Using the SBToolPT-H to optimize the sustainability during the design phase of ...

Isabel, Mateus; Ricardo, Mateus; Sandra, Sandra Monteiro

Publicado em "Rehab 2014 – Proceedings of the International Conference on Preservation, Maintenance and Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings and Structures", ISBN 978-989-8734-02-0 ; Most of the existing building stock high resources consumption and low indoor environmental quality, leading to the unsustainability of the built environment. It is then urgent to define guidelines that could support the sustain...


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...


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...


Cost/benefit analysis in the implementation of sustainable construction princip...

Martinho, Sérgio; Rigueiro, Constança; Mateus, Ricardo

The construction sector is one of the major contributors for the increase of pollution and environmental degradation. The uncontrolled increase on the consumption of natural resources, the way they are used and the high emissions they arise, are impelling the study and implementation of policies and procedures which ensure a sustainable future for construction and for the sustainability of the planet. The objec...


Tradition in Continuity : thermal monitoring in vernacular architecture of farm...

Gonçalves, Joana; Mateus, Ricardo; Fernandes, Jorge E. P.; Ferreira, Teresa Sofia Faria Cunha

The study focuses on the identification of a typology of vernacular architecture, characterized by dispersion and isolation on a territory usually associated with concentrated settlements. This paper aims to contribute for understanding how local factors (climate, economy, culture, etc.) influenced vernacular architecture in the northeast of Portugal by analysing the strategies and building solutions that enabl...


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...


Improving sustainability in healthcare with better space design quality

Castro, Maria de Fátima; Mateus, Ricardo; Bragança, L.

Publicado em "Green design, materials and manufacturing processes", ISBN 978-1-1380-0046-9 ; 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 hosp...


The contribute of using vernacular materials and techniques for sustainable bui...

Fernandes, Jorge E. P.; Mateus, Ricardo; Bragança, L.

The use of local materials and techniques is one of the main features from vernacular architecture. When compared with industrially-produced materials, vernacular materials have low environmental impacts, being an alternative for sustainable building. However, industrialization have brought new standardized materials that led to the homogenization of the different building approaches and spawned a universal arc...


Defining best practices in sustainable urban regeneration projects

Castanheira, Guilherme; Bragança, L.; Mateus, Ricardo

This paper aims at analysing three international sustainable urban regeneration projects. The analysis is based in the application of ten urban sustainability indicators from two sustainability assessment tools (Sustainable Building Tool for Urban Planning in Portugal - SBToolPT-UP and International Sustainable Building Tool for Urban Planning– SBTool Urban) that are being developed at national and internationa...
