Assessing the nearly zero-energy building gap in university campuses with a feature extraction methodology applied to a case study in Spain
Medrano Martorell, Marc; Martí, Josep Maria; Rincón, Lídia; Mor Martínez, Gerard; Cipriano, Jordi; Farid, Mohammed M. (Springer, 2018-02-11)Public universities face the challenge of retrofitting the actual campus buildings into nearly zero-energy buildings (NZEB). In this study, a novel methodology for evaluating historical energy use and renewable energy ... -
Behaviour of green facades in Mediterranean Continental climate
Pérez Luque, Gabriel; Rincón, Lídia; González, J. M.; Cabeza, Luisa F. (Elsevier, 2011)In order to obtain data on the behaviour of green facades in buildings as a passive system for energy savings in dry Mediterranean Continental climate a long-term work has been performed. This paper presents the first ... -
Environmental performance of recycled rubber as drainage layer in extensive green roofs. A comparative Life Cycle Assessment
Rincón, Lídia; Coma Arpón, Julià; Pérez Luque, Gabriel; Castell, Albert; Boer, Dieter; Cabeza, Luisa F. (Elsevier, 2014)Using recycled rubber crumbs as drainage layer in extensive green roofs have high potential to reduce the heating and cooling loads in buildings over traditional materials used as drainage layer, such as pozzolana gravel. ... -
Evaluation of the environmental impact of experimental buildings with different constructive systems using Material Flow Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment
Rincón, Lídia; Castell, Albert; Pérez Luque, Gabriel; Solé Cutrona, Cristian; Boer, Dieter; Cabeza, Luisa F. (Elsevier, 2013)Sustainability of building construction systems depends on their material and energy consumption, and the consequent environmental impact. Thus, the evaluation of their sustainability requires a wide analysis that includes ... -
Green vertical systems for buildings as passive systems for energy savings
Pérez Luque, Gabriel; Rincón, Lídia; Vila, Anna; González, J. M.; Cabeza, Luisa F. (Elsevier, 2011)This paper presents a classification of green vertical systems for buildings. The aim of this classification is to facilitate the identification and differentiation between systems. This classification is also essential ... -
Improving thermal comfort of earthen dwellings in sub-Saharan Africa with passive design
Rincón, Lídia; Carrobé, Ariadna; Martorell, Ingrid; Medrano Martorell, Marc (2019-03-01)Earthen architecture historically has been widely used for wall construction around the world, particularly in developing countries. Most of the earthen dwellings in Burkina Faso are built traditionally with adobe walls. ... -
Life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle energy analysis (LCEA) of buildings and the building sector: A review
Cabeza, Luisa F.; Rincón, Lídia; Vilariño, Virginia; Pérez Luque, Gabriel; Castell, Albert (Elsevier, 2014)This review summarizes and organizes the literature on life cycle assessment (LCA), life cycle energy analysis (LCEA) and life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) studies carried out for environmental evaluation of buildings and ... -
Life Cycle Assessment of alveolar brick construction system incorporating phase change materials (PCMs)
Castell, Albert; Menoufi, Karim Ali Ibrahim; Gracia Cuesta, Alvaro de; Rincón, Lídia; Boer, Dieter; Cabeza, Luisa F. (Elsevier, 2013)An evaluation of the environmental impact of construction systems that are composed of facades based on alveolar bricks and macroencapsulated phase change materials done using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is presented. ... -
Life Cycle Assessment of the inclusion of phase change materials (PCM) in experimental buildings
Gracia Cuesta, Alvaro de; Castell, Albert; Jiménez, Melanie; Boer, Dieter; Medrano Martorell, Marc; Cabeza, Luisa F.; Rincón, Lídia (Elsevier, 2010)The present work evaluates the environmental impact of including phase change materials (PCM) in a typical Mediterranean building. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is developed for three monitored cubicles built in Puigverd ... -
Optimization of three new compositions of stabilized rammed earth incorporating PCM: thermal properties characterization and LCA
Serrano, Susana; Barreneche Güerisoli, Camila; Rincón, Lídia; Boer, Dieter; Cabeza, Luisa F. (Elsevier, 2013)The development of a new stabilised rammed earth (SRE) with improved thermal properties is the main objective of this research.

Serrano, Susana; Rincón, Lídia; González, Belen; Navarro Ezquerra, Antonia; Bosch, Montserrat; Cabeza, Luisa F. (Oxford University Press, 2017)Rammed earth is considered a very sustainable construction system due to its low embodied energy, long service life and high recyclability. However, authors found that there is a lack of experimental results at real scale ... -
Service life of the dwelling stock in Spain
Rincón, Lídia; Pérez Luque, Gabriel; Cabeza, Luisa F.
