In recent years, the excessive emission of greenhouse gas CO2, it causing globalwarming, already poses a serious threat to human survival. The problem catches theattention all over the world, and promoting the development of building energyefficiency. In order to the sustainable development of human beings, in 1992 theUnited Nations framework convention on climate change (UFCCC) organizationpublished the Kyoto protocol. In the Kyoto protocol, the European countriescommitted that during 2008 and 2012 they would reduce the amount of greenhouseemissions to 8% compare to 1990.[2] Building envelope technologies can helphouseholder reduce the energy consumption use in the building. Building envelopetechnologies used in the project Brogåden – Alingsås which save the energyconsumption from 204 kWh/ m2a to 95 kWh/ m2a in Sweden. While the cost just838SEK/m² or 8% of the total building costs. In China the envelope technologies usedin the project student apartment in Shandong building university save the energyconsumption about 72% compare with the old student apartments.

Nossas cidades e edifícios são extremamente dependentes da energia elétrica, produzida, normalmente, em locais afastados dos grandes centros, gastando ainda mais recursos na transmissão, manutenção da rede, transformação de corrente contínua em alternada e assim por diante. Uma das alternativas a este modelo é a utilização de sistemas de produção de energia junto às cidades. Dentre as alternativas para a produção de energia no perímetro urbano, destacam-se os sistemas fotovoltaicos, que são leves, silenciosos, não liberam poluentes na sua utilização, entre outras vantagens. Para que sejam incorporados nos edifícios utilizando todo seu potencial energético e compositivo, como parte da edificação, é necessário que os arquitetos assumam esta responsabilidade como um desafio criativo, de maneira a contribuir para mudança da atual dinâmica dos edifícios e cidades. Sendo assim, este trabalho tem o objetivo de caracterizar atributos que orientem os projetistas na incorporação de sistemas de geração fotovoltaica em envoltórias de edificações. Por meio da experiência prática de projeto, fabricação, montagem, operação e desmontagem do protótipo de Residência Zero Ekó House, que participou da competição de casas solares Solar Decathlon Europe 2012 e de bases bibliográficas, que permitiram apresentar um panorama geral das tecnologias de captação e incorporação fotovoltaicas disponíveis; elaborou-se um modelo de projeto para orientar os projetistas na relação das tecnologias fotovoltaicas com a arquitetura e os edifícios, auxiliando nas tomadas de decisões iniciais do projeto da envoltória do edifício. / Our cities and buildings are extremely dependent on electricity produced, usually, far away from the big cities, expending more resources in transmission, network maintenance, conversion of dc to ac and so on. One alternative to this model is the use of power systems integrated to the cities. Among the alternatives for energy production in urban area, highlight the photovoltaic systems, which are lightweight, silent, does not release pollutants in their use, among other advantages. To be incorporated into buildings using all their energy and aesthetic potential, as part of the building, it is necessary that the architects assume this responsibility as a creative challenge, to contribute to changing the current dynamics of buildings and cities. Thus, this study aims to characterize attributes to guide designers in incorporating photovoltaic systems on the building envelope. Through practical experience in design, manufacture, assembly, operating and disassembly of the Zero Energy prototype Ekó House, who attended the solar house competition Solar Decathlon Europe 2012 and bibliographic databases, which allowed to provide an overview of photovoltaic technologies available; was elaborated a model to guide designers in relation with photovoltaic technologies in architecture and buildings, assisting in making initial decisions related to the envelope of buildings.

The theme of the diploma thesis is the solution of the pre-plant zone of the Dukovany nuclear power station. Creating a vision of how this space could develop further in the next 50 years and how it could work in a transitional phase during the construction of a new nuclear power plant unit. The subject of the thesis is the elaboration of an architectural study, which is based on an urban study. Urban study was processed within the framework of the pre-diploma thesis and solved mainly the overall problems of this area, the new transport connection, and the functional division of the whole area. The area was divided into three functional units, namely the transport zone, the administrative zone and the sports and education zone. At present, there are a lot of small structurally and functionally unsuitable buildings in this area. The diploma thesis deals with the design of new buildings with a clear functional use in the administrative zone, in the area in front of the main gatehouse. A new representative square was created, and three buildings are designed around it. The dominant feature of the whole area was a high-rise office building near the gatehouse. In front of the office building, towards the main road, the service building I was designed, which contains business and healthcare services. On the other side of the square was located the service building II, where there are technical services, such as workshops, warehouses and metrology. The last building solved within the diploma thesis is the building of sports and locker rooms of suppliers, which is designed behind the square near the greenery. New building copies mass of the only preserved building in this area, namely the building of the information centre. The designed building has a fitness centre and locker rooms of external workers of the power plant.
