MICADO is a modular construction system for dwellings, proposed and developed by a Portu-guese construction startup. In brief, it consists of building the dwelling envelope using prefabricated panels. The panels come pre-finished and include adequate thermal insulation. They have a width range between 300 mm to 1200 mm. Each panel is vertically per...

Recently, there has been an attempt to implement increasingly significant prefabrication in building construction, since this method is considered to represent an opportunity to reduce impacts in the construction sector. For pitched roofs, there have been relevant developments, such as sandwich panels, asphalt shingles, lightweight roof panels, amo...

Interest in sustainable construction has been increasing due to recent events. The limitations of natural resources and the scale of global impacts, specifically as a result of the effects of global climate change, have consequences for the construction sector. These changes are giving rise to a need to reassess the way we face the built environmen...

Historic buildings that regularly characterize the centre of our cities present us the challenge of being updated without losing their uniqueness. Acousticians frequently find themselves at the centre of this challenge, facing traditional solutions that must fulfil contemporary acoustical requirements. In order to apply technical improvements to en...

The purpose of this paper is to propose a post-occupancy evaluation (POE) method focused on building maintenance and then to test it on two different sets of residential buildings. The paper’s three main goals are: to obtain useful data for optimizing the buildings’ maintenance plans; to search for any correlation between the occupants’ characteris...
