OFFER DESCRIPTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This PhD focuses on studying the impact of introducing innovative circular materials and components in new fa\u00e7ade systems which can be used to retrofit existing buildings, in accordance with the framework of the ACTAREBUILD EU – DN – project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional materials and building systems often result in unnecessary energy waste and poor comfort and acoustic conditions among other issues. Improved circular materials and components can be excellent alternatives: besides the inherent sustainability characteristic due to its availability and easy recycling, they can improve other characteristics such energy, thermal, acoustic, comfort or even safety performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PhD will look for enhanced thermal, energy, comfort, acoustic and safety performance, with emphasis in energy performance. Additionally, it will also consider the potential impact concerning the aesthetic modification of a refurbished building. Lastly, based on its own results and on existing literature, it will also study the possibility\/need to extend and adapt existing building standards so as to include such innovative fa\u00e7ade systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The energy conservation in buildings should be evaluated by the thermal transfer from both sides of the building envelope. Many existing indicators analyze this transfer by contact mechanisms, but one of the most relevant energy transfer mechanism is based on studying the convection of air through the building envelope, which is known as infiltration and is directly related to the leakage of the conditioning inner space. This is one of the measurement methods which will be used to evaluate energy performance. Other measurement methods will be developed during the study. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
