Uma das maiores parcelas da energia consumida está associada aos edifícios, pelo que se torna essencial começar a pôr em prática projetos que permitam a substituição de energia de fontes não renováveis por energia de fontes renováveis e mais sustentáveis, incorporando medidas que permitam aumentar a eficiência energética dos edifícios, satisfazendo as necessidades com, pelo menos, o mesmo grau de conforto. Esta ideia já está patente em alguns edifícios de habitação e de serviços, onde foi implementado o uso de painéis solares e de outras fontes de energias renováveis, ou medidas de eficiência energética. No entanto, a evidente necessidade de construir edifícios públicos com consumo energético global próximo do zero (Near Zero Energy Buildings, nZEB), fez surgir a necessidade de estabelecer requisitos mínimos a satisfazer em edifícios de tipologia distinta, particularmente os de habitação e os de serviços. Os laboratórios, pela diversidade de atividades que neles se realizam, constituem um desafio interessante do ponto de vista energético. Esta dissertação visa contribuir para o estabelecimento de requisitos construtivos e para o projeto de uma estrutura metálica modular, que servirá de base à construção de um laboratório energeticamente eficiente (Zero Energy Laboratory, ZELab). Neste espaço, pretende-se utilizar o máximo possível de fontes de energia renováveis, de um modo natural e integrado. Serão incorporados aspetos da sustentabilidade, quer ao nível da ocupação do espaço, quer ao nível da partilha de conhecimento e aplicação de soluções state-of-the-art. Este será um espaço de estudo, que se pretende vivo e dinâmico, não só da comunidade académica, mas também, e sobretudo, de partilha com a comunidade envolvente, particularmente com as empresas do sector da construção. Resumidamente, este deverá ser um edifício de estudo, com produção e utilização de energia renovável, que deve otimizar os consumos energéticos e de água, aproximandose, portanto, de uma construção sustentável.
The energy consumption in the world is increasing, from which the share of energy consumed in buildings is one of the biggest. Therefore, it is essential to start the implementation of projects to enable the use of energy from renewable and more sustainable sources instead of the conventional non-renewable sources, incorporating measures to improve buildings’ energy efficiency, while satisfying the needs with at least the same degree of comfort. This idea is already evident in some residential buildings and services, which implemented the use of solar panels, among other energy efficiency options. However, the obvious need to build public buildings with overall energy consumption close to zero (Near Zero Energy Buildings, nZEB), raised the need to establish minimum requirements to be met in a different type of buildings, particularly housing and services. The laboratories, in which a diversity of activities frequently occurs, are an interesting challenge from the energy point of view. This work aims to contribute to the establishment of constructive requirements and specifications, and to the design of a modular structure, which will be the basis to build an energy-efficient laboratory (Zero Energy Laboratory, ZELab). In this space, it is intended to use as much as possible renewable energy sources, in a natural and integrated manner. Aspects of sustainability will be incorporated, both in terms of the space occupation, and in terms of sharing knowledge and application of state-of-the-art solutions. This will be a study space that is meant to be alive and dynamic, not only for the academic community, but also and above all, for sharing with the nearby community, particularly in the construction sector.
