Visiting Simed
Last Friday we visited the opening day of the SIMED 14th Mediterranean Real Estate Exhibition. This year our College of Architects of Malaga has had its stand with a totally sustainable proposal since it has been manufactured with recycled panels and structure. We support this initiative that must be an indispensable premise in our professional practice.
We have come with great interest to the First PASSIVHAUS Conference on the Costa del Sol and with great interest we have exchanged opinions in the Round Table on the FUTURE OF SUSTAINABILITY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN BUILDING
It has been a privilege to meet Adelina Uriarte, President of the Spanish Platform Passivhouse Spain.
Bioclimatic Architecture: Concepts and techniques
The bioclimatic architecture consists of the design of buildings taking into account the climatic conditions, taking advantage of the available resources (sun, vegetation, rain, winds) to reduce environmental impacts, trying to reduce energy consumption.
Solar trajectory
Being the sun the main energetic source that affects the bioclimatic design, it is important to have an idea of its trajectory in the different seasons of the year.
As is known, the existence of the stations is motivated because the axis of rotation of the earth is not always perpendicular to the plane of its trajectory of translation with respect to the sun, but it forms a variable angle depending on the time of the year in which we find ourselves.
