By this time there was a procedure of changing in such locations which small gardens in front of the buildings became great leisure areas with a variety of equipments. However, the so- mentioned spaces are part of a series of features in relation to the town progress that are included in it according to the evolution. In order to have a good knowledge of this process, these studies were firstly made in accordance with the history of the town landscape scenery after going through theories of public outer areas and compared with the usage and leisure private area composition. Eventually, cases of each decade were analyzed, so that the image of what had been discussed throughout this paper could be accomplished. In fact, the current position of São Paulo city in the last three decades has required modifications as to the way of living and leisuring; on the other hand, it is quite significant that all this measures be performed in a way to provide good quality of space towards leisure. / A presente dissertação focaliza as áreas de lazer de edifícios residenciais de classe média-média e média-alta desde a década de 1980 à 2007. Neste período ocorreu um processo de modificação nestes espaços que passaram a ser não mais um pequeno jardim em frente à edificação, mas grandes áreas de lazer com equipamentos diversos. No entanto, estes espaços são conseqüências de uma série de fatores relacionados à dinâmica da cidade, os quais são colocados ao longo do trabalho. Para um melhor entendimento deste processo, os estudos se iniciaram através do histórico do paisagismo na cidade, passando por teorias relacionadas à área pública externa e comparando-as ao uso e formulação da área privada de lazer. Por fim foram feitos estudos de casos de cada década, para concretizar a imagem do que foi discutido ao longo da dissertação. A realidade da cidade de São Paulo das últimas três décadas exigiu modificações em relação à forma de morar e recrear, no entanto, é importante que isto se faça de maneira a gerar espaços de qualidade voltados ao lazer.

A cidade de São Paulo, desde o final do século XX, vem sendo marcada pela inauguração de novas formas urbanas, adequadas às exigências da ordem socioeconômica que se instaura a partir de então, como o exemplar surgimento de novas áreas de centralidade aliadas ao avanço do setor terciário. Porém, outras localidades sofreram transformações sócio-espaciais ao longo dos últimos 25 anos, inclusive quanto à valorização imobiliária, o que tem reforçado a apropriação heterogênea e desigual do território e que, portanto, não se restringe à produção de centralidades terciárias, mas vai além em sua diversidade. Um dos casos que mais se destacam na cidade, pela marcante transformação espacial que sofreu, é o alvo desta pesquisa: o Tatuapé. Localizado na zona leste de São Paulo, este bairro, em apenas 20 anos, emergiu como foco de alto padrão e como expressivo pólo comercial, exercendo hoje grande influência na região. Tendo isso em vista, este trabalho se propõe a investigar o movimento de ocupação da área e as suas principais características a fim de verificar como este território de uma industrialização recente se transformou em uma das regiões mais valorizadas da cidade. Com isto, a pesquisa tem por objetivo final conhecer como este processo de valorização do local, apoiado principalmente na produção residencial vertical de luxo por encomenda, levou o território à exclusividade no espaço urbano tanto por sua diferenciação do ponto de vista social, indicando enobrecimento da população local, como do ponto de vista espacial, enunciando um processo único de concentração das camadas de alta renda e até mesmo de segregação urbana na zona leste. Assim, o trabalho inicia pronunciando as transformações que marcaram o final do século em São Paulo e as correspondentes para a zona leste no mesmo período, proporcionando, em seguida, a compreensão histórica da pesquisa para o bairro. Após isto, faz uma análise do mercado imobiliário de edifícios residenciais nos últimos anos, caracterizando esta verticalização que diferencia. Por fim, expõe alguns dos problemas que emergiram após a mudança do perfil da região. Com este trabalho, espera-se que se torne uma referência para a compreensão de fenômenos urbanos recentes e que contribua para os debates que destacam a análise social do espaço, especialmente os estudos da segregação sócioespacial, reanimados com a reestruturação urbana em São Paulo. / The city of Sao Paulo, since the end of the century XX, has appointed to the requirements of the socioeconomic order that establish hereafter, like the emergence of new central areas together of the tertiary sector. But, other localities have suffered social-spatial transformations since the last twenty-five years inclusive about the real estate valorization that has strengthened of the heterogeneous and unequal appropriation of the territory that, hence, it isnt restrict of the centrality tertiary production, but will be beside in your diversity. One of the most important cases for the remarked spatial transformation that suffered is the target of this research: the Tatuapés neighborhood. Located in the east area of Sao Paulo, this neighborhood, in twenty years, emerges like a focus of high standard of living and expressive commercial pole. Nowadays, it exerts big influence in the region. Then, this dissertation propose to investigate the occupation movement of the Tatuapés neighborhood and its principal characteristic to check how this territory, with recently industrialization, graded in one the most appreciated region of the city. The final aim is to know how this process of local valorization supported by the vertical residential production and luxurious and tailor-made buildings took this territory to an exclusive urban space, not only for its differentiation taking into consideration the social point of view, showing the enrichment of the local population, but also taking into consideration the spatial point of view, showing a unique process of concentration of high level social classes and even the urban segregation in the east area of city. Then, the beginning of this dissertation is about the most important transformations of the end of the century in Sao Paulo and in east area, providing, afterwards, the historical comprehension of the research about the Tatuapés neighborhood. Next, it analyses the real estate market of residential buildings in the latest years, characterizing this emblematic verticalization. Finally, it shows some problems that developed after the change of the region profile. This dissertation wants to be a reference for the comprehension of the recent urban phenomenon like this one and wants to contribute to debates that take into account the social analyses of the space, specially the studies about social-spatial segregation, born again with the urban restructure of Sao Paulo.

The aim of the thesis is to select a suitable heat source for a residential building using simulation modeling and multiple-criteria decision analysis. The market is offering plenty of possibilities, thus the part of this thesis is dedicated to description of main characteristics and pros and cons of most common heat sources (e.g. coal, biomass, natural gas, electricity, heat pumps). There are many ways to decide which source is an optimal solution for a house. In this thesis, there are presented four possible approaches: decision based on the analysis of the total costs of the source and the methods WSA, TOPSIS and ELECTRE III. In the end, the results of these methods are summarized together with the qualitative factors which are also considered in the decision making process.

Solar energy is one type of the most commonly used renewable energy sources. It can produce electricity and heat without creating any Greenhouse Gases (GHG). Sweden has set up the goal of 100% electricity generated by the renewable energy source by 2040 and chosen Gotland as a pioneer project for self-electricity supply by renewable energy sources by 2030. Taking the year 2017 as an example, the total electricity production of Gotland in 2017 was about 1080 GWh, a share of 621GWh imported from mainland Sweden, 457GWh produced by Gotland's local wind energy, 1.6GWh produced by local photovoltaic energy and a very small fraction produced by local hydropower. Gotland has a high potential for photovoltaic power. This quantitative research case study used data to collect and a building model to measure the potential electricity production by photovoltaic power at three locations in Visby, Höken, Castor and Skalbaggen. Further, an analysis of the current value of installing photovoltaic panels for a public housing company to increase the capacity of renewable energy to stimulate the target towards 100% electricity from renewable energy sources by 2040. The result indicated that the ratio of production/Consumption at Höken, Castor and Skalbaggen were 73%, 52% and 1000%. According to the calculation, the LCOE of Höken is around about 0.74 to 1.17 SEK/kWh. For Castor, it is from 0.73 to 1.16 SEK/ kWh due to the range of interest rates. For Skalbaggen, it is around 0.70 to 1.11 SEK/ kWh. However, since the current limitation from both technical and legislative sectors were not allowed to transfer electricity between the adjacent building. Further research is required on how to facilitate tenants' use of renewable electricity produced by public housing itself, as well as how to maximize the penetration of smart grids.

The importance of increasing renewable energy production to facilitate a sustainable energy transition has been well-discussed and reinforced worldwide. In land- and resource-scarce and tropical Singapore, solar has been deemed the most feasible renewable energy technology for the country moving forward. Previous studies have focused on assessing the feasibility of various solar technologies. This paper instead analyses the rooftop solar power production potential of existing high-rise residential buildings in Singapore, and thus contributes to reaching the national solar goal using geographic information system geospatial imagery.  For this study, the chosen focus area is the south of Jurong East in Singapore. Results show that solar deployment on all available public high-rise residential building rooftop areas in the focus area will be able to generate a total potential solar peak power and annual solar energy output of 2-megawatt peak and 2.8-gigawatt hour per year respectively. This equates to meeting the energy demand of 679 public residential apartments in the focus area and meeting 0.18% of the national solar goal of reaching 1.5- gigawatt peak by 2025. In an urban context, the use of geospatial analysis has been presented to benefit urban planning especially with regards to the integration of rooftop solar photovoltaic systems.

[pt] Nos últimos anos foi registrado crescimento no consumo energético dos edifícios residenciais, fato marcado pela aceleração gradual do aquecimento global e pelo declínio econômico e ambiental. A eficiência energética vem se apresentando como um vetor estratégico para a sustentabilidade e economia. As tecnologias e a dependência da energia cresceram exponencialmente nos últimos anos, por isso, o tema foi ganhando mais força e atraindo mais consumidores, pois a dependência da população era cada vez maior e não estava sendo acompanhada economicamente. Portanto, essa dissertação tem o objetivo de fomentar através de uma revisão bibliográfica, o progresso da introdução de ações de sustentabilidade na construção. Na presente dissertação são estudadas algumas medidas para ser implementar em um condomínio já existente, localizados no bairro da Tijuca, em Rio de Janeiro, de forma a reduzir consumos energéticos nas áreas comuns dos dois prédios. Foi apresentada uma solução para a produção de energia elétrica a partir de um sistema solar fotovoltaico do tipo On-Grid, analisando o custo de implantação deste sistema, bem como o tempo de retorno do investimento, para finalmente, chegarmos à conclusão sobre a viabilidade da implantação. / [en] Sustainability in the construction sector has gained significant attention in recent years, as the industry recognizes the need for greener and more socially responsible practices. This paradigm shift stems from the understanding that construction activities have a substantial impact on the environment, consuming large amounts of energy, water and raw materials, while generating significant amounts of waste and carbon emissions. To meet these challenges, sustainable construction aims to minimize negative environmental and social impacts throughout a building s life cycle. Incorporating sustainability principles into the construction sector involves several key elements, such as energy efficiency, which plays a key role in sustainable construction. Photovoltaic solar energy aims to minimize dependence on non-renewable energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In conclusion, sustainability in the construction sector involves integrating environmentally responsible practices into all stages of a building s life cycle. The energy performance of buildings has become a concern in Brazil, increasingly focused on sustainability and renewable energy, this concept refers to the measurement of a building s energy efficiency. With energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions on the rise, it is imperative to assess and improve a building s energy performance in order to mitigate the negative consequences of climate change and reduce the building s energy bills. Several international standards and certifications, such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) or BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method), provide frameworks for assessing and certifying the energy performance of buildings. These programs emphasize sustainable design, energy efficiency and the reduction of environmental impact, improving the energy and environmental sustainability aspects of buildings. In conclusion, the energy performance of buildings is a critical aspect of achieving sustainability goals and mitigating climate change. Implementing energy-saving measures and adhering to international standards and certifications can lead to improved energy performance and reduced environmental impact.

Flooding is a global challenge that has plagued mankind throughout history, affecting over 164 million people worldwide in 2007 alone. As the frequency of flooding increases in England and Wales coupled with an increase in the number of properties at risk of flooding and the attendant huge (insured) economic costs of flooding, the services received by homeowners during flood damage repair works, have not been spared criticism, Both the Welsh Consumer Council report and the Warwickshire Trading Standards report raised serious questions about the level of service in insurance claims for the repair of flood-damaged domestic property. This research project was therefore aimed at investigating the level of service quality and determinants of homeowners’ satisfaction in England and Wales with respect to flood damage repair works during insurance claims. A comprehensive literature review was conducted on customers’ needs, satisfaction and service quality, flooding and related issues, and the repair of flood damaged domestic property, in order to set the framework for the research and shape the development of the research questions/hypotheses. The study employed a two-phased sequential mixed methods approach, commencing with 20 in-depth interviews with homeowners, repairers, insurers and loss adjusters. Findings from the initial exploratory study (and from the literature review) informed the development of a questionnaire instrument, which incorporated elements of SERVQUAL, the generic service quality measurement instrument. Survey data were collected for the quantitative phase of the study from a sample of 126 homeowners, which was then analysed to test the hypotheses put forward in the study. The data did not yield a set of reliable and interpretable factors of service quality from the three service quality scales used to measure homeowners’ perceptions of the performance of insurers, loss adjusters and contractors. However, of the three key service providers, the contractor’s performance was the best predictor of homeowners’ overall satisfaction during flood damage reinstatement claims, accounting for seven times the combined unique contribution of insurance and loss adjusting firms. In addition, satisfaction levels were significantly different for homeowners whose claims for repair works were completed within six months compared to those repairs exceeded twelve months. The thesis concludes with implications of the findings for practice as well as recommendations for further research. It is argued that knowledge of the determinants of homeowners’ satisfaction with services during the repair of flood damaged property, is beneficial not only to insurers, loss adjusters and repairers but to homeowners as well.

A dissertação de mestrado trata da relação entre a implantação das redes de infraestrutura sanitária na cidade de São Paulo e a consolidação do ambiente do banheiro no espaço doméstico entre os anos 1893-1929. Como parte do processo de modernização e saneamento da capital paulista, o Estado assume em 1893 o sistema de distribuição de água e esgotos sanitários, sendo responsável pela ampla difusão dos serviços. Se a relação com a disponibilização das redes é evidente, a definição do banheiro enquanto espaço foi gradual, como se observa nas diferentes soluções para o cômodo encontradas nas plantas residenciais submetidas à municipalidade no período. O cruzamento com outras fontes documentais, relativas à abrangência da cobertura dos serviços sobre o território, aponta que as indefinições do banheiro estiveram ligadas à localização e ao padrão da moradia, revelando a influência do processo desigual de distribuição da água e esgoto na cidade. Além disso, os diferentes modelos nas residências atrelavam-se à reorientação dos costumes da população, sobretudo aos associados aos novos preceitos de higiene dos corpos e dos espaços voltados ao consumo privativo e individualizado da água. / This master degree dissertation is about the relation between the sanitary infrastructure implementation in the city of São Paulo and the consolidation of bathroom in the domestic space between the years of 1893-1929. As part of the modernization and sanitation process of São Paulo\'s capital, the State assumes in 1893 the water supply and waste disposal systems, being responsible for the development of these services. If the relation between the water and waste services is evident, the definition of the bathroom as an architectural space was gradual, as can be seen from the different solutions for this room consulted on residential plans submitted at the city council at the time. The overlapping with other documentary sources, related to the comprehensiveness of the water and waste services over the territory, indicates that the spatial indefinitions of the bathroom were related to local and typologies of houses, unveiling the influence of the unequal process of water supply and waste disposal distribution service in the city. In addition, the different types found in the houses were connected to the reorientation of the inhabitant\'s habits, above all the ones associated to the new hygiene\'s precepts of the body and the spaces for private and individualized consumption of water.

O objetivo central desta pesquisa foi analisar o perfil da incorporadora IDEA!Zarvos, do ponto de vista da sua proposta arquitetônica e sua relação com o mercado imobiliário em São Paulo. Ao considerar o potencial urbanístico e humano de uma região da cidade de São Paulo - Vila Madalena - a empresa passou a investir em edifícios com padrões diferenciados. Embora nos últimos anos tenha se generalizado no mercado imobiliário um determinado padrão de edifícios de baixa qualidade urbanística e arquitetônica, a empresa aqui analisada parte da premissa de que, ao mesmo tempo, este mesmo mercado vem se remodelando e apresentando clientes mais exigentes, onde o produto e sua arquitetura passam a ser o foco principal. Neste contexto, a IDEA!Zarvos lança não apenas produtos diferenciados, mas que derivam de um novo tipo de conduta profisisional, em que o arquiteto se torna agente central da produção, totalmente integrado com os demais membros da equipe. Para discutir o novo perfil proposto por esta empresa de arquitetura, este trabalho propõe a análise projetual de dois edifícios - os prédios das Ruas Aimberê e Simpatia. Ambos foram desenvolvidos no período de 2004 a 2007, e marcaram a atuação da IDEA!Zarvos em parceria com a MOVIMENTO UM que reúne jovens arquitetos premiados. A dissertação analisa o processo de formulação e construção dos edifícios em perspectiva comparada, a partir das premissas do discurso do incorporador. O trabalho busca também identificar as soluções individuais dos arquitetos e suas respostas projetuais, tendo em vista a presença da arquitetura autoral. O resultado são construções que contribuem para a melhora do cotidiano da cidade, incentivando a reflexão e o amadurecimento do setor imobiliário. / The research\'s primary purpose is to analyze the profile of IDEA!Zarvos from the perspective of its architectural offerings and its impact on the São Paulo real estate market. After considering the urban and human potential of one region of the city of São Paulo - Vila Madalena - the company chose to invest in buildings that challenge prevailing norms. While the last several years have generally seen the real estate market dominated by units of low architectural quality that make limited contributions to the urban landscape, the company analyzed in this paper starts from the assumption that the real estate market has been changing, with increasingly demanding customers making architecture their primary consideration. In this context, IDEA!Zarvos offers properties that are not only unique but also flow from a new professional approach that puts the architect at the center of each project and completely integrates him or her with the other members of the team. To better understand the new approach embraced by this architectural firm, this text analyzes two buildings - one on Rua Aimberê and another on Rua Simpatia. Both buildings were constructed from 2004 to 2007 and exemplify IDEA!Zarvos\' cooperation with MOVIMENTO UM, which brings together award-winning young architects. This research analyzes the planning and construction processes from a comparative perspective, starting with the principles revealed in the developer\'s own statements. The text also seeks to identify the innovations of individual architects and these innovations\' applications to projects of architectural originality that result in buildings that improve the city\'s everyday aesthetics and encourage reflection and improvement in the real estate market.
