Energy, Space and Society: Environmental Comfort, distributed generation and Energy Efficiency in the Framework of Sustainability of Buildings

Coordinated by the professors Sylvia Rola and Virgínia Vasconcellos, this project understands that thinking about the built environment is to reveal the systemic aspect of their analysis, deriving from multidisciplinary intercession and converging concepts of environmental comfort, distributed generation, and energy efficiency. Environmental comfort is determined by the well-being of the user of the built environment and, regardless of the bioclimatic zone added to climate changes, its study becomes a generalized need, where the conditions of acclimatization of buildings increase energy demand, requiring adaptation, both to energy efficiency techniques and practices, as well as to new renewable sources of distributed energy generation. Technological and regulatory advances make it possible for the built space to act as demand and supplier of electric energy, the new functionality of a consumer, dialoguing with the conception of form and use, individual and collective, consequently, with the regulatory framework for the use and occupation of space.
