Full textEl objetivo principal de esta tesis es investigar la sostenibilidad energética en los países en desarrollo utilizando indicadores efectivos. Como es sabido, problemas como el calentamiento global y el consumo ineficiente de energía conducirán a serios problemas en el futuro del mundo y en particular en los países en desarrollo. Aquellos países que cuentan con políticas adecuadas y acciones efectivas por parte de los legisladores y expertos en energía pueden prevenir estos problemas con confianza. Por estas razones, la presente tesis se ha centrado en desarrollar indicadores que puedan medir el grado de sostenibilidad energética para lograr la sostenibilidad energética que los países analizaron. En este sentido, la tesis comienza a investigar el método del Índice de Desarrollo de Energía Sostenible (SEDI) y mejora este método al encontrar y evaluar los indicadores efectivos para mejorar y completar la metodología SEDI. En este sentido, se realizó un análisis numérico de 12 países. Siguiendo la metodología, se proponen nuevos indicadores asociados con la energía en línea con el Hábitat III y los ODS de la ONU. Además, se analizan las estrategias apropiadas para combinar los diferentes objetivos de las Naciones Unidas y se eligen los indicadores para proporcionar el mejor rendimiento del índice. Para esta investigación, es necesario analizar muchos datos relacionados y encontrar nuevos indicadores basados en estos datos que puedan ser obtenidos y aplicados por los formuladores de políticas y expertos en energía para su aplicación en los países en desarrollo debido al alto porcentaje del sector de consumo de energía en estas comunidades. Por lo tanto, los principales hallazgos de esta tesis son indicadores propuestos para mejorar la calidad de vida de los habitantes de diferentes áreas del mundo con respecto a los diferentes aspectos de la energía, como el acceso a la energía, la energía asequible y el ahorro de energía. Para alcanzar estos objetivos, se necesita corregir las políticas, la evaluación de la sostenibilidad energética basada en los sistemas energéticos de un país, la estrecha colaboración de los encargados de formular políticas con los expertos en energía, utilizando indicadores efectivos, el equilibrio del suministro de energía, la equidad en el acceso a sostenibilidad energética y ambiental de las zonas urbanas y remotas. Estas acciones conducirán a lograr la sostenibilidad energética con confianza.

Full textSustainable development and in particular sustainable urban development are now catchphrases for how most cities wish to develop. Sustainability indicators have been established as a tool to facilitate decision-making measures to simplify, clarify and gather information. The idea is that indicators should control and follow through sustainability efforts but also serve as a tool to communicate ideas, thoughts and values. The aim of this study is to describe how sustainability indicators can help to streamline sustainability efforts. By looking at how three Swedish municipality use indicators along with research in the theoretical field a conclusion that shows that there are major weaknesses in the systems applied today is presented. The research advocates a few indicators based on both qualitative and quantitative values where communication is central which completely goes against what the municipalities are doing at the moment. New indicator systems based on participation where the intended audience is primary would lead to a broader understanding of sustainability goals, which is a requisite for achieving them. Indicators could facilitate decision-making where the role of management and monitoring will be key along with communication towards sustainability. As a citizen it is difficult to influence or understand sustainability projects when they are not presented in an understandable way and when it is difficult to monitor development. In the end of the study a preliminary project on how an internal process in developing a new indicator system is presented.

Current standard practice in architecture does not take into account the external societal costs that a building creates. To understand the total consequences of a building, one must consider all of the ecological and human health factors involved for a specific project and site. The aim of sustainable architecture is to construct a well-designed building and site environment that is healthy for the occupants, has minimal undesirable impact upon the environment, is effective in the use of natural resources, and is economical and durable. Although tangible impacts are visible only after construction begins, decisions made on the drawing board have long-term environmental consequences. The objective of this thesis is to present the information and tools available to the architect to create a sustainable project. With these tools, the architect can meet the challenges of sustainable design with an informed decision making process. This thesis defines sustainability as it applies to architecture, compares environmental performance rating systems and guidelines, discusses simulation, design, and life cycle analysis tools, outlines specific green building strategies, devises a methodology for prioritization, and summarizes design and construction procedures that incorporate these green concepts into the building process. The thesis finishes with a complete project plan that, when incorporated, will promote the realization of sustainable buildings.

Abstract : Based on cosmologies and constellations within Legitimation Code Theory (LCT) interfaced with appraisal framework within Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), this research aims at analyzing sustainability knowledge management by Kraft Foods Company in their Annual Sustainability Report based on the meanings that their constellations convey. As conceptualized by Maton (in press) constellations refer to clusters of stances condensing social actors? practices, ideas and beliefs related to a given field of science. These clusters are the mechanism through which cosmologies are built. Through the lens of SFL, the hierarchy Individuation, situated in between the hierarchies of Instantiation and Realization, provides an open space for the activation of the LCT model, since in individuation, as Martin (2007, 2009) postulates, the central focus is on the language users rather than the language use. As regards the methodological framework, because of its interdisciplinary perspective, this research is split into two different stages: 1) the handling of the internal relations; 2) the handling of the external relations. These relations make up the overall procedures that enable the development of works on cosmologies. In stage (I), the handling of the former consists of clustering the company?s practices, beliefs and values in the form of stances through which Kraft?s constellations are identifiable. Thanks to the appraisal resources by Martin and White (2005), the inscriptions of the attitudinal subsystem and the grading resources, in particular, that identification is possible. Stage (II) discusses the constellations analysis regarding the external relations allowing for gauging the epistemological and axiological underpinnings in the investigated discourse, the means by which the type of knower is known. In this phase, the theoretical accounts of Maton?s (in press, 2013b, 2010a, 2010b, 2007, 2006, 2004) knowledge-knower structure interfaced with Bernstein?s concepts of the code theory are brought into play. The results have shown that by means of appreciation and graduation interplay within appraisal theory the majority of the stances in Kraft?scosmology are acknowledgeable within the reservoir of meanings of sustainability. By the same token, appreciation-graduation interplay has revealed that four of the stances identified in Kraft?s cosmology do not comply with the reservoir of meanings of sustainability, indicating that the ?grammar? power in Kraft?s cosmology is, in some sense, downplayed. Nevertheless, this is not to argue that the epistemic relations in Kraft?s knowledge structure become weak. In truth, they remain untouchable, since the only hierarchy individuated by Kraft?s company is the one of sustainability whereby the presence of the majority of the stances is justifiable. Therefore, the social actors in Kraft?s cosmology are the type of knowers who emphasize the specialist knowledge over the knowers? attributes and gaze from the view that in Kraft?s knowledge structure epistemic relations are strongly classified and social relations are weakly framed. Technically considered, this means that the company investigated is described under the knowledge code +ER (+C, + F); - SR (-C, -F), strong epistemic relations and weak social relations, thus indicating the company?s inclination towards the specialist knowledge.
No presente estudo, o viés interdisciplinar justifica-se pela conexão estabelecida entre o aspecto sociológico por intermédio do modelo 'Legitimation Code Theory' (LCT), especificamente referente às dimenensões das cosmologias e constelações, e da perspectiva linguística sistêmico-funcional através da teoria da avaliatividade. Esta tese tem como objetivo investigar de que forma a Multinacional ?Kraft Foods? lida com o conhecimento da sustentabilidade com base nos significados que suas constelações constroem. Maton (in press) define constelações os grupos das ideias, crenças, e valores que refletem as práticas de atores sociais em um específico tempo e espaço em uma dada cosmologia. 'Cosmologia', por conseguinte, consiste em uma configuração de ideáis que caracteriza as práticas socioculturais desses atores atrelados a um dado campo da ciência. No que concerne à perspectiva da linguística sistêmico-funcional, a hierarquia Individuação, localizada entre as dimensões Instanciação e Realização, possibilita a ativação dos recursos da LCT, haja vista ser a individução âmibito de proliferção das ideologias em que se privilegia o repertório do falante. No tocante aos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos, a presente pesquisa alicerça-se em duas fases distintas:1) manuseio das relações internas; 2) manuseio das relações externas. Tais relações compreendem os procedimentos sobre os quais trabalhos desenvolvidos sob a ótica ?cosmologia? são viavéis. No estágio (I), acontence o manuseio das relações internas, o que significa que os recursos linguísticos contidos nos subsistemas de Atitude e Gradação dentro da teoria da avaliatividade (Martin & White, 2005) são ativados a fim de identificar as unidades de significados constituídas a partir da configuração de ideias, práticas, valores e crenças dos atores sociais referente ao reservatório de significados da sustentabilidade. A fase (II) compreende a análise das constelações, ocasião em que as relacões externas são tratadas de modo que se mensure o sustentáculo epistemológico e axiológico existente na cosmologia investigada. Nesta fase, os postulados de Maton ( in press, 2013b, 2010a, 2010b, 2007, 2006, 2004 ) sobre a estrutura do conhecimento e conhecedor, emanada das concepões de Bernstein acerca da estruturação e transmissão do conhecimento, são explorados a fim de caracterizar o tipo de conhecedor exitente na cosmologa em questão. Dos resultados obtidos, evidenciou-se que o intercâmbio entre Apreciação, uma das três dimensões de Atitude, e Gradação propiciou o reconhecimento da maioria das unidades significativas pertencentes ao reservatório designificados da sustentabilidade. Outrossim, percebeu-se que os mesmos recursos linguísticos corroboraram a descorbeta de que há quatro unidades significativas desvínculadas do campo da sustentabilidade, o que sugere uma diminuição do poder da ?gramática? na cosmologia sob análise.É importante salientar que, no cenário desta investigação, a diminuição do poder da gramática não implica no enfraquecimento da hierarquia (episteme), uma vez que os referentes epistêmicos no disurso analisado são integralmente explorados pela multinacional em questão. Ademais, a hierárquia da sustentabilidade é a única base científica evidenciada no discurso sobre o qual a existência da maioria dos referentes e descrições empíricas (unidades significativas) é justificável. Por fim, os referentes epistêmicos são fortemente 'classificados' enquanto que as relações sociais- os atributos dos atores sociais em relaçao ao campo do conhecimento proposto - são fracamente ?enquadrados?, fato que caracteriza os atores socias sob os códigos +ER (+C, +F) e - SR (-C, -F), fortes relaçoes epistêmicas e fracas relações sociais. Tecnicamente, esses códigos indicam que na cosmologia investigada os atores sociais são os tipos de conhecedores que sobrepõem os pressupostos teóricos às suas relaçoes sociais com o objeto invesitgado.
