description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2010Publisher:Universidade Federal de São Carlos Authors: Luci Ines Bassetto;O presente trabalho trata dos conceitos e práticas da Responsabilidade Social e Sustentabilidade Empresarial. Estabeleceu-se como objetivo geral demonstrar como a COPEL está inserindo tais práticas em sua gestão da Responsabilidade Social e Sustentabilidade. Neste sentido, foram propostos os seguintes objetivos específicos: a)Identificar e caracterizar os indicadores e relatórios de prestação de contas utilizados na empresa COPEL para medir e apresentar os resultados de sua gestão sustentável; b) Identificar e analisar as ações sustentáveis executadas pela empresa. Como instrumento de análise adotou-se o Relatório de Gestão de 2005. A análise indicou um grande esforço da COPEL no sentido de inserir-se como empresa de Responsabilidade Social incorporando o conceito do Instituto Ethos para desenvolvimento de seu modelo de gestão. E, como empresa sustentável, implementando ações por meio das seguintes plataformas: como signatária do Pacto Global; como empresa sustentável por meio do ISE- BOVESPA 2005, adoção de alguns princípios dos Objetivos do Milênio e Norma AA 1000. O principal indicador utilizado para a análise foi a GRI adotada na forma "de acordo". Ao atender a todos os princípios da GRI para elaboração de Relatório, a análise indicou que, embora sendo o primeiro Relatório, a COPEL encontra-se em estágio bem avançado na implementação de indicadores. Para um ambiente que requer que o resultado econômico seja obtido da integração de ações sociais e ambientais, os dados coletados a respeito, da forma como estão apresentados, não permitiram identificar a integração das ações sociais e ambientais ao resultado econômico, sendo que as diretrizes da GRI (INSTITUTO ETHOS, 2002) não avançaram ainda para esse grau de detalhamento.This work deals with the concepts and practices of Social Responsibility and Corporate Sustainability. The main goal of this study is to show how COPEL has been adopting such practices as part of its Social Responsibility and Sustainability management. In this sense, we proposed the following specific objectives: a) identify and characterize COPEL's indicators and accounting reports to measure and present the results of its sustainable management and b) Identify and analyze the sustainable actions performed by the company. The 2005 Management Report was used as an analysis tool. The analysis indicated COPEL's great deal of effort to meet social responsibility requirements by incorporating the concept of the Instituto Ethos Institute to develop its management model and, as sustainable business, implementing actions through the following platforms: as a signatory of the Global Compact, as a company sustainable through BOVESPA ISE-2005, and the adoption of certain principles of the Millennium Development Goals and AA 1000 standard. The main indicator used in the analysis was in accordance with the GRIs. By meeting all principles of GRI to prepare the report, although being the first report, the analysis indicated that COPEL is very advanced in terms of implementation of indicators. For an environment that requires that the economic result are obtained by integrating social and environmental actions, the data collected failed to identify the integration of social and environmental actions with the economic results since the guidelines GRI (INSTITUTO ETHOS, 2002) have not yet advanced to that degree of detail.

As medidas de eficiência assumem um papel de tal forma preponderante na redução das necessidades de consumo que, através da captação de energias renováveis, se torna possível alcançar um balanço de energia zero. Actualmente, a abordagem mais comum é usar a rede pública como fonte e dissipador dessa energia eléctrica. O conceito tem-se expandido de forma notória, dentro ou fora do território nacional, sendo hoje possível aprendermos os conceitos inerentes aos edifícios de energia zero a partir de importantes projectos, como é exemplo disso o edifício Solar XXI em Lisboa. Este documento procura abordar o tema de forma prática e acessível, do ponto de vista das preocupações da arquitectura. Para isso, contribui um caso de estudo que pretende compor uma lógica integradora de várias estratégias determinantes no comportamento térmico do edifício, com intenções de arquitetura contemporânea que se querem fiéis aos seus princípios. A nearly zero-energy building (nzeb) is a sort of building that produces as much or more energy than it consumes in an average year. The efficiency measures play an important role to reduce energy consumption such that the balance of energy needs can be supplied with renewable technologies in order to reach a zero energy result. Today’s approach is usually to use the public grid as a source and a way to dissipate this electric energy. This concept has been spreading in a notorious way in and outside our national territory. With this intention, it is possible today to learn the underlying concepts of the energy zero buildings through several projects, such as the Solar XXI building in Lisbon. This Document approaches this subject in a practical and accessible way, from the point of view of architecture concerns. Additionally it contributes with a case study that develops a set of several strategies that are determinant in the building’s thermal behaviour alongside with contemporary architecture intentions that are supposed to follow their own principles.

Sediment samples were gathered from the margin and in center of three subsystems: Ivinheima, Paraná and Baia, in August/2001. The samples were fractionated granulometrically and separated by size (< 200 µm; 70-200 µm; > 70 µm), prepared and sent to CENA / USP, for identifying the isotopes proportions. Significant differences were detected in the isotopic ratios of the sediment only between sampling stations. The Baía channel presented the lowest delta13C values, while the highest ones were recorded in Paraná river. At this last, delta15N values were negative (-14.41‰). We did not verify significant difference in isotopic composition between the particle sizes of sediment, and between the sampling points. The main sources of carbon for the sediment were C3 macrophytes, periphyton and particulate organic carbon (POC).

Currently there is a growing concern about climate change resulting from increased CO2 emissions, leading to an increasing demand of buildings that are more sustainable and energy efficient. The AEC industry have been acquiring more demanding standards of sustainability and energy efficiency, requiring analysis processes to be more complex and integrated with each other. Therefore, it has become vital to implement BIM, enabling greater efficiency in the collaborative process between actors. Thus, the use of BIM can contribute to sustainability through forecasting energy consumption and their usage costs with credibility, reliability and consistency of results. The study of the benefits and barriers to the introduction of BIM in energy analysis of buildings and the analysis of the interoperability between BIM tools and specialized software for energy analysis becomes relevant, as well as the study of workflows that provide good efficiency, which will boost its correct implementation in the AEC industry Currently there is a growing concern about climate change resulting from increased CO2 emissions, leading to an increasing demand of buildings that are more sustainable and energy efficient.

We present the current situation and perspectives of distributed generation in Brazil. Besides that, we developed a financial analysis of grid-tie photovoltaic systems, considering factors such as local solar radiation and conventional energy cost, using data from the National Agency of Electrical Energy (ANEEL). Overall, the usage of photovoltaic systems in Brazil is economically attractive. Despite this, we have to discuss the impacts on the electrical network that might happen due to energy supply variability and economic losses of electric companies and users. However, we show that there is still a lot of room for development of photovoltaic systems in Brazil, especially within regions with high solar radiation.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.eudescription Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Master thesis 2022 PortugalAuthors: Sousa, Afonso Marques de;Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Mecânica apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia O conforto térmico é algo cada vez mais valorizado pelo ser humano, sendo fundamental para a sua produtividade e o seu bem-estar. Porém, assegurar condições de conforto térmico tem consequências energéticas, económicas e ambientais. Os órgãos de governo da União Europeia consideram que o aumento da eficiência energética dos edifícios é algo de extrema importância, devido a estes serem grandes consumidores de energia. Logo, um método eficaz de reduzir custos energéticos e económicos e impactos ambientais passa por tornar os edifícios muito eficientes energeticamente. A eficiência energética de um edifício está diretamente relacionada com a qualidade das suas soluções construtivas. Uma forma de melhorar as características das soluções construtivas é o uso de isolamento térmico, de modo a diminuir as trocas de calor entre o exterior e o interior de um edifício. O presente estudo tinha como objetivo a realização de uma análise económica, energética e ambiental da aplicação do isolamento térmico aos edifícios do continente europeu. Esta análise permitiu compreender a influência da aplicação de isolamento térmico na eficiência energética dos edifícios e assim perceber a influência desta medida nos custos energéticos, económicos e ambientais do ciclo de vida completo dos edifícios localizados no continente europeu. Adicionalmente, fez-se uma verificação de qual o material isolante térmico mais adequado. A análise foi efetuada segundo as perspetivas económica, energética e ambiental. Os custos do conforto térmico dependem da tipologia de uso do edifício e do tipo de clima. Assim, de forma a representar as tipologias do edificado europeu foram selecionados seis edifícios diferentes, sendo estes: um apartamento e uma moradia (edifícios residenciais), uma clínica (edifício de serviços com funcionamento permanente), uma escola e uma agência bancária (edifícios de serviços com funcionamento intermitente) e um supermercado (edifício de comércio com funcionamento intermitente. Para representar o clima do continente europeu foram selecionadas 5 localizações, em função do número de graus-dia de aquecimento e de arrefecimento, envolvendo assim 5 tipos de clima: Málaga (quente), Lisboa (moderado), Valladolid (frio), Varsóvia (muito frio), Reykjavik (extremamente frio). Recorreu-se à folha de cálculo CalProTerm para a obtenção das propriedades termofísicas das soluções construtivas opacas e ao software SEnergEd para a realização da simulação do comportamento energético, económico e ambiental do ciclo de vida dos edifícios. A versão do software SEnergEd disponibilizada não realizava a análise ambiental do ciclo de vida do edifício, pelo que foi necessário proceder à implementação desta vertente, munindo este software com os algoritmos necessários à realização do cálculo de impactos ambientais.Os resultados obtidos mostram, em termos muito genéricos, que a aplicação de isolamento térmico à envolvente opaca dos edifícios do continente europeu é mais benéfica em termos energéticos e em termos ambientais do que sob a perspetiva económica. Adicionalmente, a espessura ótima de isolamento térmico depende da tipologia de edifício, do tipo de clima e da perspetiva com que foi efetuada a análise (energética, ambiental ou económica). Thermal comfort is something increasingly valued by the human being, being fundamental for their productivity and well-being. However, ensuring thermal comfort conditions has energy, economic and environmental consequences. The Governing Bodies of the European Union consider that increasing the energy efficiency of buildings is extremely important, especially due to being one of the major energy consumers. Therefore, an effective method of reducing energy and economic costs and environmental impacts is to make buildings very energy efficient. The energy efficiency of a building is directly related to the quality of its constructive solutions. One way to improve the characteristics of constructive solutions is the use of thermal insulation, so as to decrease heat exchanges between the outside and the interior of a building.The present study aimed to carry out an economic, energy and environmental analysis of the application of thermal insulation to buildings on the European continent. This analysis made it possible to understand the influence of the application of thermal insulation on the energy efficiency of buildings and thus to understand the influence of this measure on the energy, economic and environmental costs of the complete life cycle of buildings located on the European continent. Additionally, a verification was made of which is the most suitable thermal insulating material. The analysis was carried out according to the economic, energy and environmental perspectives. Thermal comfort costs depend on the type of use of the building and the type of climate. Thus, to represent the typologies of European buildings, six different buildings were selected, namely: an apartment and a house (residential buildings), a clinic (service building with permanent operation), a school and a bank branch (buildings of services with intermittent operation) and a supermarket (commercial building with intermittent operation. To represent the climate of the European continent, 5 locations were selected, depending on the number of degree-days of heating and cooling, thus involving 5 types of climate: Malaga (hot), Lisbon (moderate), Valladolid (cold), Warsaw (very cold), Reykjavik (extremely cold).The CalProTerm spreadsheet was used to obtain the thermophysical properties of the opaque constructive solutions, the SEnergEd software was used to simulate the energy, economic and environmental behavior of the buildings' life cycle. The version of the SEnergEd software initially available did not carry out the environmental analysis of the building's life cycle, therefore it was necessary to implement this aspect, providing this software with the algorithms necessary to carry out the calculation of environmental impacts.The results obtained showed, in very general terms, that the application of thermal insulation to the opaque envelope of buildings on the European continent is more beneficial in energy and environmental terms than from an economic perspective. Additionally, the optimal thickness of thermal insulation depends on the type of building, the type of climate and the perspective from which the analysis was carried out (energy, environmental or economic).

Durante o 5º Congresso Nacional de Medicina Tropical foram discutidos alguns pontos centrais desta área: investigação, implementação e financiamento. O objetivo deste artigo é, com base nas ideias apresentadas e do debate gerado, refletir sobre cada um dos temas, sobressaindo os aspetos mais relevantes para a atualidade e futuro das parcerias em saúde global. O artigo tem por base as apresentações, a discussão gerada e a revisão bibliográfica sobre as três temáticas centrais referidas. As parcerias em saúde global pretendem reverter e superar as assimetrias Norte/Sul em diversos níveis: capacitação, acesso, conhecimento, financiamento, investigação, ensino e desenvolvimento de ciência; contribuindo para a construção de uma sociedade baseada no conhecimento e com vista ao desenvolvimento sustentável e cobertura universal em saúde. Estas parcerias são crescentemente reconhecidas como um elemento fundamental para alcançar os ODS, existindo, no entanto, a necessidade de assegurar que não prejudicam nenhum dos intervenientes. Devem ser equilibradas e simétricas, espelhando os interesses de todas as partes envolvidas, reforçando as capacidades existentes e prezando pela transparência e inclusão de todos os parceiros em todas as fases. Assim, as parcerias em saúde global poderão ser verdadeiramente efetivas, levando a novas formas de articulação, implementação e financiamento. Partnerships in global health stand in an important position when discussing global health. During the 5th National Congress of Tropical Medicine, some central themes in this area were discussed: research, implementation and funding. This paper aims to reflect upon each theme, highlighting the most relevant aspects for the future and present of global health partnerships. It is based on the various presentations and the ensuing discussion, also relying on a literature review on the referred three central themes. Global health partnerships aim to reverse and overcome the North/South asymmetries at different levels: training, access, knowledge, funding, research, education and science development; contributing towards the construction of a knowledge-based society, aiming at sustainable development and universal health coverage. These partnerships are increasingly understood as critical to attaining all SDGs, but there is also the need to ensure that they do not harm any of the stakeholders. They must be balanced and symmetrical, reflecting the interests of all parties involved, fostering the inclusion of all partners in every stage. Therefore, partnerships in global health may be truly effective, leading to innovative ways of articulation, implementation and funding. publishersversion published

description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2010Publisher:Universidade Federal de São Carlos Authors: Luci Ines Bassetto;O presente trabalho trata dos conceitos e práticas da Responsabilidade Social e Sustentabilidade Empresarial. Estabeleceu-se como objetivo geral demonstrar como a COPEL está inserindo tais práticas em sua gestão da Responsabilidade Social e Sustentabilidade. Neste sentido, foram propostos os seguintes objetivos específicos: a)Identificar e caracterizar os indicadores e relatórios de prestação de contas utilizados na empresa COPEL para medir e apresentar os resultados de sua gestão sustentável; b) Identificar e analisar as ações sustentáveis executadas pela empresa. Como instrumento de análise adotou-se o Relatório de Gestão de 2005. A análise indicou um grande esforço da COPEL no sentido de inserir-se como empresa de Responsabilidade Social incorporando o conceito do Instituto Ethos para desenvolvimento de seu modelo de gestão. E, como empresa sustentável, implementando ações por meio das seguintes plataformas: como signatária do Pacto Global; como empresa sustentável por meio do ISE- BOVESPA 2005, adoção de alguns princípios dos Objetivos do Milênio e Norma AA 1000. O principal indicador utilizado para a análise foi a GRI adotada na forma "de acordo". Ao atender a todos os princípios da GRI para elaboração de Relatório, a análise indicou que, embora sendo o primeiro Relatório, a COPEL encontra-se em estágio bem avançado na implementação de indicadores. Para um ambiente que requer que o resultado econômico seja obtido da integração de ações sociais e ambientais, os dados coletados a respeito, da forma como estão apresentados, não permitiram identificar a integração das ações sociais e ambientais ao resultado econômico, sendo que as diretrizes da GRI (INSTITUTO ETHOS, 2002) não avançaram ainda para esse grau de detalhamento.This work deals with the concepts and practices of Social Responsibility and Corporate Sustainability. The main goal of this study is to show how COPEL has been adopting such practices as part of its Social Responsibility and Sustainability management. In this sense, we proposed the following specific objectives: a) identify and characterize COPEL's indicators and accounting reports to measure and present the results of its sustainable management and b) Identify and analyze the sustainable actions performed by the company. The 2005 Management Report was used as an analysis tool. The analysis indicated COPEL's great deal of effort to meet social responsibility requirements by incorporating the concept of the Instituto Ethos Institute to develop its management model and, as sustainable business, implementing actions through the following platforms: as a signatory of the Global Compact, as a company sustainable through BOVESPA ISE-2005, and the adoption of certain principles of the Millennium Development Goals and AA 1000 standard. The main indicator used in the analysis was in accordance with the GRIs. By meeting all principles of GRI to prepare the report, although being the first report, the analysis indicated that COPEL is very advanced in terms of implementation of indicators. For an environment that requires that the economic result are obtained by integrating social and environmental actions, the data collected failed to identify the integration of social and environmental actions with the economic results since the guidelines GRI (INSTITUTO ETHOS, 2002) have not yet advanced to that degree of detail.

As medidas de eficiência assumem um papel de tal forma preponderante na redução das necessidades de consumo que, através da captação de energias renováveis, se torna possível alcançar um balanço de energia zero. Actualmente, a abordagem mais comum é usar a rede pública como fonte e dissipador dessa energia eléctrica. O conceito tem-se expandido de forma notória, dentro ou fora do território nacional, sendo hoje possível aprendermos os conceitos inerentes aos edifícios de energia zero a partir de importantes projectos, como é exemplo disso o edifício Solar XXI em Lisboa. Este documento procura abordar o tema de forma prática e acessível, do ponto de vista das preocupações da arquitectura. Para isso, contribui um caso de estudo que pretende compor uma lógica integradora de várias estratégias determinantes no comportamento térmico do edifício, com intenções de arquitetura contemporânea que se querem fiéis aos seus princípios. A nearly zero-energy building (nzeb) is a sort of building that produces as much or more energy than it consumes in an average year. The efficiency measures play an important role to reduce energy consumption such that the balance of energy needs can be supplied with renewable technologies in order to reach a zero energy result. Today’s approach is usually to use the public grid as a source and a way to dissipate this electric energy. This concept has been spreading in a notorious way in and outside our national territory. With this intention, it is possible today to learn the underlying concepts of the energy zero buildings through several projects, such as the Solar XXI building in Lisbon. This Document approaches this subject in a practical and accessible way, from the point of view of architecture concerns. Additionally it contributes with a case study that develops a set of several strategies that are determinant in the building’s thermal behaviour alongside with contemporary architecture intentions that are supposed to follow their own principles.

Sediment samples were gathered from the margin and in center of three subsystems: Ivinheima, Paraná and Baia, in August/2001. The samples were fractionated granulometrically and separated by size (< 200 µm; 70-200 µm; > 70 µm), prepared and sent to CENA / USP, for identifying the isotopes proportions. Significant differences were detected in the isotopic ratios of the sediment only between sampling stations. The Baía channel presented the lowest delta13C values, while the highest ones were recorded in Paraná river. At this last, delta15N values were negative (-14.41‰). We did not verify significant difference in isotopic composition between the particle sizes of sediment, and between the sampling points. The main sources of carbon for the sediment were C3 macrophytes, periphyton and particulate organic carbon (POC).

Currently there is a growing concern about climate change resulting from increased CO2 emissions, leading to an increasing demand of buildings that are more sustainable and energy efficient. The AEC industry have been acquiring more demanding standards of sustainability and energy efficiency, requiring analysis processes to be more complex and integrated with each other. Therefore, it has become vital to implement BIM, enabling greater efficiency in the collaborative process between actors. Thus, the use of BIM can contribute to sustainability through forecasting energy consumption and their usage costs with credibility, reliability and consistency of results. The study of the benefits and barriers to the introduction of BIM in energy analysis of buildings and the analysis of the interoperability between BIM tools and specialized software for energy analysis becomes relevant, as well as the study of workflows that provide good efficiency, which will boost its correct implementation in the AEC industry Currently there is a growing concern about climate change resulting from increased CO2 emissions, leading to an increasing demand of buildings that are more sustainable and energy efficient.

We present the current situation and perspectives of distributed generation in Brazil. Besides that, we developed a financial analysis of grid-tie photovoltaic systems, considering factors such as local solar radiation and conventional energy cost, using data from the National Agency of Electrical Energy (ANEEL). Overall, the usage of photovoltaic systems in Brazil is economically attractive. Despite this, we have to discuss the impacts on the electrical network that might happen due to energy supply variability and economic losses of electric companies and users. However, we show that there is still a lot of room for development of photovoltaic systems in Brazil, especially within regions with high solar radiation.

Porém, assegurar condições de conforto térmico tem consequências energéticas, económicas e ambientais. Os órgãos de governo da União Europeia consideram que o aumento da eficiência energética dos edifícios é algo de extrema importância, devido a estes serem grandes consumidores de energia. Logo, um método eficaz de reduzir custos energéticos e económicos e impactos ambientais passa por tornar os edifícios muito eficientes energeticamente. A eficiência energética de um edifício está diretamente relacionada com a qualidade das suas soluções construtivas. Uma forma de melhorar as características das soluções construtivas é o uso de isolamento térmico, de modo a diminuir as trocas de calor entre o exterior e o interior de um edifício. O presente estudo tinha como objetivo a realização de uma análise económica, energética e ambiental da aplicação do isolamento térmico aos edifícios do continente europeu. Esta análise permitiu compreender a influência da aplicação de isolamento térmico na eficiência energética dos edifícios e assim perceber a influência desta medida nos custos energéticos, económicos e ambientais do ciclo de vida completo dos edifícios localizados no continente europeu. Adicionalmente, fez-se uma verificação de qual o material isolante térmico mais adequado. A análise foi efetuada segundo as perspetivas económica, energética e ambiental. Os custos do conforto térmico dependem da tipologia de uso do edifício e do tipo de clima. Assim, de forma a representar as tipologias do edificado europeu foram selecionados seis edifícios diferentes, sendo estes: um apartamento e uma moradia (edifícios residenciais), uma clínica (edifício de serviços com funcionamento permanente), uma escola e uma agência bancária (edifícios de serviços com funcionamento intermitente) e um supermercado (edifício de comércio com funcionamento intermitente. Para representar o clima do continente europeu foram selecionadas 5 localizações, em função do número de graus-dia de aquecimento e de arrefecimento, envolvendo assim 5 tipos de clima: Málaga (quente), Lisboa (moderado), Valladolid (frio), Varsóvia (muito frio), Reykjavik (extremamente frio). Recorreu-se à folha de cálculo CalProTerm para a obtenção das propriedades termofísicas das soluções construtivas opacas e ao software SEnergEd para a realização da simulação do comportamento energético, económico e ambiental do ciclo de vida dos edifícios. A versão do software SEnergEd disponibilizada não realizava a análise ambiental do ciclo de vida do edifício, pelo que foi necessário proceder à implementação desta vertente, munindo este software com os algoritmos necessários à realização do cálculo de impactos ambientais.Os resultados obtidos mostram, em termos muito genéricos, que a aplicação de isolamento térmico à envolvente opaca dos edifícios do continente europeu é mais benéfica em termos energéticos e em termos ambientais do que sob a perspetiva económica. Adicionalmente, a espessura ótima de isolamento térmico depende da tipologia de edifício, do tipo de clima e da perspetiva com que foi efetuada a análise (energética, ambiental ou económica). Thermal comfort is something increasingly valued by the human being, being fundamental for their productivity and well-being. However, ensuring thermal comfort conditions has energy, economic and environmental consequences. The Governing Bodies of the European Union consider that increasing the energy efficiency of buildings is extremely important, especially due to being one of the major energy consumers. Therefore, an effective method of reducing energy and economic costs and environmental impacts is to make buildings very energy efficient. The energy efficiency of a building is directly related to the quality of its constructive solutions. One way to improve the characteristics of constructive solutions is the use of thermal insulation, so as to decrease heat exchanges between the outside and the interior of a building.The present study aimed to carry out an economic, energy and environmental analysis of the application of thermal insulation to buildings on the European continent. This analysis made it possible to understand the influence of the application of thermal insulation on the energy efficiency of buildings and thus to understand the influence of this measure on the energy, economic and environmental costs of the complete life cycle of buildings located on the European continent. Additionally, a verification was made of which is the most suitable thermal insulating material. The analysis was carried out according to the economic, energy and environmental perspectives. Thermal comfort costs depend on the type of use of the building and the type of climate. Thus, to represent the typologies of European buildings, six different buildings were selected, namely: an apartment and a house (residential buildings), a clinic (service building with permanent operation), a school and a bank branch (buildings of services with intermittent operation) and a supermarket (commercial building with intermittent operation. To represent the climate of the European continent, 5 locations were selected, depending on the number of degree-days of heating and cooling, thus involving 5 types of climate: Malaga (hot), Lisbon (moderate), Valladolid (cold), Warsaw (very cold), Reykjavik (extremely cold).The CalProTerm spreadsheet was used to obtain the thermophysical properties of the opaque constructive solutions, the SEnergEd software was used to simulate the energy, economic and environmental behavior of the buildings' life cycle. The version of the SEnergEd software initially available did not carry out the environmental analysis of the building's life cycle, therefore it was necessary to implement this aspect, providing this software with the algorithms necessary to carry out the calculation of environmental impacts.The results obtained showed, in very general terms, that the application of thermal insulation to the opaque envelope of buildings on the European continent is more beneficial in energy and environmental terms than from an economic perspective. Additionally, the optimal thickness of thermal insulation depends on the type of building, the type of climate and the perspective from which the analysis was carried out (energy, environmental or economic).

Durante o 5º Congresso Nacional de Medicina Tropical foram discutidos alguns pontos centrais desta área: investigação, implementação e financiamento. O objetivo deste artigo é, com base nas ideias apresentadas e do debate gerado, refletir sobre cada um dos temas, sobressaindo os aspetos mais relevantes para a atualidade e futuro das parcerias em saúde global. O artigo tem por base as apresentações, a discussão gerada e a revisão bibliográfica sobre as três temáticas centrais referidas. As parcerias em saúde global pretendem reverter e superar as assimetrias Norte/Sul em diversos níveis: capacitação, acesso, conhecimento, financiamento, investigação, ensino e desenvolvimento de ciência; contribuindo para a construção de uma sociedade baseada no conhecimento e com vista ao desenvolvimento sustentável e cobertura universal em saúde. Estas parcerias são crescentemente reconhecidas como um elemento fundamental para alcançar os ODS, existindo, no entanto, a necessidade de assegurar que não prejudicam nenhum dos intervenientes. Devem ser equilibradas e simétricas, espelhando os interesses de todas as partes envolvidas, reforçando as capacidades existentes e prezando pela transparência e inclusão de todos os parceiros em todas as fases. Assim, as parcerias em saúde global poderão ser verdadeiramente efetivas, levando a novas formas de articulação, implementação e financiamento. Partnerships in global health stand in an important position when discussing global health. During the 5th National Congress of Tropical Medicine, some central themes in this area were discussed: research, implementation and funding. This paper aims to reflect upon each theme, highlighting the most relevant aspects for the future and present of global health partnerships. It is based on the various presentations and the ensuing discussion, also relying on a literature review on the referred three central themes. Global health partnerships aim to reverse and overcome the North/South asymmetries at different levels: training, access, knowledge, funding, research, education and science development; contributing towards the construction of a knowledge-based society, aiming at sustainable development and universal health coverage. These partnerships are increasingly understood as critical to attaining all SDGs, but there is also the need to ensure that they do not harm any of the stakeholders. They must be balanced and symmetrical, reflecting the interests of all parties involved, fostering the inclusion of all partners in every stage. Therefore, partnerships in global health may be truly effective, leading to innovative ways of articulation, implementation and funding. publishersversion published
