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 the first results
Phase 3: Creation of energy reduction incentives for the school community, namely through the application of recommendations of behavioral economics and strategies of gamification. Related to the motivation and reward for changing user behaviors using the collaborative / gamification platform and studies done in the field of psychology; Indicators - reduction of consumption and behavior. Report with comparison with identified patterns before the application approach and after; Goals - Change perceptions and behaviors to promote sustainability; we were able to estimate at this time an interval with the percentages of energy and water that could be reduced. Quantify behavior changes.
Phase 4: Dissemination of the methodology and lessons learned, in view of its potential application in the following contexts: a. In other universities, presenting in this case specific information tailored to different university users (eg students, teaching staff); B. In public and shared buildings, presenting in the latter case the issues that must be considered regarding the types of users of buildings and their motivations for sustainability; W. Impact on architecture at the level of forms (geometries used) and materials. Relate energy and temperature measurements with room geometry, type of materials, solar orientation. Perception of the best relations. Indicators - Gradient analysis of room temperatures based on orientation, geometry and materials used. Energy costs function of the thermal gradient (indoor / outdoor) and number of people present. Analysis of people behaviors in the face of differentiated waste deposition. Goals - indications for future constructions taking into account the energy performance
