Evaluation of the effectiveness of humidity control strategies in preserving a ...
Ribeiro, Júlia Taborda; Saraiva, Nuno Baía; Gaspar, Adélio Rodrigues; Costa, José Joaquim daEnsuring an appropriate and stable indoor environment is of the utmost importance when the preservation of historic heritage buildings and collections is at stake. As hygrothermal conditions are one of the determinant parameters of the indoor environment for safeguarding these valuable assets, their long-term monitoring is imperative in attempting to achieve the requirements established by different guidelines ...
Barriers on Establishing Passive Strategies in Office Spaces: A Case Study in a...
Saraiva, Nuno Baía; Pereira, Luisa Dias; Gaspar, Adélio Rodrigues; Costa, José Joaquim daThe adaptation of spaces to different usage typologies can be complex in heritage buildings. Facilities were initially planned for a specific type of use that, when changed, require additional measures to ensure a suitable indoor environment. Passive strategies—e.g., free cooling—are commonly used as an alternative without requiring equipment installation. However, its implementation often leads to unsatisfacto...

Daylighting simulation of a heritage building by comparing matrix methods and s...
Saraiva, Nuno Baía; Rodrigues, Eugénio; Gaspar, Adélio Rodrigues; Costa, José Joaquim daLighting simulation is a useful instrument in predicting lighting conditions in buildings. Modelers can use several matrix methods according to the buildings’ characteristics and the objectives of the analysis. However, it is unknown which methods are the most appropriate for lighting analysis of heritage buildings. The Joanina Library located in the University of Coimbra – a World Heritage building – was used ...
European contribution to the study of ROS: A summary of the findings and prospe...
Egea, Javier; Fabregat, Isabel; Frapart, Yves M; Ghezzi, Pietro; Görlach, Agnes; Kietzmann, Thomas; Kubaichuk, Kateryna; Knaus, Ulla G.The European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) provides an ideal framework to establish multi-disciplinary research networks. COST Action BM1203 (EU-ROS) represents a consortium of researchers from different disciplines who are dedicated to providing new insights and tools for better understanding redox biology and medicine and, in the long run, to finding new therapeutic strategies to target dysregu...
