Lisbon, Portugal – Taking the heat out of high-rise

“Ceuta Norte” was a demonstration project partly funded by the EC’s SUNH programme and built in the city of Lisbon, Portugal. It is a new-build that was selected as a case study because of difficulties finding a high-rise refurbishment in Europe illustrating the possibilities for reducing cooling demand. Sixty-two apartments were newly constructed integrating various solar shading devices, insulation, low-e double-glazing and thermo-mechanical ventilation. The combination of measures enabled significant reductions in solar gain through windows, significant reductions in heat loss and gain through walls, roof and windows, and improved ventilation. Energy savings for heating and lighting, compared to a ‘standard’ building of this type, were estimated at 50 kWh/m2 year.
