In the last decade, the analysis of shading or sunlight in architectural projects has become an important role in improving building thermal and lighting performances. Selecting an appropriate software tool for this type of analysis is a challenging task given the little information available. Therefore, the paper reviews the existing literature on heliodon designs and computational tools for building shadow analysis. The review includes a detailed description and classification of various types of heliodons, along with their operating principles and geometric features that affect their performance, including light sources, positioning mechanisms, and structures. This paper also includes descriptions and classification of the computational tools for testing building shadow patterns and applications in architecture. Moreover, this paper shows the capabilities of different software packages and their essential features, strengths, and limitations. In addition, we identified the current gaps in the literature on heliodons and computational tools. According to the results, for the case of heliodons, there is a lack of error analysis and a standardized calibration process, therefore, repeatability of the results is difficult to achieve. In the case of computational tools, they have reached a higher degree of success in the market than the heliodons, however, the cost of licensing and learning curve can be a limitation.

Resumen La industria del mármol genera gran cantidad de desperdicio en polvo. Estos desechos carecen de un adecuado plan de manejo, además de resultar altamente contaminantes a la población que rodea el lugar de los depósitos de estos materiales. Para ofrecer una solución, en este artículo se presentan los resultados del desarrollo de un ladrillo a base del polvo de mármol. El programa experimental incluye 16 dosificaciones diferentes en las que se varía la cantidad de cemento, cal y arena, y se deja constante el polvo de mármol. El programa incluye el ensayo a compresión de 160 ladrillos, 3 ensayos a compresión en muretes, 3 pruebas de adherencia a compresión en muretes y 48 pruebas de absorción. Los resultados de compresión y adherencia demostraron que estos ladrillos podrían ser utilizados para la construcción de muros de carga en vivienda desarrolladas en zonas de amenaza sísmica baja. Palabras clave: Absorción; adherencia; compresión; muros de carga; vivienda Abstract The marble industry generates large amount of dust waste. These wastes do not have a proper management plan, as well as being highly contaminating the population surrounding the site of the deposits of these materials. To offer a solution, this article shows the results of the development of a brick-based marble powder to achieve sufficient compressive strength to construction masonry walls in low-rise housing. The experimental program includes 16 different dosages that varies the amount of cement, lime, and sand, and keeping constant the marble powder. The program includes the compressive tests for 160 bricks, compressive tests for 3 small walls, validated adherence under compression tests for 3 small walls, and absorption tests for 48 bricks. The results of the test showed that the compression strength of the individual bricks and wall is 4.0 MPa y 1.9 MPa, respectively, and the absorption of the bricks es 21 %. This results of absorption , compression and adhesion are a first indication of the feasibility of used these bricks for the construction of load-bearing walls in housing developed in areas of low seismic demands. Key Words: Absorption; adhesion; compression; load-bearing walls; housing

El estudio de la vivienda desde la valuación inmobiliaria es fundamental para entender la elección de lugar de residencia de las personas, pues como menciona Espino Méndez (2008) esto depende de su capacidad adquisitiva y sus preferencias (p. 35). El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la incidencia de diferentes factores en el valor de la Vivienda en Laderas de la Periferia Urbana (VLPU), y su relación con la teoría de externalidades y la teoría de la formación espacial de valores inmobiliarios. Se empleó una metodología cualitativa, primeramente, a través de una revisión teórica con la que se consiguió describir los criterios para valorar los factores: topografía, el nivel socioeconómico y la periferia urbana como externalidades principales para considerar al valorar la VLPU. Además, por medio de un sondeo exploratorio con una muestra no representativa de avalúos realizados en Saltillo, Coahuila, México, como resultado se identificaron los atributos que los valuadores describen y valúan al momento de la homologación en el método de mercado, para valorar la vivienda en esta ciudad. La investigación contribuye teóricamente al conocimiento, no solo en el campo de la valuación inmobiliaria, sino también en estudios de planificación y gestión urbana, con lo que se sugieren nuevos temas de investigación. El trabajo concluye con reflexiones sobre aspectos que continúan desconocidos acerca de las VLPU y para futuras investigaciones relacionadas con la estimación de valor de inmuebles.

República neighborhood, in Saltillo, Coahuila, has transitioned from a peripheral residential area to a multifunctional space with high urban activity. This transformation has produced diverse soundscapes that reflect the new uses of public space. This study offers an initial approach to analyzing the neighborhood’s soundscape based on users’ perceptions. The Soundscape Evaluator mobile application was used to collect information at strategic points, demonstrating the effectiveness of technology as a tool to expand and replicate similar studies in other urban contexts. The methodology combined quantitative and qualitative techniques, following the ISO 12913 standard, which facilitated a perceptual classification of the soundscapes and comparison with previous research. The results reaffirm that the acoustic factor should not be seen merely as an environmental externality to be mitigated, but as an opportunity to enrich the sensory experience of those who inhabit and move through public spaces. This human-centered approach emphasizes the value of sound as a fundamental component in shaping the urban environment and in building comprehensive diagnoses for public space management.
