Student research is an important part in the Sustainable Campuses Initiative. Undergraduate and graduate students from our partner Mexican universities are carrying out research as part of their undergraduate and graduate theses. The student research is characterized by its applied nature. All of the projects have as an objective to explore problematics linked to campus sustainability at the students\u2019 own campus. Many of these projects use a participatory action-research approach. The Sustainable Campuses Initiative supports these students through scholarships and by providing small funding for campus sustainability projects. Furthermore, students are engaged in different forums where they are encouraged to share their knowledge with members of their educational communities and that of the other institutional partners. \u00a0Here is a description of the different theses projects that have been funded through the SSHRC funds.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Estudio de factibilidad para la instalaci\u00f3n de paneles solares en la Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica del Estado de Morelos, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Resumen<\/strong>
\nPara la elaboraci\u00f3n de un proyecto de investigaci\u00f3n es necesario, identificar las diversas problem\u00e1ticas que cualquier instituci\u00f3n enfrenta, en este caso se analizaron diversas deficiencias presentes en la Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica del Estado de Morelos (Upemor), dentro de las cuales fue notable el excesivo egreso o desembolso de dinero por parte de la instituci\u00f3n por el uso de energ\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica, adem\u00e1s, de que el uso de este tipo de energ\u00eda causa da\u00f1os al medio ambiente por la emisi\u00f3n de gases del efecto invernadero, los cuales surgen por la quema de combustibles f\u00f3siles que se utilizan a fin de generar esta energ\u00eda. Por ende fue que la propuesta de implementar paneles solares surgi\u00f3, puesto que el generar energ\u00edas alternativas disminuye considerablemente el da\u00f1o al medio ambiente, sin embargo, antes de implementarlos es necesario realizar un estudio de factibilidad financiera y un estudio t\u00e9cnico que den a conocer los beneficios y los alcances que, este proyecto otorgara a la Upemor y otras instituciones educativas que se interesen por el mismo.<\/p>\n

Con el objetivo de llevar a cabo este proyecto y debido al poco conocimiento que pose\u00eda acerca de lo que es la sustentabilidad y la forma en que se podr\u00eda vincular con las finanzas, fue necesario realizar una serie de investigaciones y\/o lecturas acerca de ambos temas, adem\u00e1s de analizar teor\u00edas que con anterioridad fueron creadas a fin de realizar otros proyectos similares. Tambi\u00e9n, fue necesario solicitar informaci\u00f3n hist\u00f3rica en relaci\u00f3n al consumo y el costo mensual por energ\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica en la Upemor, y analizar los espacios disponibles para los paneles, todo eso para tener un panorama de la capacidad que la universidad posee para implementar este proyecto y la factibilidad que poseer\u00e1 a la hora de que se lleve a cabo.<\/p>\n

\nTITLE: Feasibility study for the installation of solar panels at the Universidad Politecnica del Estado de Morelos, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the preparation of a research project necessary, identify the various problems that any institution faces in this case various deficiencies present were analyzed at the Universidad Politecnica del Estado de Morelos (Upemor), within which was notable excessive discharge or outlay of money by the institution for the use of electricity, moreover, that the use of this type of energy causes damage to the environment by the emission of greenhouse gases, which come from burning fossil fuels They are used to generate this energy. Thus it was that the proposal to implement solar panels arose, since the generating alternative energy significantly reduces the damage to the environment, however, before implementing them it is necessary to conduct a financial feasibility study and a technical study to disclose the benefits and the scope that this project will give the Upemor and other educational institutions that are interested in it.<\/p>\n

In order to carry out this project and due to the little knowledge he possessed about what is sustainability and how they could be linked with finance, was necessary to conduct a series of investigations and \/ or reading about both topics besides analyzing earlier theories that were created to perform similar projects. Also, it was necessary to request historical information in relation to consumption and the monthly cost for electricity in the Upemor, and analyze the available space for the panels, all that to have an overview of the capacity that the university has to implement this project and feasibility possess when it is carried out.<\/p>\n

Resumen
\n<\/strong>La Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica del Estado de Morelos en coordinaci\u00f3n con el Dawson College de Canad\u00e1 forman parte de los Planteles Educativos Sustentables en los que el cuidado del medio ambiente es el principal objetivo. Dentro del programa se incluyen proyectos de diversos temas en los que benefician no s\u00f3lo a sus instituciones sino tambi\u00e9n al entorno. Gracias al convenio con estos planteles, surge la idea de realizar proyectos dentro de la universidad.<\/p>\n

La realizaci\u00f3n de esta investigaci\u00f3n comienza con el an\u00e1lisis de las problem\u00e1ticas ambientales dentro de la Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica del Estado de Morelos; para ello se hizo una b\u00fasqueda entre los\u00a0 problemas actuales y como resultado se lleg\u00f3 a la escasez de agua. Es importante mencionar que este proyecto no busca eliminar al 100% este problema a nivel regional, sino reducir el consumo de agua potable dentro de la institucin, recordamos que para realizar los grandes cambios se comienza con las peque\u00f1as acciones, por eso se decidi\u00f3 dar marcha a este proyecto.<\/p>\n

En primer lugar se consult\u00f3 la informaci\u00f3n necesaria para establecer los puntos estrat\u00e9gicos de colocaci\u00f3n del sistema de agua pluvial. Se obtuvieron los planos de los edificios de la Upemor y con ello observamos que dentro de la instituci\u00f3n ya se contaba con un sistema, sin embargo, se deshabilit\u00f3 por falta de mantenimiento.\u00a0 El desconocimiento de temas ambientales fue un problema, as\u00ed que se consultaron fuentes bibliogr\u00e1ficas de temas afines para comprender a fondo el problema de la escasez y el uso irracional de agua potable.<\/p>\n

Para iniciar la Tesina, se comenz\u00f3 a establecer los objetivos de manera que se deb\u00eda cumplir con un impacto ambiental y financiero, as\u00ed mismo se defini\u00f3 la estructura de cada cap\u00edtulo; dentro de cada uno se colocaron temas de sustentabilidad, acciones con otras instituciones para promover el cuidado del agua y el estudio de factibilidad financiera del proyecto de sistemas de captaci\u00f3n de agua pluvial, esto \u00faltimo, para alcanzar el objetivo general del proyecto que es: Evaluar la factibilidad\u00a0 financiera del\u00a0 proyecto de inversi\u00f3n para la implementaci\u00f3n de\u00a0 un sistema de captaci\u00f3n de agua de lluvia en las instalaciones de la Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica del estado de Morelos a trav\u00e9s del uso de herramientas tradicionales como Valor Presente Neto, Tasa Interna de Retorno y Periodo de Recuperaci\u00f3n para determinar la aplicaci\u00f3n del mismo.<\/p>\n

Abstract
\n<\/strong>The Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica del Estado de Morelos in coordination with the Dawson College of Canada are part of the sustainable educational institutions in which environmental protection is the main objective. Within the program have projects of various topics that benefit not only institutions but also the environment they are included. Thanks to an agreement with these schools, appear the idea of carrying out projects within the university.<\/p>\n

The realization of this research begins with the analysis of environmental issues within the Polytechnic University of the State of Morelos; for it was searched among the problems today and as a result was reached water shortages. It is important to mention that this project seeks not eliminate 100% this problem at the regional level but reduce the consumption of potable water within the institution, remember that to make big changes start with small actions, so it was decided to march this project.<\/p>\n

First, the necessary information consulted to establish the strategic placement points storm water system. Plans Upemor buildings were obtained and thus see that within the institution already had a system; however, it was disabled due to lack of maintenance. Ignorance of environmental issues was a problem, so bibliographical sources related issues were consulted to fully understand the problem of shortage and irrational use of drinking water.<\/p>\n

To start the Thesis, it began to set goals so that it would comply with an environmental and financial impact, also the structure of each chapter defined; within each sustainability issues, actions with other institutions to promote water conservation and financial feasibility study of the proposed collection systems rainwater is placed, the latter, to achieve the overall objective of the project is: Evaluate the financial feasibility of the investment project for the implementation of a system for capturing rainwater in the premises of the Polytechnic University of Morelos state through the use of traditional tools such as Net Present Value, Internal rate of Return and Recovery Period to determine the application.<\/p>\n

TITLE: Economic impact of the implementation of sustainable technology in buildings of educational institutions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this research, special emphasis is placed on the economic aspect of the implementation of technologies that provide comfort to users of the buildings and to a lesser extent affecting the environment than the systems that are commonly used in school buildings. With the damage that is done every day, the planet surpassed its capacity to regenerate. In the construction area, architects and engineers have the need to implement new technologies that have less environmental impact, which not only give environmental results, but positive economic results. The purpose is to generate knowledge about the economic benefit that will result by the implementation of sustainable technologies that where previously developed by experts.<\/p>\n

The way to achieve this is by identifying the factors that influence high energy consumption, detect spaces that can adapt the proposed technology and make a comparative analysis of the economic effects that will be obtained if implemented.<\/p>\n
