“…Since the beginning of the research, the components of Habitat for Humanity El Salvador have been attending a variety of training sessions in which they have expanded their knowledge both in the field of bioclimatic design and sustainable construction applied to the context of El Salvador and also in efficient on-site management and the EDGE certification program. Not only are technical and construction personnel trained but also the different components of the entity (administration, volunteers, human resources, accounting staff) with the aim of promoting this environmental awareness at all levels, as already launched by Díaz-López et al [15] and García-González et al [44].…”

“…A review of related research reveals that recent studies promote sustainability in the various areas of the built environment: in residential buildings, rural communities [14], schools [15], and other building uses. These studies lead to the readjustment of action strategies based on several alternatives, which are valued and weighted from the sustainability of resources, expenses, and user satisfaction, as stated by Mjörnell et al [16].…”

The global challenges regarding sustainability and the guarantee of minimum habitability requirements have led to the transformation of construction practices, where research has failed to achieve sufficient dissemination and findings. The purpose of this research is to promote sustainable and resilient patterns in construction in vulnerable neighbourhoods in emerging countries by disseminating techniques and mechanisms through in situ transfer workshops and by raising awareness of the environmental importance of construction. Regarding materials and methods, this paper contributes innovative insights by combining training workshops and awareness-raising sessions to promote both environmental education and sustainable and optimised habits in construction. These methods are applied and tested in a real case study in El Salvador. Subsequent to carrying out a multi-disciplinary assessment analysis, the outcomes and results have led to the design of prototypes that have obtained a global EDGE certificate on sustainable construction and efficient use of resources once the users’ testimonies, weaknesses, and strengths have been addressed. The conclusions indicate that families, volunteers, and technical workers need to be trained by promoting environmental awareness in social housing and establishing a plan for dissemination to communicate across universities and public and private institutions in order to replicate guidelines across American dry-corridor countries.

“…Schools have an average of 68% lot edge without trees. Therefore, greening offers multiple benefits for educational activities and close surroundings [37] . The lined trees amount to approximately 57,600 if planted one tree every 10 m on one side of the road and 58,200 trees if planted on both sides, where roads exceed 36 m in width.…”

“…A scenario that is difficult to realize [6]. The necessity of implementing passive bioclimatic systems in school buildings has been highlighted, thus increasing their ecological performance as well as their resilience to climate change [7]. So, bioclimatic design, using technologies and design principles based on a reflective focus on climate and the environment [8] introduces the term of bioclimatic or otherwise sustainable architecture, which aims to limit the uncontrolled heat exchange of buildings with their external environment.…”

Energy consumption in school buildings and improving their energy efficiency is an important research issue. This study aims to investigate the energy behaviour of school buildings in Greece, based on their date of construction and technical characteristics, before and after the implementation of various bioclimatic intervention scenarios on them and the subsequent estimation of their cost according to their typology. The method followed is the research and collection of data on the evolution of school buildings over time and their classification into three categories, to determine the most representative in regards to their time period and their technical characteristics. Based on this standardization, their energy situation is assessed with the program of TEE-KENAK and the implementation of the Technical Instructions TOTEE / 2017. Then, scenarios regarding bioclimatic passive interventions in the shell of the buildings and in their electromechanical installation are applied and their energy efficiency is investigated, which improves significantly, especially in older buildings, with a respective reduction in their energy consumption. Finally, the cost of these interventions is calculated, depending on the category of the building and the type of intervention.
