“…These periods correspond to a reduction in their roof thermal transmittances from 3.08, 1.67, 1.61, 0.56 to 0.45 W/m 2 K, respectively. The research undertaken by Braulio [11] characterized the building thermal envelope of building stock in the Mediterranean climate over a similar time interval. The results show that thermal envelopes can be characterized depending on year of construction due to regulations on thermal conditions at the time and the use of standard constructive systems.…”

The aging of the building stock in most cities highlights the relevance of refurbishment to achieve sustainability. Current refurbishment practices are often short-sighted and do not encompass holistic strategies beyond energy saving. This research study aims to analyze the factors involved in roof refurbishment versus current decision-making determinants. The objective is to identify the barriers that hinder their implementation and to find arguments to support roof renovations. A multicriteria analysis, which considered environmental, economic and performance factors, was employed to select optimal roof refurbishment solutions. This study evaluated five solutions. With interviews held with construction professionals and a survey of experts and homeowners, the preferences and criteria for making decisions about roof refurbishments were analyzed. Simulation tools were then used to estimate the energy savings, payback periods and environmental impact for a representative building in the study area. The results were extrapolated to a neighborhood level. The results highlight the importance of considering factors, such as weight, cost and user preferences when selecting suitable refurbishment solutions. The findings not only estimate the potential energy savings and carbon emission reductions in the area but also underscore the relevance of roof refurbishments for prolonging a building’s life span to contribute to sustainability.

“…As summarized by Braulio [13], three periods can be differentiated in Spain according to the construction solutions employed in roofs. Buildings constructed before 1940 generally used timber beams and wattle suspended ceilings in sloping roofs, with Catalan-style ventilated systems on flat roofs.…”

“…The implementation of solar panels (SP) will depend on the roof area and orientation, as well as on its location in the urban area. In the study area, the proper solar orientation is southern or slightly southeastern [13]. Northern-oriented roofs would not be suitable for this solution or these roofs are surrounded by solar obstacles like taller buildings.…”

Contribution of Roof Refurbishment to Urban Sustainability

Achieving sustainable urban environments is a challenging goal—especially in existing cities with high percentages of old and obsolete buildings. This work analyzes the contribution of roof refurbishment to sustainability, considering that most roofs are currently underused. Many potential benefits of refurbishment can be achieved, such as the improvement of the energy performance of the buildings and the use of a wasted space for increasing green areas or for social purposes. In order to estimate the degree of the improvement, a vulnerable area in Castellón (east Spain) was selected as a case study. A thorough analysis of the residential building stock was undertaken. Using georeferenced information from the Cadastral Office we classified them according to typology, year of construction and roof type. Some refurbishment solutions were proposed and their applicability to the actual buildings was analyzed under different criteria. The theoretical benefits obtained in the neighborhood such as energy and carbon emissions savings were evaluated, together with the increase of green areas. Moreover, other social uses were suggested for neglected urban spaces in the area. Finally, a more accurate analysis was performed combining different solutions in a specific building, according to its particular characteristics.

“…El Plan General de Ordenación Urbana PGOU del año 2000 introdujo grandes actuaciones urbanísticas relacionadas con el uso residencial, tal y como se muestra en la Figura 5.6. En 2008 se presentó otro PGOU, que no llegó a aprobarse (Braulio Gonzalo, 2016). En el momento actual, Castelló de la Plana ha aprobado en diciembre de 2021 un nuevo PGOU.…”

Nowadays, ageing has become a problem in many countries due to difficulties in accessing public spaces, especially in the most vulnerable areas. This challenge must be overcome through the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, through the eleventh goal of the SDG of the 2030 Agenda: "Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable."The main objective of this work is to design a model for assessing the vulnerability in public urban space that focuses on the needs of older people to promote their inclusion, based on a case study about vulnerable urban area. The model is based on assessment indicators, and considers different dimensions and areas, to include urban, architectural, economic and social issues. The model was applied to the study area located in the Central Administrative District of the municipality of Castelló de la Plana, specifically in census sections 5005 and 5013. The application of the model to the area of study has allowed the evaluation of vulnerability indicators in the public space with the aim of favoring the inclusion of elders. Partial indices are calculated by dimensions and areas, as well as a global index, which considers all of themholistically. This model can help make urban planning decisions for sustainable cities towards older-friendly cities and, in the future, can serve as a reference for all municipalities to plan their cities sustainably.
