A risk management model makes it possible to explore the organizational factors and risk management practices that affect or delay the achievement of the objectives that are considered strategic. The purpose of managing risks is to develop a detailed analysis of the organization, its operations, assets, processes and their existing interrelationships in order to establish a complete list of risks, which implies identifying, analyzing and providing alternative treatment to risks. actual and potential. Therefore, a risk management model obtains too much importance when focusing on the needs of the organization in a specific way, since it is not only about copying norms or policies of one organization to mitigate the risks of another, but each of these has different scenarios or contexts.

“…Among the major emissive sectors, buildings play a fundamental role, being responsible for 40% of total final energy consumption and 36% of CO 2 emissions globally [2][3][4]. Moreover, additional pollutant emissions are linked not only to the management of buildings but also to how they are built [5], considering their impact on the environment in the short and long term during their complete life cycle [6][7][8]. The construction sector has a pivotal role within this framework, due to its high potential to reduce pollutant emissions.…”

Insulating Building Components Made from a Mixture of Waste and Vegetal Materials: Thermal Characterization of Nine New Products

et al. 2021

Nowadays, energy efficiency and sustainability are the fulcra of building policies. These policies promote the use of new technologies and materials that can reduce the primary energy involved and the environmental costs of construction, guarantying at the same time a high level of comfort for the building’s occupants. Synergy between previous construction techniques and the use of new materials should be pursued by employing materials with a low environmental impact and optimal thermal insulation properties. Within this framework, new materials derived from the agriculture sector, and waste or recycling products from the industrial/agricultural sectors have been studied. The aim of this paper is to contribute to this field by analysing the insulation properties of new environmentally friendly materials composited from waste or vegetal products for their applications within the construction sector. Measurements of the thermal conductivity of nine different samples are carried out, obtaining promising results suggesting that these products can be used as feasible alternatives to the materials traditionally used for construction and insulation. However, further analyses are certainly recommended, to assess the samples’ structural properties and the influence of pre-treatments on the samples.
