Resumo: Knowledge on construction project management is a key issue in today's construction industry across Europe. This applies to the whole range of project participants from inception to conclusion of construction undertakings thereby involving professionals focusing in distinct perspectives yet working for a common goal. Several countries in Europe, with special relevance to the UK, have developed substantial knowledge in this topic through academic courses, profes¬sional training and experience of practitioners. Other countries have not achieved this stage but the need to prepare profes¬sionals to work in the open European market is impelling efforts for convergence in this matter. This article reports a survey on professional training needs in four European countries presently partnering in a Leonardo da Vinci project on management of construction infrastructure projects. The survey was carried by a questionnaire administered to a set of or¬ganisations of the construction cluster of the four countries involved. Results were used for defining 6 areas of interest for CPD courses which are presently being developed in the scope of the project.

Resumo: Management qualification of construction staff is an essential step towards Polish market development. In¬quiries revealed the framework for qualification requirements that led to the establishment of a matrix of learning subjects. Learning requirements followed from that matrix and allowed for the definition of management learning profiles for construction professionals. These profiles have been compared to frameworks from other European institutions and lay the basis for defining training structures and learning programmes.

Autor: Mendonça, Paulo; Bragança, L.
Resumo: The aim of this research work is to demonstrate how an innovative mixedweight solution can lead to achieve more sustainable housing constructions, having in mind that functional aspects related with comfort - thermal, acoustical and natural illumination should be safeguarded. The integrated accomplishment of all these aspects is difficult and not easily predictable. That’s why, for this comparative study, two Test Cells were built and monitored. The proposed mixedweight strategy was evaluated on a Test Cell made with a heavyweight central area, theoretically conceived to lodge the resting areas of a house - bedrooms, bathroom and living room. North and South envelope façades, pavement and covering are lightweight and lodge the less protected areas, destined for working (office, dining room and kitchen) and a corridor / sunspace, respectively. These compartments also take the role of thermal and acoustical barriers to the resting zone. This mixedweight strategy allowed to significantly less environmental cost in comparison to a conventional heavyweight constructive solution using hollow brick and steel reinforced concrete evaluated on a Reference Test Cell and conceived in a monozone layout. The main aspects and results of this study are presented here.

Autor: Bragança, L.; Patrício, Jorge
Resumo: The objective of this work is to compare the acoustical performance of MBT (Mixed Building Technology) constructions and conventional buildings. The sound insulation performance of a MBT construction was assessed by tests done in situ. The results were compared with similar data from earlier measurements undertaken by the Building Physics Laboratory of the University of
Minho in Portugal, and from simplified prediction methods.
The building where this comparison was done is a 3-storey building. The first 2 storeys were refurbished using conventional construction methods, but the 3rd storey was built using MBT methods, characterised by using lightweight materials, with high thermal insulation, and large fenestration areas.
Based on the work undertaken, some conclusions and proposals for further work are presented.

Resumo: Most of the new construction solutions arise from the feeling that something should be done in order to answer current society concerns: reduction of energy consumption, minimization of pollution, etc.
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the potentialities of a MBT – “Mixed Building Technology” solution. This solution was evaluated under the thermal, acoustic and natural lightning performance, and economical/environmental analysis.
