Os edifícios estão a ser construídos com um número crescente de sistemas de automação e controlo não integrados entre si. Esta falta de integração resulta num caos tecnológico, o que cria dificuldades nas três fases da vida de um edifício, a fase de estudo, a de implementação e a de exploração. O desenvolvimento de Building Automation System (BAS) tem como objectivo assegurar condições de conforto, segurança e economia de energia. Em edifícios de grandes dimensões a energia pode representar uma percentagem significativa da factura energética anual. Um BAS integrado deverá contribuir para uma diminuição significativa dos custos de desenvolvimento, instalação e gestão do edifício, o que pode também contribuir para a redução de CO2. O objectivo da arquitectura proposta é contribuir para uma estratégia de integração que permita a gestão integrada dos diversos subsistemas do edifício (e.g. aquecimento, ventilação e ar condicionado (AVAC), iluminação, segurança, etc.). Para realizar este controlo integrado é necessário estabelecer uma estratégia de cooperação entre os subsistemas envolvidos. Um dos desafios para desenvolver um BAS com estas características consistirá em estabelecer a interoperabilidade entre os subsistemas como um dos principais objectivos a alcançar, dado que o fornecimento dos referidos subsistemas assenta normalmente numa filosofia multi-fornecedor, sendo desenvolvidos usando tecnologias heterogéneas. Desta forma, o presente trabalho consistiu no desenvolvimento de uma plataforma que se designou por Building Intelligence Open System (BIOS). Na implementação desta plataforma adoptou-se uma arquitectura orientada a serviços ou Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) constituída por quatro elementos fundamentais: um bus cooperativo, denominado BIOSbus, implementado usando Jini e JavaSpaces, onde todos os serviços serão ligados, disponibilizando um mecanismo de descoberta e um mecanismo que notificada as entidades interessadas sobre alterações do estado de determinado componente; serviços de comunicação que asseguram a abstracção do Hardware utilizado da automatização das diversas funcionalidades do edifício; serviços de abstracção de subsistemas no acesso ao bus; clientes, este podem ser nomeadamente uma interface gráfica onde é possível fazer a gestão integrada do edifício, cliente de coordenação que oferece a interoperabilidade entre subsistemas e os serviços de gestão energética que possibilita a activação de algoritmos de gestão racional de energia eléctrica.

Two new metal- organic compounds {[Cu-3(mu(3)-4-(p)tz)(4)(mu(2)-N-3)(2)(DMF)(2)](DMF)(2)}(n) (1) and {[Cu(4ptz) (2)(H2O)(2)]}(n) (2) {4-ptz = 5-(4-pyridyl)tetrazolate} with 3D and 2D coordination networks, respectively, have been synthesized while studying the effect of reaction conditions on the coordination modes of 4-pytz by employing the [2 + 3] cycloaddition as a tool for generating in situ the 5-substituted tetrazole ligands from 4-pyridinecarbonitrile and NaN3 in the presence of a copper(II) salt. The obtained compounds have been structurally characterized and the topological analysis of 1 discloses a topologically unique trinodal 3,5,6-connected 3D network which, upon further simplification, results in a uninodal 8-connected underlying net with the bcu (body centred cubic) topology driven by the [Cu-3(mu(2)-N-3)(2)] cluster nodes and mu(3)-4-ptz linkers. In contrast, the 2D metal-organic network in 2 has been classified as a uninodal 4-connected underlying net with the sql [Shubnikov tetragonal plane net] topology assembled from the Cu nodes and mu(2)-4-ptz linkers. The catalytic investigations disclosed that 1 and 2 act as active catalyst precursors towards the microwave-assisted homogeneous oxidation of secondary alcohols (1-phenylethanol, cyclohexanol, 2-hexanol, 3-hexanol, 2-octanol and 3-octanol) with tert-butylhydroperoxide, leading to the yields of the corresponding ketones up to 86% (TOF = 430 h(-1)) and 58% (TOF = 290 h(-1)) in the oxidation of 1-phenylethanol and cyclohexanol, respectively, after 1 h under low power ( 10 W) microwave irradiation, and in the absence of any added solvent or additive.

Stair nesting allows us to work with fewer observations than the most usual form of nesting, the balanced nesting. In the case of stair nesting the amount of information for the different factors is more evenly distributed. This new design leads to greater economy, because we can work with fewer observations. In this work we present the algebraic structure of the cross of balanced nested and stair nested designs, using binary operations on commutative Jordan algebras. This new cross requires fewer observations than the usual cross balanced nested designs and it is easy to carry out inference.

Outlining the best strategies for seismic risk mitigation requires that both benefits and costs of retrofitting are known in advance. The assessment of the vulnerability of building typologies is a first step of a more extensive effort, concerning the analysis of the viability of seismic risk mitigation and taking into account retrofitting costs. The methodology adopted to obtain the seismic vulnerability of some classes of residential buildings existing in mainland Portugal is presented. This methodology is based on a structural analysis of individual buildings belonging to the same typology. An application example is presented to illustrate the methodology. Fragility curves of “boxed” building typology are also presented and broken down into three height classes: low rise, medium-rise and high-rise. These curves are based on average capacity spectra derived from several individual buildings belonging to the same typology.

Balanced nesting is the most usual form of nesting and originates, when used singly or with crossing of such sub-models, orthogonal models. In balanced nesting we are forced to divide repeatedly the plots and we have few degrees of freedom for the first levels. If we apply stair nesting we will have plots all of the same size rendering the designs easier to apply. The stair nested designs are a valid alternative for the balanced nested designs because we can work with fewer observations, the amount of information for the different factors is more evenly distributed and we obtain good results. The inference for models with balanced nesting is already well studied. For models with stair nesting it is easy to carry out inference because it is very similar to that for balanced nesting. Furthermore stair nested designs being unbalanced have an orthogonal structure. Other alternative to the balanced nesting is the staggered nesting that is the most popular unbalanced nested design which also has the advantage of requiring fewer observations. However staggered nested designs are not orthogonal, unlike the stair nested designs. In this work we start with the algebraic structure of the balanced, the stair and the staggered nested designs and we finish with the structure of the cross between balanced and stair nested designs.

In the stair nested designs with u factors we have u steps and a(1), ... , a(u) "active" levels. We would have a(1) observations with different levels for the first factor each of them nesting a single level of each of the remaining factors; next a(2) observations with level a(1) + 1 for the first factor and distinct levels for the second factor each nesting a fixed level of each of the remaining factors, and so on. So the number of level combinations is Sigma(u)(i=1) a(i). In meta-analysis joint treatment of different experiments is considered. Joining the corresponding models may be useful to carry out that analysis. In this work we want joining L models with stair nesting.

Stair nesting leads to very light models since the number of their treatments is additive on the numbers of observations in which only the level of one factor various. These groups of observations will be the steps of the design. In stair nested designs we work with fewer observations when compared with balanced nested designs and the amount of information for the different factors is more evenly distributed. We now integrate these models into a special class of models with orthogonal block structure for which there are interesting properties.
