The potential of vernacular materials to the sustainable building design
Fernandes, Jorge E. P.; Mateus, Ricardo; Bragança, L.Publicado em "Vernacular heritage and earthen architecture : contributions for sustainable development", ISBN 978-1-138-00083-4 ; Vernacular architecture embodies a plurality of constraints from places where it belongs, in which the use of local materials and techniques is one of the main features. When compared with industrially-produced materials, vernacular materials have low environmental impacts, being an...
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...
Avaliação em laboratório do comportamento térmico de soluções construtivas em m...
Oliveira, Marco A.; Silva, Sandra Monteiro; Branco, Jorge M.; Bragança, L.; Lourenço, Paulo B.O presente trabalho apresenta a avaliação do comportamento térmico de quatro soluções construtivas integralmente em madeira, recorrendo à previsão e análise experimental do seu desempenho térmico. Foram avaliadas quatro soluções construtivas representativas do mercado, três delas tendo por base troncos de madeira e uma outra do tipo entramado de madeira. As principais tipologias de habitações que se encontram n...
The use of generic LCIA databases in the process of building sustainability ass...
Mateus, Ricardo; Bragança, L.The main constrain for the widespread use of LCA in the building sector is the lack of environmental data for most building materials, products and technologies. Based in the work of CEN TC 350 and in the work of iiSBE Portugal in the development of the Portuguese rating system SBToolPT®, this paper aims at presenting and discussing the development of a method to simplify LCA for effective use during the design...
Indoor and outdoor spaces design quality and its contribution to sustainable ho...
Castro, Maria de Fátima; Mateus, Ricardo; Bragança, L.The hospital project contains different aspects from the most common projects of residential, offices or services buildings. In common buildings, sometimes the user and the client are the same and when they are not, setting the requirements is not difficult since they are common to most inhabitants. In the case of hospital buildings this is not the reality and the project team is usually hired for the purpose o...
Space design quality and its importance to sustainable construction : the case ...
Castro, Maria de Fátima; Mateus, Ricardo; Bragança, L.The hospital project, more than any other, requires a number of concerns related with the satisfaction and well being of working teams, patient, administration and other officials. In this context it is possible to say that the healthcare spaces design are fundamental for the best work, functionality, results and to improve the best practices for a sustainable building. The volume and organization of these spac...
Assessment of the bond quality degradation in FRP-strengthened masonry using IR...
Ghiassi, Bahman; Silva, Sandra Monteiro; Oliveira, Daniel V.; Lourenço, Paulo B.; Bragança, L.The FRP-to-masonry bond behavior in externally bonded reinforced masonry structures is the main mechanism in controlling the effectiveness of this technique. Therefore, monitoring the quality of bond during the service life of the structure is of crucial importance for structural health evaluation. The bond quality may be affected due to environmental conditions which results in local detachments at the FRP/sub...
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...
Bioclimatic buildings strategies for the climate of Araras city, São Paulo - Br...
Nascimento, Juliana M. A. do; Sacht, Helenice Maria; Bragança, L.The concept of bioclimatic architecture or passive solar architecture can be defined as an architecture that includes the climate as an important variable in the design process. Through the use of bioclimatic strategies the environment comfort can be obtained naturally for users of buildings, which depending on the climate, the construction techniques and the type of use. Considering these aspects, the main obj...
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...
