- Large Diameter Earth-Air Heat Exchanger for Space Cooling and Heating: Preliminary Post-Occupancy FindingsPublication . Duarte, Rogério; Gomes, Maria da Glória; Moret-Rodrigues, AntónioThe main goal of the paper is to describe and provide a preliminary discussion of the performance of a large diameter earth -air heat exchanger used in cooling and heating of a small office building located in Alentejo, Portugal. The sole energy consumption associated with this system is that required to operate two fans that move outdoor air into the office spaces. There are no mechanical moving parts inside the office building and the heat exchanger is designed in combination and complementing principles of natural ventilation in the office spaces. Post-occupancy results show the large diameter design of the earth-air heat exchanger is capable of removing up to 30 kW of heat from the outdoor air using just 2,2 kW of fan power. Despite the significant cooling requirements in Alentejo, Portugal, earth air heat exchanger outflow air temperatures can be 10 K lower than outdoor temperatures, allowing the removal of office space loads in the morning period and supplying offices in the afternoon with air at temperatures that seldom exceed 27°C, despite outdoor air temperatures of 40°C.
- Mature Learners’ Participation in Higher Education and Flexible Learning Pathways: Lessons Learned from an Exploratory Experimental ResearchPublication . Duarte, Rogério; Oliveira Pires, Ana Luisa; Nobre, A.Higher education institutions play an important role in promoting equity and access conditions to mature learners. Such role includes the ethical commitment to facilitate learning processes, removing barriers to mature learners’ entry and persistence in higher education. This paper describes the implementation of flexible learning pathways in a technology and industrial management graduate course designed for mature learners. Findings confirm that mature learners welcome flexible learning pathways and choose the pathways that better suit their needs. Despite initial academic background differences, success rates are adequate and similar for different learning pathways, showing that mature learners are capable of bridging the gaps in their academic development. Findings also show that doubts related to the impact of some learning pathways on students’ academic integration are unfounded. Considering the positive results, it is concluded that flexible learning pathways, together with the widening of entry routes to higher education, promote equity and access conditions to mature learners.
