Objectives

JUSTIFICATION

This course aims to complete building facilities concepts, acquired in the area of hydraulics and physics and technology of construction, and synthesize their application in project development / real cases. This application will take into account not only the technical and regulatory requirements, but also the appropriateness of the solutions to the uses and ensuring longevity.

Module A - Transmit a comprehensive knowledge of the facilities necessary for the operation of buildings and constructive implications, including: energy supply, heating and cooling, water supply and sewerage, lighting, elevators, ventilation, communication networks, systems security. Explore the inclusion of renewable energy in buildings.

Module B - Develop the knowledge acquired in the disciplines of Building Physics and Technology of construction of building facilities relating to water supply and sewerage. Define criteria for assessing the conception and design of specialty building networks. Being critical of your work. Analyze and explore methodologies efficiency of individual and collective work. Develop the ability to adapt with the scientific excellence and technological acquired the resolution of concrete situations.

Learning outcomes and competences

Knowledge: Describe the key concepts of the facilities necessary for the operation of buildings, including: energy supply, heating and cooling, water supply and sewerage, lighting, elevators, ventilation, communication networks, security systems.

Comprehension: Interpret and manipulate elements designed and written that are part of construction projects. Identify the characteristics of building elements and associate them with parameters indicators of its performance in terms of functional and economic efficiency. Select operational and corporate liable to use as indicators of level of efficiency.

Application: Establish processes leading to the different solutions conception, design, construction and facilities management in order to identify the most efficient. Calculate and organize information in order to identify best practices. Analysis: Evaluate the results of the application of methodologies so as to enable the choice of the best cost / efficiency. Relate the results of various indicators in order to better identify the interactions between design solutions and the possibility of the practice run, use, maintain and store. Summary: Define solutions that enable improved design and better reflect a constructive solution implementation and its long-term sustainability. Develop proposals for amendment of procedures for the optimization of solutions. Rating: Criticizing the methodologies and concepts used and propose new solutions. Project Engineering: dealing with real elements of design and seek to develop better and more efficient solutions within the trilogy function / cost / benefit. Research in Engineering: identify the various sources of international scientific and technical references and evaluate their applicability in the design and construction in Portugal .. Practice in Engineering: Know and contact information available in real situations and reflect already implemented and its application in the development of solutions.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Lectures: exhibition design concepts and methodologies with the aid of computerized presentations or acetates. During the semester are invited several experts to give lectures on specific themes. Lectures: developing group work. Analysis on concrete issues complementary to the topics covered in lectures and in respect of which it intends to seize the students how to apply them in solving design situations and real constructive. It also promotes the study visit to various companies and / or projects so that students can better acquainted with the products currently used and its manufacturing process and application.

STATEMENT OF CONSISTENCY OF METHODS OF TEACHING WITH LEARNING GOALS OF CURRICULUM UNIT: Establish processes leading to the different solutions conception, design, construction and facilities management in order to identify the most efficient. Calculate and organize information in order to identify best practices. Evaluate the results of the application of methodologies to enable choosing the best cost / efficiency. Relate the results of various indicators in order to better identify the interactions between design solutions and the possibility of the practice run, use, maintain and store.

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation with final exam

Assessment Components

Designation	Weight (%)
Exame	70,00
Trabalho escrito	30,00
Total:	100,00

Eligibility for exams

Achieving final classification requires compliance with attendance at the course unit, according to the MIEC assessment rules. It is considered that students meet the attendance requirements if, having been regularly enrolled, the number of absences of 25% for each of the classes’ types is not exceeded.

Calculation formula of final grade

CAD - Component distributed evaluation - Practical work in developing practical classes within the module B

EF - Final Exam - focuses on the module A (50%) and module B (50%) corresponding to the written test without consultation lasting total of 2 hours.

CF -  final rating: CF = 0.3 X CAD + 0.7 X EF

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

MOBILITY STUDENTS: Students will be evaluated with exam or special assignment

Classification improvement

Improved partial classification by conducting examination, keeping the evaluation obtained in practical work, when the student opted distributed evaluation. In the case of students with overall assessment by examination may need to repeat either the theoretical examination, either the practical or both, according to understand that in which improvement.
