“…Many publications studied the new measures to incorporate them into university buildings and how these could affect in the energy costs of local authorities. Trying to achieve this goal of energy sustainability, governments have included new policies to improve both energy saving and renewable energy; for example, the inclusion of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in indoor lighting instead of the old incandescent bulbs [28]. Not only lighting has been studied during the last 15 years; some studies focused their research on all kinds of energetic items and especially new renewable ways of energy, and their consumption was compared to the previously used items in the buildings [29].…”

Abstract:The present study details the significant contribution that different international institutions have made to the field of sustainability and energy efficiency, with a focus on public buildings. This has been achieved by making use of the database Scopus, by applying bibliometric techniques and by analyzing the contents of articles published from 1976 to 2016. All the materials included in the analysis have been reported from Scopus. Several key aspects of the publications have been considered such as document type, language, subject area, journal type and keywords. Sustainable Development, Sustainability, Energy Conservation, Energy Efficiency and Buildings have been verified as the most used keywords. The obtained contributions have been classified geographically and by institution, with the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Australia and Italy being the leading research countries and Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Delft University of Technology and Tsinghua University the top contributing institutions. The most active categories in those fields are engineering, social sciences and environmental issues in that order. It can be assumed that the study of sustainability and energy efficiency across all its dimensions is of great interest for the scientific community. The global environmental issue has led many countries to incorporate a wide range of Energy Efficiency (EE) strategies in order to reduce energy consumption in public buildings, a highly valued aspect by European Union energy labelling.

“…Through preservation and care of natural resources, CE introduces the idea of resource-conservative manufacturing, leading to sustainable production [35]. Resources are objects, personal characteristics, conditions, or energy that are valuable in themselves because they contribute to achievement of worthy goals [69,70]. Resources are scarce.…”

Family Businesses Transitioning to a Circular Economy Model: The Case of “Mercadona”

et al. 2018

Sustainability addresses environmental and social issues affecting this and future generations. When family businesses perceive that the community is disrupted, recognize an environmental problem and respond by implementing new environmental policies or regulations, the family business's socio-emotional values press to transition to a more sustainable production system, such as the 'Circular Economy.' Drawing on the Dubin (1978) methodology-a paradigm for building models through deduction-we design a sustainable model, which shows family businesses' responses to changes in the environment. It explains the reasons why family firms transition to the Circular Economy, based on the theory of Socio-Emotional Wealth (SEW). We check the model through the case study of the food retail leader in the Spanish market-Mercadona-which applies policies about energy, resources and waste to become a Circular Economy business model. Because of the strong family character of Mercadona, this case can be useful for the decision-making of other family businesses.

Abstract:The re-use of historical buildings, in some cases those that have been abandoned for years, is currently generating a lot of interest, and brings into discussion topics such as land recycling and the use of new resources. Our project on the rehabilitation of the former San Salvatore hospital in L'Aquila is an example of this re-use, and illustrates how best-practice strategies can be implemented in the rehabilitation of an existing building. There were two themes of evaluation: firstly, the adaptive re-use of a historical building of great impact in a strategic position within the urban core; secondly, the implementation of sustainable strategies when upgrading both the building envelope and building systems.
