Effective research requires strong relation between a broad variety of scientific and technological domains and more conventional construction or craft processes, while also considering advanced management processes, where all the main actors permanently interact. This publication takes an interdisciplinary approach grouping various studies on the building industry chosen from among the works presented for the 2nd International Conference on Construction and Building Research. The papers examine aspects of materials and building systems; construction technology; energy and sustainability; construction management; heritage, refurbishment and conservation. The information contained within these pages may be of interest to researchers and practitioners in construction and building activities from the academic sphere, as well as public and private sectors.

Tras un largo proceso de revisión por parte del Comité Técnico 176 de ISO, el 23 de septiembre de 2015 fue finalmente publicada la nueva y esperada versión de la norma ISO 9001, el modelo de sistemas de gestión más popular y con mayor número de certificados en todo el mundo. Vistos los cambios que aporta esta nueva edición —cambios en la estructura, en el enfoque, en los requisitos, en los términos y conceptos—, el proceso de transición no será una tarea fácil para las personas responsables de la implementación y mantenimiento del sistema, por lo que el principal objetivo de este libro es hacer una descripción sencilla de los cambios y novedades que aporta la nueva versión de la norma de forma que el proceso de transición sea lo más eficaz y menos traumático posible. Este libro es una guía útil tanto para aquellas empresas que aborden la implementación de la norma por primera vez como aquellas que ya estén certificadas. Para ello, se incluyen como anexos la correlación entre los puntos de la antigua versión 2008 y la nueva versión 2015 así como un listado en el que se especifican los nuevos documentos y registros obligatorios, que facilita la optimización del sistema documental.
