Achieving cost benefits in sustainable cooperative housing
Coimbra, José Paulo Tavares; Almeida, Manuela Guedes deThe cooperative housing sector is directed at low and medium income residents who cannot afford to buy their homes in the regular private market. Due to social housing legislation, it is possible to build cooperative housing below regular market costs and use tax benefits, therefore providing affordable dwellings to their owners. Traditional cooperative housing used to provide less comfort and higher running co...
Analysis of some Portuguese thermal regulation parameters
Araújo, Catarina; Almeida, Manuela Guedes de; Bragança, L.Due to the high energy consumption associated with the building sector, several legal documents with the aim of promoting energy efficiency have emerged in recent years, e.g. the Directive 2002/91/EC on the energy performance of buildings (EPBD) and its recast on 19 May 2010, Directive 2010/31/EU. The EPBD led many countries to adjust their own building energy-related regulations. The Portuguese thermal regulat...
Using PCM to improve building's thermal performance
Silva, Sandra Monteiro; Almeida, Manuela Guedes deDue to EU and worldwide high energy consumption of the buildings stock, it is important to take measures to reduce these needs and, consequently, reduce the EU energy dependency as well as the greenhouse gas emissions. To improve the behaviour of the buildings, concerning thermal comfort of the occupants and energy performance, it is necessary to reduce the thermal amplitudes, the winter heat losses, the summer...
Research on the Portuguese building stock and its impacts on energy consumption...
Sousa, J. Bastos; Bragança, L.; Almeida, Manuela Guedes de; Silva, Pedro Correia Pereira daThe article aims to evaluate the Portuguese building stock energy policies and strategy for energy saving in buildings among the EU members. It was found out the average heat transfer coefficients of the main structural elements of Portuguese Buildings and analyzed the U-values of this elements considering different time periods. The fundamentals of this study were funded by the Agency for Development and Innov...
Sustainable construction key indicators
Araújo, Catarina; Bragança, L.; Almeida, Manuela Guedes deSustainable building is a concept that began its development nearly two decades ago. With sustainable buildings, it is intended to establish building practices that allow minimizing the buildings impacts, build and manage buildings with an adequate balance between environment, society and economy. However, besides the importance of this concept, its broader implementation is not yet a reality. Several studies h...
Challenges and benefits of building sustainable cooperative housing
Coimbra, José; Almeida, Manuela Guedes deThis research has the goal of determining, comparing and substantiating the actual outcome of using sustainable practices, from a financial and environmental comfort point of view. The selected context was of interest due to the challenge of quality sustainable construction at controlled costs, meant for inhabitants of the Portuguese cooperative housing, due to its economical implications and especially its soc...
Development of prefabricated retrofit module towards nearly zero energy buildings
Silva, Pedro C. P.; Almeida, Manuela Guedes de; Bragança, L.; Mesquita, VascoThe building sector is an energy intensive sector, with great potential to reduce energy needs and environmental pollution. Several measures are being taken to increase the energy efficiency and avoid energy consumption in this sector. A recent trend is the nearly zero energy buildings, which was already adopted by some of the latest regulations, such as the 2010 recast of the European Performance of Buildings ...
Módulos de reabilitação de fachadas - painéis metálicos prefabricados
Silva, Pedro; Almeida, Manuela Guedes de; Bragança, L.O peso do consumo de energia dos edifícios existentes no consumo energético global do sector da construção é cada vez mais relevante. Isto deve-se à qualidade cada vez maior da envolvente dos novos edifícios, conseguida principalmente através do uso generalizado de isolamento, de janelas mais eficientes e de melhores técnicas de conservação de energia, o que resulta em edifícios com cada vez menores necessidade...
Reabilitação energética do Parque Residencial : metodologia para determinação d...
Almeida, Manuela Guedes de; Ferreira, Marco; Rodrigues, AnaO sector dos edifícios é um dos maiores consumidores de energia a nível global e consequentemente representa um forte contributo para as emissões de gases com efeito de estufa, pelo que a redução desse consumo bem como a utilização de energia proveniente de fontes renováveis constituem neste sector medidas importantes e necessárias para mitigar os efeitos das alterações climáticas. Essa redução terá de incidir ...
IDES-EDU – new interdisciplinary education program for Integral design of built...
Dvorakova, Pavla; Kabele, Karel; Brunsgaarda, Camilla; Wyckmans, Annemie; Stutterecker, Werner; Magyar, Zoltan; Almeida, Manuela Guedes deBuildings fulfilling all requirements related to energy, economy and environment are necessary to be designed by interdisciplinary teams with efficient transfer of information and good knowledge base. IDES EDU is a project co-funded by the Intelligent Energy Europe program in which 15 European universities make a concerted effort to develop and implement balanced master and postgraduate courses on Sustainable E...
