Abstract Water is a crucial resource for life, and it increasingly scarce in many regions of the globe. In addition, retail water use responsible up to 19% public globally supplied. Hence, this study has set out explore technical economic feasibility rainwater harvesting systems as an alternative source store located southern Portugal. consumption data from 2018 2021 was collected bills, placing average monthly at around 400 m 3 . Next, rainfall nearest meteorological station, comprising 54...
Water distribution networks (WDNs) appear as a new opportunity to generate clean energy using pumps working turbines (PATs) instead of pressure reduction valves (PRVs). This research presents strategy for maximizing the recovered energy, and development deep feasibility analysis, enabling selection best scenario operation mode. A design create an acceptable PAT in water network production, without affecting service, is presented. The characteristic parameters system are described, evaluating...
(1) Background: The embodied energy of building materials is a significant contributor to climate change, in tandem with the use intensity (EUI). Yet, studies on material impacts European retail buildings, namely relation EUI, are missing. Hence, this study set out to: (i) evaluate and carbon emissions for building; (ii) quantify flow terms mass; (iii) compare aspects operational EUI (CUI); (iv) assess higher impacts; (v) investigate strategies mitigate materials’ impacts. (2) Methods: A...
Retail stores are among the building typologies with highest consumption of natural resources. However, studies regarding development Building Sustainability Assessment methods for retail buildings missing, despite their environmental, economic, and social importance. This study intends to address this gap in knowledge by (i) developing Portuguese method LiderA buildings, (ii) comparing other BSA methods, (iii) assessing results two case studies. The took under consideration indicators,...
Retail stores are amongst the building typologies with highest natural resources consumption. This study has set out to compare most well-known sustainability assessment methods for retail buildings (i.e., LEED, BREEAM and DGNB), as support implementation of sustainable practices in this sector. In general, LEED more focused on environmental aspects (prioritising "Energy" an indicator) DGNB is line triple bottom approach, United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, European Union's...
This data article presents collected from the 250 highest revenue retailers around world, assessed according to publicly available fiscal year 2016, in order determine retailer׳s overall carbon intensity (CI) and energy (EI). Data collection included additional variables such as retailers' rank, operational typology, number of stores, store sales area workers. Based on this dataset, CI EI benchmarks were calculated for food non-food retailers, applying statistic function first quartile (Q1)...
A Medicina de Família e Comunidade (MFC) é uma das especialidades médicas que mais se alinha aos princípios fundamentais da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS), tais como longitudinalidade, integralidade coordenação do cuidado. Como a porta entrada para os demais níveis atenção saúde, MFC desempenha um papel crucial na promoção saúde população.
É sabido que a Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) é porta de entrada da sociedade para seja atendida em suas demandas ou referenciada quando necessário; e o auxílio Estratégia Família– (ESF) potencializa sua resolutividade. Contudo, pouco compreendida interferência temática do “Thirdhand smoke”(THS), chamado Fumo Terceira Mão, na saúde criança.
