Research data keyboard_double_arrow_right Dataset 2024Publisher:Zenodo Authors: Vaz, Igor Catão Martins; Ghisi, Enedir; Thives, Liseane Padilha; Vieira, Abel Silva; +8 AuthorsVaz, Igor Catão Martins; Ghisi, Enedir; Thives, Liseane Padilha; Vieira, Abel Silva; Rupp, Ricardo Forgiarini; da Rosa, Aline Schaefer; Flores, Rafael Almeida; Bastos, Matheus Bruhns; Marinoski, Deivis Luis; Silva, Arthur Santos; Weeber, Max; Invidiata, Andrea;(English) 1. Introduction This project aims to address the impacts of climate change on the built environment by developing a set of future Brazilian EPW (Energy Plus Weather Format) files and a dashboard to interpret and evaluate the data. The future climate files were obtained using the Future Weather Generator (FWG) [1] with climate projections for Brazilian cities, integrating these projections into a code pipeline for automation. In this part of the project, thermal comfort indices, such as the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) and the Discomfort Index (DI), were also evaluated to understand future thermal comfort conditions. The methodology followed the structure available in the future-EPW-analysis repository: Climate-One-Building (COB) web-scrapping for all available Brazilian EPW files (we recommend doing this carefully so as not to damage the COB infrastructure); Automatic organisation of all EPW files in a folder, extracting them from the ZIP format; Simulation of future climate files using FutureWeatherGenerator [1] in a line of code with default parameters (shown in Table 1); Organisation of all available EPWs (original and simulated) in a single database; Calculation of thermal comfort indices using pythermalcomfort [2]. The main objective is to provide researchers, policymakers and professionals with a comprehensive tool for assessing and mitigating the impacts of climate change in different Brazilian cities, offering accurate data for thermal comfort and energy efficiency modelling. The methodology involves generating future EPW files, validating them against existing literature and visualising the results through a user-friendly dashboard. The study highlights the importance of adaptive and climate-resilient strategies in urban planning and building design. Expected climate changes in Brazil include increased dry bulb temperature and variations in relative humidity, radiation and wind speed in the different bioclimatic zones. The dashboard has been designed to simplify the visualisation of future climate data, focusing on the main climate variables, thermal comfort indices and data visualisation. It allows users to filter by city and automatically calculate all the indices, providing detailed analyses and comparisons of different scenarios. By offering a free, open-access, multi-platform, extensible, customisable and easy-to-maintain tool, the project aims to facilitate continuous updates, new features and corrections. This tool supports decision-making in public policy and urban planning, promoting a more sustainable and resilient built environment in the face of climate change. 2. Further details on the methodology Details on how the indices were selected and how the study was conducted may be found in Vaz et al. [3]. The GitHub repository in future-EPW-analysis [4] also includes details on the step-by-step procedures.

Introdução Este projeto tem como objetivo abordar os impactos das mudanças climáticas no ambiente construído, desenvolvendo um conjunto de futuros arquivos EPW (Energy Plus Weather Format) brasileiros e um dashboard para interpretar e avaliar os dados. Os arquivos climáticos futuros foram obtidos com o Future Weather Generator (FWG) [1] com projeções climáticas para cidades brasileiras, integrando essas projeções a um pipeline de código para automação. Nessa parte do projeto, os índices de conforto térmico, como o Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) e o Discomfort Index (DI), também foram avaliados para entender as condições futuras de conforto térmico. A metodologia seguiu a estrutura que está disponível no repositório future-EPW-analysis: Web-scrapping do Climate-One-Building (COB) para todos os arquivos EPW brasileiros disponíveis (recomendamos fazer isso com cuidado para não prejudicar a infraestrutura do COB); Organização automática de todos os arquivos EPW em uma pasta, extraindo-os do formato ZIP; Simulação dos arquivos climáticos futuros por meio do FutureWeatherGenerator [1] em linha de código com parâmetros padrão (mostrados na Tabela 1); Organização de todos os EPW disponíveis (originais e simulados) em um único banco de dados; Cálculo dos índices de conforto térmico com o pythermalcomfort [2]. O objetivo principal é fornecer a pesquisadores, formuladores de políticas e profissionais uma ferramenta abrangente para avaliar e mitigar os impactos das mudanças climáticas em diferentes cidades brasileiras, oferecendo dados precisos para modelagem de conforto térmico e eficiência energética. A metodologia envolve a geração de futuros arquivos EPW, validando-os com a literatura existente e visualizando os resultados por meio de um dashboard de fácil utilização. O estudo destaca a importância de estratégias adaptativas e resistentes ao clima no planejamento urbano e no projeto de edificações. As mudanças climáticas esperadas no Brasil incluem o aumento da temperatura de bulbo seco e variações na umidade relativa, radiação e velocidade do vento nas diferentes zonas bioclimáticas. O dashboard foi projetado para simplificar a visualização dos dados climáticos futuros, concentrando-se nas principais variáveis climáticas, índices de conforto térmico e visualização dos dados. Ele permite que os usuários filtrem por cidade e calculem automaticamente todos os índices, fornecendo análises detalhadas e comparações de diferentes cenários. Ao oferecer uma ferramenta gratuita, de acesso aberto, multiplataforma, extensível, personalizável e de fácil manutenção, o projeto visa a facilitar atualizações contínuas, novos recursos e correções. Essa ferramenta apoia a tomada de decisões em políticas públicas e planejamento urbano, promovendo um ambiente construído mais sustentável e resiliente em face das mudanças climáticas. 2. Mais detalhes sobre a metodologia Detalhes sobre a seleção dos índices de conforto e como o estudo foi conduzido podem ser encontrados em Vaz et al. [3]. O repositório GitHub em future-EPW-analysis [4] também inclui detalhes sobre os procedimentos passo a passo.

O objetivo deste artigo é lançar luzes sobre as implicações da mudança climática para as organizações. Para fazer frente a esse debate, são explorados: o conceito de "inteligência ambiental" (IA); as estratégias por meio das quais as organizações fazem frente ao desafio da mudança climática; as oportunidades que explicam a adoção dessas estratégias; e o papel fornecido pela função produção para que tais estratégias possuam o efeito desejado. Por fim, tais conceitos são sistematizados, buscando-se uma integração dos modelos teóricos existentes, até então considerados de maneira estanque.The aim of this paper is to enlighten the implications of climate change for organizations. To deal with this subject, the follow issues are analyzed: concept of environmental intelligence; opportunities which justify the adoption of these strategies, and the main role performed by the production function to implement such strategies. Finally, concepts of prior theoretical models are taken into account.

In 2004, these debates led the country to develop new policies and implement a national program for biodiesel use and production (PNPB) with the intent to increase the share of renewable energy and foster regional development. In this context, the present study aims to assess the impacts of PNPB on regional development in Tocantins State, northern Brazil. For this purpose, ranges of socio-economic indicators were collected among national and regional stakeholders, as well as specific literature. The preliminary results point out that distribution logistics appears to be a considerable constraint to the success of the PNPB. The concentration of biodiesel industries in the central-west region of the country, and the large distances to deliver biodiesel in the northern Brazil make biodiesel prices non-competitive when compared to fossil diesel. The results also suggest that the PNPB is not succeeding in promoting the integration of family agriculture in the Tocantins state, especially due to the structural difficulty of the agricultural sector, as well as the technical and political shortcomings presented by the mechanism of incentives.

The coatings were densified at 600, 800 and 1000°C and characterized by X-rays diffraction. The influence of the coatings on the corrosion behavior of the substrate was tested in 3% NaCl by potentiodynamic polarization curves at 1 mV s(-1). The electrochemical results showed that the films densified at 800 and 1000°C have a better electrochemical behavior than the films densified at 600°C. An increase in the aluminium content improves the behavior of the coatings. -

Other actors have also begun to develop their own initiatives in relation to public matters, and this also applies to the environmental agenda. In this context, this article aims to develop an approach to public sector initiatives aimed at the environment by examining the experiences of the Public Management and Citizenship program database and the recent activities of the Friends of the Amazon Network. The conclusion is that such an approach should consider at least three elements: Transversality - environmental impacts involve different areas of knowledge and governmental action; No Neutrality - understanding environmental impacts involves negotiation in the public arena; Governance - environmental issues require coordination and relationships between different actors.

The sun has an extremely important role in the existence of human beings, and Brazil has a privileged geographical position to explore sunlight. The union of these two factors favors the use of solar cells for converting solar energy into electricity by photovoltaic technology: it is a great alternative energy source, especially for being a clean one, causing less damage to the environment. This paper addresses the photovoltaic technology with a focus on hospitals, through case studies found in international literature, because hospitals, even running all important services to society, have a potential for pollution capable of causing damage to human health and the environment that is around them. It is estimated that the Brazilian oil reserves are sufficient for twenty-two years. This makes the search for alternative sources for power generation a necessity.

Os subprodutos biogás e lodo foram caracterizados em termos quantitativos (produção) e qualitativos (composição e poder calorífico) durante 12 meses de monitoramento. Foram estudados dois cenários de aproveitamento energético dos subprodutos: (i) uso prioritário do biogás para a secagem térmica do lodo e o excedente de biogás para geração de eletricidade em motor de combustão interna; e (ii) uso prioritário do biogás visando à geração de eletricidade e ao aproveitamento do calor dos gases de exaustão para a secagem térmica de lodo. Para a análise desses cenários, utilizou-se o software CHEMCAD® a fim de determinar as condições de queima do biogás em câmara de combustão e em motor de combustão interna, assim como na determinação dos balanços de massa e energia. O estudo analisou o potencial de aproveitamento dos subprodutos do tratamento como fonte de energia renovável para uso na própria ETE e para fornecimento a terceiros. No cenário 1, a geração de eletricidade é menor (atendendo 22,2% da demanda de energia da ETE), mas a secagem térmica possibilita maior redução no volume final de lodo a ser disposto ou a eliminação completa de disposição final se o lodo seco final (com 10% de umidade) for utilizado como combustível por terceiros. No cenário 2, a geração de eletricidade é capaz de suprir 57,6% da demanda de energia da ETE, todavia o calor contido nos gases de exaustão não é suficiente para a secagem de todo o lodo desaguado, configurando uma menor redução na quantidade de lodo a ser disposto (13,5 ou 24,9% de redução em massa, conforme a alternativa de remoção de umidade selecionada).

Methods: Thirty-four healthy men aged 18-25 years had their food intake estimated by 4-day food record within one week following 24-hour dietary recall in a cross-sectional study. Resting metabolic rate was assessed by indirect calorimetry and Energy Expenditure was estimated by physical activity records completed simultaneously with food intake records. The validity of food records was determined by direct comparison of Energy Intake and Energy Expenditure (95% confidence interval for Energy Intake/Energy Expenditure). Results: There were good agreements between the measurements of energy and macronutrient intakes by 24-hour dietary recall and 4-day food record at the group level, but not at the individual level. Compared to energy expenditure, about 20% and 9% of participants underreported their Energy Intake by 4-day food record and 24-hour dietary recall, respectively. Over 30% of underreporters of Energy Intake estimated by 24-hour dietary recall underreported Energy Intake estimated by 4-day food record. Conclusion: Both diet methods, 24-hour dietary recall and 4-day food record, may be used to collect data at the group level, but not at the individual level. Both methods, however, appear to underestimate Energy Intake. Underreporting may be subject-specific and appears that is more difficult to retrieve valid dietary data from some people than others.

To accomplish this task, we estimate two econometric models: the fixed-effects model proposed by Deschênes and Greenstone (2007) and the hedonic model proposed by Mendelsohn et al. (1994). Both models are estimated for a panel of municipalities covering the period 1970-1995. Simulation results suggest that the overall impact of climate change will be quite modest for the Brazilian agriculture in the medium term, but these impacts are considerably more severe in the long term.

Research data keyboard_double_arrow_right Dataset 2024Publisher:Zenodo Authors: Vaz, Igor Catão Martins; Ghisi, Enedir; Thives, Liseane Padilha; Vieira, Abel Silva; +8 AuthorsVaz, Igor Catão Martins; Ghisi, Enedir; Thives, Liseane Padilha; Vieira, Abel Silva; Rupp, Ricardo Forgiarini; da Rosa, Aline Schaefer; Flores, Rafael Almeida; Bastos, Matheus Bruhns; Marinoski, Deivis Luis; Silva, Arthur Santos; Weeber, Max; Invidiata, Andrea;(English) 1. Introduction This project aims to address the impacts of climate change on the built environment by developing a set of future Brazilian EPW (Energy Plus Weather Format) files and a dashboard to interpret and evaluate the data. The future climate files were obtained using the Future Weather Generator (FWG) [1] with climate projections for Brazilian cities, integrating these projections into a code pipeline for automation. In this part of the project, thermal comfort indices, such as the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) and the Discomfort Index (DI), were also evaluated to understand future thermal comfort conditions. The methodology followed the structure available in the future-EPW-analysis repository: Climate-One-Building (COB) web-scrapping for all available Brazilian EPW files (we recommend doing this carefully so as not to damage the COB infrastructure); Automatic organisation of all EPW files in a folder, extracting them from the ZIP format; Simulation of future climate files using FutureWeatherGenerator [1] in a line of code with default parameters (shown in Table 1); Organisation of all available EPWs (original and simulated) in a single database; Calculation of thermal comfort indices using pythermalcomfort [2]. The main objective is to provide researchers, policymakers and professionals with a comprehensive tool for assessing and mitigating the impacts of climate change in different Brazilian cities, offering accurate data for thermal comfort and energy efficiency modelling. The methodology involves generating future EPW files, validating them against existing literature and visualising the results through a user-friendly dashboard. The study highlights the importance of adaptive and climate-resilient strategies in urban planning and building design. Expected climate changes in Brazil include increased dry bulb temperature and variations in relative humidity, radiation and wind speed in the different bioclimatic zones. The dashboard has been designed to simplify the visualisation of future climate data, focusing on the main climate variables, thermal comfort indices and data visualisation. It allows users to filter by city and automatically calculate all the indices, providing detailed analyses and comparisons of different scenarios. By offering a free, open-access, multi-platform, extensible, customisable and easy-to-maintain tool, the project aims to facilitate continuous updates, new features and corrections. This tool supports decision-making in public policy and urban planning, promoting a more sustainable and resilient built environment in the face of climate change. 2. Further details on the methodology Details on how the indices were selected and how the study was conducted may be found in Vaz et al. [3]. The GitHub repository in future-EPW-analysis [4] also includes details on the step-by-step procedures.

Introdução Este projeto tem como objetivo abordar os impactos das mudanças climáticas no ambiente construído, desenvolvendo um conjunto de futuros arquivos EPW (Energy Plus Weather Format) brasileiros e um dashboard para interpretar e avaliar os dados. Os arquivos climáticos futuros foram obtidos com o Future Weather Generator (FWG) [1] com projeções climáticas para cidades brasileiras, integrando essas projeções a um pipeline de código para automação. Nessa parte do projeto, os índices de conforto térmico, como o Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) e o Discomfort Index (DI), também foram avaliados para entender as condições futuras de conforto térmico. A metodologia seguiu a estrutura que está disponível no repositório future-EPW-analysis: Web-scrapping do Climate-One-Building (COB) para todos os arquivos EPW brasileiros disponíveis (recomendamos fazer isso com cuidado para não prejudicar a infraestrutura do COB); Organização automática de todos os arquivos EPW em uma pasta, extraindo-os do formato ZIP; Simulação dos arquivos climáticos futuros por meio do FutureWeatherGenerator [1] em linha de código com parâmetros padrão (mostrados na Tabela 1); Organização de todos os EPW disponíveis (originais e simulados) em um único banco de dados; Cálculo dos índices de conforto térmico com o pythermalcomfort [2]. O objetivo principal é fornecer a pesquisadores, formuladores de políticas e profissionais uma ferramenta abrangente para avaliar e mitigar os impactos das mudanças climáticas em diferentes cidades brasileiras, oferecendo dados precisos para modelagem de conforto térmico e eficiência energética. A metodologia envolve a geração de futuros arquivos EPW, validando-os com a literatura existente e visualizando os resultados por meio de um dashboard de fácil utilização. O estudo destaca a importância de estratégias adaptativas e resistentes ao clima no planejamento urbano e no projeto de edificações. As mudanças climáticas esperadas no Brasil incluem o aumento da temperatura de bulbo seco e variações na umidade relativa, radiação e velocidade do vento nas diferentes zonas bioclimáticas. O dashboard foi projetado para simplificar a visualização dos dados climáticos futuros, concentrando-se nas principais variáveis climáticas, índices de conforto térmico e visualização dos dados. Ele permite que os usuários filtrem por cidade e calculem automaticamente todos os índices, fornecendo análises detalhadas e comparações de diferentes cenários. Ao oferecer uma ferramenta gratuita, de acesso aberto, multiplataforma, extensível, personalizável e de fácil manutenção, o projeto visa a facilitar atualizações contínuas, novos recursos e correções. Essa ferramenta apoia a tomada de decisões em políticas públicas e planejamento urbano, promovendo um ambiente construído mais sustentável e resiliente em face das mudanças climáticas. 2. Mais detalhes sobre a metodologia Detalhes sobre a seleção dos índices de conforto e como o estudo foi conduzido podem ser encontrados em Vaz et al. [3].

O objetivo deste artigo é lançar luzes sobre as implicações da mudança climática para as organizações. Para fazer frente a esse debate, são explorados: o conceito de "inteligência ambiental" (IA); as estratégias por meio das quais as organizações fazem frente ao desafio da mudança climática; as oportunidades que explicam a adoção dessas estratégias; e o papel fornecido pela função produção para que tais estratégias possuam o efeito desejado. Por fim, tais conceitos são sistematizados, buscando-se uma integração dos modelos teóricos existentes, até então considerados de maneira estanque.The aim of this paper is to enlighten the implications of climate change for organizations. To deal with this subject, the follow issues are analyzed: concept of environmental intelligence; opportunities which justify the adoption of these strategies, and the main role performed by the production function to implement such strategies. Finally, concepts of prior theoretical models are taken into account.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.eudescription Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article , Journal 2011Publisher:Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul Authors: Marcus Vinicius Alves Finco; Werner Doppler;Biofuel production has been greatly discussed in Brazil. In 2004, these debates led the country to develop new policies and implement a national program for biodiesel use and production (PNPB) with the intent to increase the share of renewable energy and foster regional development. In this context, the present study aims to assess the impacts of PNPB on regional development in Tocantins State, northern Brazil. For this purpose, ranges of socio-economic indicators were collected among national and regional stakeholders, as well as specific literature. The preliminary results point out that distribution logistics appears to be a considerable constraint to the success of the PNPB. The concentration of biodiesel industries in the central-west region of the country, and the large distances to deliver biodiesel in the northern Brazil make biodiesel prices non-competitive when compared to fossil diesel. The results also suggest that the PNPB is not succeeding in promoting the integration of family agriculture in the Tocantins state, especially due to the structural difficulty of the agricultural sector, as well as the technical and political shortcomings presented by the mechanism of incentives.

The coatings were densified at 600, 800 and 1000°C and characterized by X-rays diffraction. The influence of the coatings on the corrosion behavior of the substrate was tested in 3% NaCl by potentiodynamic polarization curves at 1 mV s(-1). The electrochemical results showed that the films densified at 800 and 1000°C have a better electrochemical behavior than the films densified at 600°C. An increase in the aluminium content improves the behavior of the coatings. -

Other actors have also begun to develop their own initiatives in relation to public matters, and this also applies to the environmental agenda. In this context, this article aims to develop an approach to public sector initiatives aimed at the environment by examining the experiences of the Public Management and Citizenship program database and the recent activities of the Friends of the Amazon Network. The conclusion is that such an approach should consider at least three elements: Transversality - environmental impacts involve different areas of knowledge and governmental action; No Neutrality - understanding environmental impacts involves negotiation in the public arena; Governance - environmental issues require coordination and relationships between different actors.

The sun has an extremely important role in the existence of human beings, and Brazil has a privileged geographical position to explore sunlight. The union of these two factors favors the use of solar cells for converting solar energy into electricity by photovoltaic technology: it is a great alternative energy source, especially for being a clean one, causing less damage to the environment. This paper addresses the photovoltaic technology with a focus on hospitals, through case studies found in international literature, because hospitals, even running all important services to society, have a potential for pollution capable of causing damage to human health and the environment that is around them. It is estimated that the Brazilian oil reserves are sufficient for twenty-two years. This makes the search for alternative sources for power generation a necessity.

Os subprodutos biogás e lodo foram caracterizados em termos quantitativos (produção) e qualitativos (composição e poder calorífico) durante 12 meses de monitoramento. Foram estudados dois cenários de aproveitamento energético dos subprodutos: (i) uso prioritário do biogás para a secagem térmica do lodo e o excedente de biogás para geração de eletricidade em motor de combustão interna; e (ii) uso prioritário do biogás visando à geração de eletricidade e ao aproveitamento do calor dos gases de exaustão para a secagem térmica de lodo. Para a análise desses cenários, utilizou-se o software CHEMCAD® a fim de determinar as condições de queima do biogás em câmara de combustão e em motor de combustão interna, assim como na determinação dos balanços de massa e energia. O estudo analisou o potencial de aproveitamento dos subprodutos do tratamento como fonte de energia renovável para uso na própria ETE e para fornecimento a terceiros. No cenário 1, a geração de eletricidade é menor (atendendo 22,2% da demanda de energia da ETE), mas a secagem térmica possibilita maior redução no volume final de lodo a ser disposto ou a eliminação completa de disposição final se o lodo seco final (com 10% de umidade) for utilizado como combustível por terceiros. No cenário 2, a geração de eletricidade é capaz de suprir 57,6% da demanda de energia da ETE, todavia o calor contido nos gases de exaustão não é suficiente para a secagem de todo o lodo desaguado, configurando uma menor redução na quantidade de lodo a ser disposto (13,5 ou 24,9% de redução em massa, conforme a alternativa de remoção de umidade selecionada).

Methods: Thirty-four healthy men aged 18-25 years had their food intake estimated by 4-day food record within one week following 24-hour dietary recall in a cross-sectional study. Resting metabolic rate was assessed by indirect calorimetry and Energy Expenditure was estimated by physical activity records completed simultaneously with food intake records. The validity of food records was determined by direct comparison of Energy Intake and Energy Expenditure (95% confidence interval for Energy Intake/Energy Expenditure). Results: There were good agreements between the measurements of energy and macronutrient intakes by 24-hour dietary recall and 4-day food record at the group level, but not at the individual level. Compared to energy expenditure, about 20% and 9% of participants underreported their Energy Intake by 4-day food record and 24-hour dietary recall, respectively. Over 30% of underreporters of Energy Intake estimated by 24-hour dietary recall underreported Energy Intake estimated by 4-day food record. Conclusion: Both diet methods, 24-hour dietary recall and 4-day food record, may be used to collect data at the group level, but not at the individual level. Both methods, however, appear to underestimate Energy Intake. Underreporting may be subject-specific and appears that is more difficult to retrieve valid dietary data from some people than others.

Para este fim, são estimados dois modelos econométricos: o modelo de efeitos fixos, segundo a metodologia desenvolvida por Deschênes e Greenstone (2007), e o modelo de preços hedônicos proposto por Mendelsohn et al. (1994). Ambos os modelos são estimados utilizando dados de painel para os municípios brasileiros no período de 1970-1995. Os resultados das simulações sugerem que o impacto das mudanças climáticas no setor agrícola brasileiro será relativamente modesto no médio prazo. Contudo, estes impactos tendem a tornar-se significativamente mais severos no longo prazo--------------------------This paper aims at estimating the effects of climate change on the Brazilian agriculture both in terms of agricultural profitability and land values. To accomplish this task, we estimate two econometric models: the fixed-effects model proposed by Deschênes and Greenstone (2007) and the hedonic model proposed by Mendelsohn et al. (1994). Both models are estimated for a panel of municipalities covering the period 1970-1995. Simulation results suggest that the overall impact of climate change will be quite modest for the Brazilian agriculture in the medium term, but these impacts are considerably more severe in the long term.
