Sustainable architecture evaluates the environmental impact of all processes of a project. From the extraction of raw materials, through construction techniques, the location of the building in the urban and natural environment, its energy efficiency, and concluding with recycling and demolition.

Augmented reality (AR) consists of a set of technological devices through which a part of the real world is visualized with virtually added information. That is, virtual elements such as graphics or information in various formats are added to the environment that is viewed in real time.

Digital transformation has arrived in construction with multiple tools that represent a definitive change for the sector. Among them, we find augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications.

Digitizing a project is a necessity for those looking to reduce time and costs in a construction. The BIM methodology is a win-win for all parties involved, helping all professionals who work in it and increasing their satisfaction.

The Energy Efficiency Directive for Buildings is one of the major challenges that contemporary society faces. The so-called Nearly Zero Energy Buildings, also known as NZEBs, aim to meet a series of energy-efficient objectives based on a pre-set calendar date. Buildings committed to the environment increase the comfort and quality of life for their occupants based on minimal energy costs and modest additional costs. However, engineers, architects, and builders face a new challenge to utilize precisely energy efficiency, in addition to...

In the last two decades, materials and construction quality have been gaining significant value. This translates into savings in future costs, both in maintenance and preservation, as well as energy savings.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is part of our reality. A fresh and current development stage that is taking the form of significant changes that actively and beneficially affect our life and health.

A large part of the CO2 emissions that end up in the atmosphere are generated by the construction sector. Thus, new architectural projects are emerging strongly, developing a type of efficient architecture that neutralizes or reduces its concentration.

When talking about ecological houses, it is common to think that they are more expensive to build. To what extent is this statement true or false?
