Visual tool for sustainable buildings: A design approach with various data visualisation techniques KU Leuven
Dynamic Versus Static Life Cycle Assessment of Energy Renovation for Residential Buildings KU Leuven
Currently, a life cycle assessment is mostly used in a static way to assess the environmental impacts of the energy renovation of buildings. However, various aspects of energy renovation vary in time. This paper reports the development of a framework for a dynamic life cycle assessment and its application to assess the energy renovation of buildings. To investigate whether a dynamic approach leads to different decisions than a static approach, ...

Participatory Process for Land Readjustment as a Strategy to Gain the Right to Territory: The Case of San Jose-Samborondón–Guayaquil KU Leuven
Urban development in Latin America in the last decades is the result of the formal and informal processes of land occupation. As the largest city and main port of Ecuador, Guayaquil is no exception and as a case study, offers new insights into the dynamics of these processes. This city’s metropolitan expansion has exceeded its natural geographic limits (e.g. hills, rivers, estuaries), resulting in segregated populations and a fragmented urban ...
Affordable Habitat - The Development Of Housing And Neighbourhood Simulation Models KU Leuven
The demand for new housing and the improvement of the urban environment of the existing ones, for low-income sectors of the population, are some of the most essential needs to be covered regarding the urban and social development of Latin America cities. Guayaquil is no exception, and the existence of vast sectors of peripheral informal settlements such as Monte Sinahí is proof of this. The answer to this problem is complex and the present ...
Bioclimatic Prosthesis: Experimental dataset for a low-cost Trombe wall to existing social housing refurbishment for an intermediate valley (Chillan) city in the south of Chile KU Leuven
This dataset is part of the article entitled "Design and experimental study of a low-cost prefab Trombe Wall to improve indoor temperatures in social housing in the Biobío Region in Chile" [1], [2]. The dataset represents the outcome of experimental measurements during a 1-year monitoring campaign to assess the performance of an adaptable and low-cost prefabricated Trombe Wall (TW) with a vertical water storage system. The experiments include ...
