Journal ArticleDOI
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
E.R. Teixeira,Gilberto Machado,Adilson de Paula Junior,Christiane Guarnier,Jorge Emanuel Pereira Fernandes,Sandra Monteiro Silva,Ricardo Mateus +6 more
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.

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.
