Author Biographies

Robiel Manzueta is a pre-doctoral researcher at the Universidad de Navarra, affiliated with the Department of Building Construction, Services and Structures and the BIOMA Institute. Her work focuses on improving air quality in urban residential and educational buildings by analyzing pollutant emissions and evaluating ventilation systems (HVACs). Some of her publications identify how pollutants such as CO₂, CO, VOCs, and particulate matter interact with different building ventilation methods. A range of effective mitigation strategies was outlined by other research, including nature-based solutions such as green walls and technological solutions such as photocatalytic paints. The strategies were successful in reducing NOₓ, PM10, and other pollutants. She also participated in the EXHAL project, an applied research initiative that measured real-time pollutant emissions in residential buildings. Beyond research, she has participated in teaching innovation projects, helping architecture students to explore HVAC systems and their impact on indoor air quality. Her work is distinguished by its interdisciplinary approach, which integrates architecture, environmental science, and public health to deliver practical, scalable solutions for healthier living environments.
César Martín-Gómez has a PhD in Architecture and has been responsible for building services and energy systems in complex projects, working at I&S Ingenieros, the National Center for Renewable Energy, and Mangado&Asociados. He currently works as professor in the Department of Construction, Building Services, and Structures at the Universidad de Navarra.
