his project has the following strategic purposes:

• Provide solutions to turn Lógica's headquarters into a “zero emissions” building due to solar energy and geothermal systems for passive interior climate. The combination of different systems also include: rainwater harvesting, intelligent and economical lighting and natural lighting for the building interior;

• Build up an energy monitoring system according the parameters that allow the evaluation of energy performance, interior air quality, production and consumption of passive and inductive energy. Also a dedicated section for the study of energetic conditions and thermal behavior associated to construction techniques;

• Demonstrate the potential of integrated energy systems base on data login, data processing and public release;

• Build a house for demonstration of innovative and sustainable construction techniques, energy efficiency and solar energy use.

This project is co-funded by INAlentejo.

This project is based on research and demonstration and intends to create a renewable energies innovative system by developing a prototype for electric energy generation based solar thermal concentration with an energy storage system.

The foundations of this project consist in the use of a well known but not spread technology and the barriers for its usage extension.

This is one more step for R&D promotion in emerging technologies with the contribution of universities, that will led into a regional development launching Moura's county in the areas of science and technology. This project is co-funded by INAlentejo.
