Bringing nature to the economic paradigm: a set of tools for the assessment and quantification of environmental externalities in Spain, EU27 and beyond
Tesis doctoral que aborda las externalidades medioambientales negativas como elemento a integrar dentro del paradigma económico, ofreciendo cuatro estudios interconectados sobre la inclusión de dichas externalidades en distintos contextos socioeconómicos, utilizando metodologías tanto cuantitativas como cualitativas.
La tesis doctoral parte de la premisa de que nos encontramos en un momento fundamental en lucha contra el cambio climático, en el cual las políticas públicas de reducción de emisiones y transición a la neutralidad climática en Europa deben dar un salto cualitativo para contener los efectos más adversos del cambio climático

Influence of the methodology for evaluating energy performance of buildings over the energy needed for cooling
The need to reduce energy bills and the need for protection for the user has made the government of Spain develop new regulations that reinforce thermal isolation requirements. The adopted methodology for evaluating energy performance in buildings is based on informatics tools, where it is difficult to check the measures for improving energy efficiency work. The objective of this paper is to compare the current methodology for evaluating energy needed for cooling in Spain with the methodologies of some European countries. The research is based on applying those methodologies over a case study conducted on the Mediterranean coast of Spain (warm conditions), applying different U-limits and evaluating the obtained energy needed for cooling from each method. The results show that improving constructive solutions and increasing thermal isolation thickness in some cases do not offer the expected results as the energy needed for cooling raises especially in methodologies belonging to cold countries
The controversies between Jacobo Fratín and Vespasian Gonzaga on the project of the citadel of Pamplona in the late sixteenth century
The design and construction of the citadel of Pamplona required the delineation of numerous drawings by the most prestigious military engineers of the time. After the initial draft, prepared by Jacobo Palear Fratín in 1571, numerous disputes about technical aspects of the design of citadels happened between the different schools and family sagas. The search for the perfect machine of defence and the solution of the conflict between the different design opinions, forced to develop an increasingly accurate maps. Through this graphic documentation, the Council of War could take appropriate decisions in the distance, always under the paradigm of the citadel of Antwerp. The existing intimate relationship between written discourse and the image discourse in each project makes possible to reconstruct the history of the building
