Healthcare Building Sustainability Assessment tool - Sustainable Effective Design criteria in the Portuguese context

TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to discuss the context of sustainability assessment methods in the field of healthcare buildings and to present a proposal for the incorporation of Sustainable-Effective Design criteria in a new HBSA method.
Journal ArticleDOI

BIM-based energy analysis and sustainability assessment - application to Portuguese buildings

TL;DR: This study aims to validate a BIM-based framework to streamline the energy analysis of Portuguese buildings, based on the method of the national regulation for the thermal performance of residential buildings, and link the results of the energy simulation with a Building Sustainability Assessment method—SBToolPT-H.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sustainable building design: Analysing the feasibility of BIM platforms to support practical building sustainability assessment

TL;DR: In this article, a case study was modelled and characterised in Autodesk Revit and tailored parameters were created to support the assessment, in a faster and automated way when faced with the traditional assessment process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanical and Thermal Performance Characterisation of Compressed Earth Blocks

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of compressed earth blocks (CEBs) was evaluated in terms of electrical resistivity, ultrasonic pulse velocity, compressive strength, total water absorption, water absorption by capillarity, accelerated erosion test, and thermal transmittance evaluated in a guarded hotbox setup apparatus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of the environmental assessment of an identical office building with national methods

TL;DR: The IEA EBC Annex 72 focused on the assessment of the primary energy demand, greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impacts of buildings during production, construction, use (including repair and replacement) and end of life (dismantling), i.e. during the entire life cycle of buildings as discussed by the authors.
