Sustainability Assessment of Household Waste Based Solar Control Devices for Workshops in Primary Schools

Sustainability, Volume 10, Issue 11

Oriol Pons, Saeid Habibi, Diana Peña

Sustainability Assessment of Household Waste Based Solar Control Devices for Workshops in Primary SchoolsPart of the large amounts of waste generated by human activities could have a second use while solving social problems. In this sense, the authors are carrying out a research project involving the participative development of innovative solar control devices integrated into school architecture using household waste. In general, the objectives of this research project are to: (a) optimize pupils’ learning process by improving lighting and thermal comfort levels and (b) reduce the generation of Spanish household waste by reusing part of it and increase the teaching community’s awareness about this waste. This research article reports on the steps taken to achieve these objectives by characterizing the most sustainable types of the waste-based solar control device. In this sense, this research paper defines and applies a new methodology which combines General Morphology Analysis (GMA), a new tool based on The Integrated Value Model for Sustainable Assessment and Focus groups. First, up to 96 different types of solar control devices composed of household waste have been defined using GMA and, second, these 96 types and conventional roller shutters have been assessed using this new tool. Based on these article results, one of the best alternatives has been prototyped during an initial workshop.

Evaluation of household waste materials for façade components in primary educational workshops. Mechanical and fire properties

Journal of Building Engineering, Volume 29, May 2020, 101202

Oriol Pons, Tobias Abt

Highlights

•This paper studies household waste façades by carrying out mechanical and fire tests.

•Household waste materials have similar properties to construction plastic materials.

•This study determines Tetra Pak unreported until now mechanical and fire properties.

•Tetra pack has particularly interesting properties which had been largely unexplored.

•Household waste façades implementation will be defined in further studies.
