MDF panels energy. LCA performed evaluate impacts 1m
Considering that urban agriculture (UA) is currently on the rise due to its multiple benefits in addition environmental ones, it would also be necessary foresee flow of solid waste generates, which if not properly managed or used, could become a new problem within cities. The main objective this study take advantage agro-urban (AUSW) from perspective Circular economy (CE) order to, reducing volume AUSW cities, close life cycle UA allowing continue with benefits. Starting previous...
The retrofitting of less energy efficient building stock represents one the most significant challenges in transition to a low-carbon economy.Nowadays, housing sector about 40% consumption European Union.In this regard, level insulation installed buildings is directly related efficiency building, and consequently urban area.In addition, several studies have shown that comprehensive perspective needed, together with calculating importance introducing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)...
Investment in the productive systems of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) manufacturing sector is usually quite limited. For this reason, normal practice to apply minor developments internally or upgrade equipment as it becomes obsolete increase their capacity competitiveness at a lower cost. However, work team, mostly made up engineers, does not have experience use design methodologies but also they are often familiar with functioning various quality-management tools. This paper...
