University Community Engagement in Technologies for Sustainability: a Social Architecture.
Researcher
The goal for the funding by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation is to encourage changes in the behavior of ISCTE-IUL campus users to reduce energy consumption and improve campus environmental sustainability. It will combine knowledge of Psychology, Engineering, Architecture and Informatics, involving the entire ISCTE-IUL community and will be implemented IoT strategies, behavioral economics and gamification with the connection to BIM models. The project is developed over 4 sequential phases:    1st stage: Diagnosis of the current situation: a. Analysis of the ISCTE-IUL community's perception of environmental sustainability; B. Installation of sensors to measure the energy performance of ISCTEIUL users (eg temperature, humidity, luminosity, noise and power consumption).    Goals:   1) Diagnosis of community perception based on surveys of the target population. Feedback received will serve to identify the main requirements and approaches of our platform. Indicators - Report with variables, data collection and analysis. Goals - Evaluate a representative sample of non-teaching staff, teachers, students and visitors.   2) Real-time collection of sensor data and respective analysis on IoT platform for identification of patterns and behaviors. Indicators - reading real-time data identification patterns. Weekly, monthly, yearly reports. Real-time information on mobile devices. Goals - installation of measurements in 20 locations (reading energy, air quality, luminosity, temperature, noise).    2nd phase: Definition of objectives for the reduction of energy consumption, taking into account the quantitative and qualitative baseline built in the 1st phase of the project related to the calculation of the ecological footprint (consumption) by individual, room, department, building. Indicators - consumption metrics by person, room, department and building. Behavior analysis and its quantification Goals - Perceived behavior and organization of a workshop to disseminate ...
