Energetic Characterization of Building Evolution
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-21597-1 (ISBN)
This book analyses the evolution of the construction systems and the required materials in Ecuador from 1980 to 2020, from different perspectives including environmental, economic, thermal behaviour, modulation design, and integrity of construction. It focuses on the relationship between energy and the evolution of construction in the Andean region of Ecuador. The theoretical framework of the book shows the extent of quantitative data collected from several sources and experimental data from studies carried out in local buildings. It gives a heritage-environmental perspective of building materials from Cuenca city, which has received the nomination of Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This book will help construction industry professionals, architects, and designers to make sustainable decisions for future construction, focused on different components of a building. Readers can extract a set of guidelines aimed at solving thermal, environmental, aesthetic, and even heritage issues of the construction sector of this region, from the specific perspective of building materials.
Jefferson Eloy Torres Quezada has a doctorate in architecture and graduated from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), obtaining the Cum Laude mention and the international doctorate. He has collaborated as Assistant Professor of the Official MBArch Master Program of the UPC, and as a researcher of the AiEM group since 2015 in Barcelona. He is currently a teacher-researcher at the Catholic University of Cuenca. He registers several scientific articles (Q1-Q4) and participation in different international congresses as an exhibitor. He is the winner of the Extraordinary Prize of DOCTORAL THESIS of the UPC in 2019, and Principal Investigator of the Catholic University of Cuenca. In addition, he has made an international stay at Keio University in Tokyo-Japan, where he was part of the research laboratory of the School of Science and Technology. His research has focused on the energy efficiency of buildings, and sustainable urban and architectural design. As an architect he has participated in different projects of a public and private nature, acquiring experience both in the field of design and construction since 2010.
