CLIMAEXTREMO: A New Risk Indicator for the Health Risk to Building Occupants du...
Silva, Carlos Santos; Fernandes, Diana Vieira; Gomes, Ricardo; Costa, Francisco Pires; Pinto, Ligia; Scuri, Sabrina; Brito, André; Nunes, BaltazarPortugal is the country in Europe where the death rate in winter and summer has the highest correlation with outdoor temperatures. The Portuguese National Institute of Public Health Ricardo Jorge has developed a national warning system for heat waves called ICARO, which has been in place since 1999 (and is the oldest in Europe). However, it presents some limitations, namely, the low spatial resolution (five reg...

Pestana, Carla; Barros, Luísa; Scuri, Sabrina; Barreto, MaryThe adoption of energy efficiency practices and increased penetration of renewable energy sources in the power system are estimated to play a key role in the decarbonization of the energy sector, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately fight climate change. To foster energy transition, energy education initiatives should primarily target the citizens and be designed adopting a User-Centered Desig...
MyTukxi: low cost smart charging for small scale EVs
Quintal, Filipe; Scuri, Sabrina; Barreto, Mary; Pereira, Lucas; Vasconcelos, Dino; Pestana, DanielAs the electrification of the transportation sector grows the electric grid must handle the new load resulting from electric vehicles (EV) charging. The integration of this new load in the grid has been subject to work in the smart-charging research field, however, while normal-sized EVs often offer chargers or other functions that support smart-charging, smaller EVs do not, which could be problem atic.
