Syllabus
- Architectural and constructive sustainability and its positive evolutionary genesis; - Environment and energy on the basis of current and future performance; - Tendency for constructions with zero carbon also for Portugal and Africa according to local climate and materials; - The concepts of energy embodied in building materials in the way of energy savings and carbon emissions; - The concepts of using local materials and pre-fabricated materials as a contribution to saving energy and reducing costs; - The use of the concepts of Life Cycle Cost and Life Cycle Assessment as work and energy and cost expression tools; - Study and comparison of energies incorporated in local materials. The trend towards new outdoor enclosures with attention to the much more demanding insulation; - Cutting-edge nanotechnology materials as auxiliary energy materials.
Objectives
- Interdisciplinarity and relationship of the Architecture Project with the Engineering and its legal coordination; - Practicing the Building Intelligence Modeling (BIM) program in practical examples complementing the Architecture Project and the Specialty Projects, making them truly coordinated, responsible and achievable; - Obey the LCC ¿Life Cycle Cost that will discriminate all real expenses of the work, private and administrative; - Contain a material recovery scheme for reuse and future disassembly for the end of life and comply with the decree concerning construction and demolition waste. - Ensure the management of the site and the work through the BIM and refer the elements to the information during the lifetime of the construction; - Scheme of recovery of materials with a view to their reuse and future dismantling at least 100 years later, within the general concepts of sustainability and energy incorporated in the materials to be reused.
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The teaching has three aspects - theoretical presentation of the themes of the program, with support in multimedia solutions, moderated debates by the teacher for evaluation on each of the themes previously presented within the program, critical evaluation of case studies of greater controversy and that generate more doubts , where students are invited to make a presentation of their position regarding the problems under study. Topics such as Intelligent Design and Building Information Modeling, Life Cycle Assessment and Life Cycle Cost will be used. Zero carbon concept in construction. The evaluation, is the average of all the works ¿Intervention in the debates on from the point of view of updating and innovation ¿Works and investigations carried out on the cases of study and regular tasks of investigation within the themes of the student ¿Appreciation of works to the the light of the given matter and the objectives to be
