- Gestão técnica de edifícios com KNXPublication . Santos, DomingosA eficiencia energetica dos edificios e cada vez mais uma das prioridades nas agendas dos gestores comercias dos edifícios e proprietarios. Em parte deve-se ao processo de certificacao energetica dos edificios, que entrou em vigor em 2007, atraves dos Decretos de Lei 78/2006, 79/2006 e 80/2006. A solucao passa agora pela poupanca continua de energia atraves de uma eficiente Gestao Tecnica de Edificios.
- A smart layer for remote laboratoriesPublication . Costa, Ricardo J.; Alves, Gustavo R.; Santos, DomingosSince the mid 90’s, there is a growing number of remote labs available through the Internet. Several solutions for harmonizing the software and hardware used for implementing this resource have already been proposed and described in literature. However, the present and perceived situation is the lack of such a thing like a standard approach to implement a remote lab, both in terms of hardware and software. This is also true when considering two common aspects to all remote labs: the physical space occupied by each and the power supply to the hardware used in it. In this paper we try to address these two common aspects by proposing the use of a standard domotic system, usually used in smart homes, able to control both the physical environment associated to the remote lab and the power supply to the devices and apparatus used on the experiments hosted at such remote lab.
- A smart layer for remote laboratoriesPublication . Costa, Ricardo J.; Alves, Gustavo R.; Santos, DomingosCommonly, when a weblab is developed to support remote experiments in sciences and engineering courses, a particular hardware/software architecture is implemented. However, the existence of several technological solutions to implement those architectures difficults the emergence of a standard, both at hardware and software levels. While particular solutions are adopted assuming that only qualified people may implement a weblab, the control of the physical space and the power consumption are often forgotten. Since controlling these two previous aspects may increase the quality of the weblab hosting the remote experiments, this paper proposes the useof a new layer implemented by a domotic system bus with several devices (e.g. lights, power sockets, temperature sensors, and others) able to be controlled through the Internet. We also provide a brief proof-of-concept in the form of a weblab equipped with a simple domotic system usually implemented in smart houses. The added value to the remote experiment hosted at the weblab is also identified in terms of power savings and environment conditions.
