Previous studies have already shown that the use of personalized environmental control systems significantly increases user satisfaction levels in buildings. The purpose of Annex 87 is to establish guidelines and technical reference materials for customized environmental control systems to be incorporated into projects and operating buildings. Furthermore, it aims to quantify the benefits of these systems for health, comfort and energy efficiency.

This section presents the details of the ongoing Annexes with active participation from the LabEEE team.

Annex 80 Resilient Cooling of Buildings (2018-2023)

Here are the details of the ongoing Annexes with active participation from the LabEEE team.

Annex 87 Energy and Indoor Environmental Quality Performance of Personalised Environmental Control Systems (2021 - 2026)

Annex 89 Ways to Implement Net-zero Whole Life Carbon Buildings (2023 - 2027)

With the support of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, the Energy Efficiency Laboratory officially participated in the International Energy Research Program in Buildings and Communities (EBC) of the International Energy Agency (IEA). This program proposes the development of research and development among 26 member countries.

LabEEE carried out the development of bioclimatic zoning for Paraguay as part of Cooperación Técnica #: RG-T3347 Edificios Eficientes, Infraestructura Verde y Provisión de Servicios Ecosistémicos para Enfrentar el Cambio Climático en Ciudades: Una Visión Programática with financing from Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo – BID. The cooperation aimed to develop a sustainable construction manual for social housing in Paraguay, with the participation of several teams of experts from the country as well as external experts. 

This project details the aspects present in the topic of Efficiency and Energy Alternatives of the Decree that establishes the IPTU VERDE Sustainable Certification Program in buildings in the Municipality of Salvador, with the objective of facilitating the understanding and application of the requirements for scoring to the evaluated projects.

hab.labeee is a program that aims to increase the quality of popular housing in Brazil, seeking to understand how we can increase the energy efficiency of homes and the environmental comfort of users, according to their realities.

Project title:

Innovation in the development and construction of Multifamily Social Housing to promote energy efficiency and environmental comfort
 

Seeking to expand cooperation between postgraduate programs of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Brazil and Germany to develop and publish research with greater academic impact, CAPES and DAAD launched the PROBRAL Notice. The notice selected proposals for joint research projects between Brazil and Germany in all areas of knowledge, within the scope of the PROBRAL Program.
