EDUCATIONAL PUBLICATIONS
Renewable and/or Energy-Efficient Home Installations
This guide aims to serve as a reference and orientation for building or renovating a home with regard to energy production systems. It details the main sources that serve as alternatives for the replacement/reduction of fossil fuels in a home.
Demonstrative Bioclimatic House Report
This document will describe and justify the demonstrative bioclimatic house project, detailing its origins, objectives, unique features, characteristics, and development.
Electric Bicycle: An Efficient Way to Get Around the City
This publication presents the execution and results of three experiments conducted with an electric bicycle, aiming to obtain data and answer the many questions that may arise regarding this type of vehicle.
For its realization, a single bicycle model was used, employing measurement instruments of limited precision. Nevertheless, the study successfully answers questions about real-world usage scenarios, evaluating the performance and specific characteristics of these vehicles and their suitability for certain journeys.
