EDITORIAL
N
esta primeira edio de 2012 quero transmitir que o novo ano necessita de alma e esprito renovados para responder com muita coragem e determinao aos desafios que surgem e aos obstculos que se impem no dia a dia. precisamente de forma positiva e proativa que devemos encarar as dificuldades que parecem impossveis de resolver. Recentemente o presidente da Associao Nacional de Jovens Empresrios, Francisco Maria Balsemo, referiu que os negcios do futuro passam, em larga medida, pela converso do conhecimento em valor empresarial, o que se convencionou designar por inovao. certo que s com inteligncia, persistncia, sem perder o nimo e com uma nova imaginao, possvel ultrapassar esta fase e vencer. Mas tambm verdade que s ter vontade de fazer no suficiente. Para conseguir alcanar os objetivos traados necessrio tomar as medidas adequadas, reforar todos os meios sempre com a preocupao patente da otimizao dos recursos existentes e da reduo e controlo de custos. A experincia, o saber e o conhecimento adquiridos, potenciados pelas sinergias do Grupo e juntamente com a capacidade de inovar e de implementar so fatores determinantes para continuarmos a nossa caminhada em equipa e cada vez mais coesos.
In this first edition of 2012 I want to convey that this new year requires renewed soul and spirit in order to respond with great courage and determination to the challenges and the obstacles that arise every day. It is precisely in a positive and proactive way that we must face the difficulties that seem impossible to overcome. Francisco Maria Balsemo, chairman of the National Association of Young Entrepreneurs, recently mentioned that the businesses of the future consist mainly of the conversion of knowledge into corporate value, which has come to be designated by innovation. It is certain that only with intelligence, persistence, not loosing vitality and with new imagination is it possible to overcome this phase and prevail. However, it is also true that just wanting to do something is not enough. In order to achieve the outlined goals, it is necessary to take the necessary measures and reinforce all means with a constant concern for the optimization of the existing resources and cost control. The acquired experience, wisdom and knowledge, enhanced by the Groups synergies and along with the ability to innovate and implement are decisive factors for us to continue our journey as a team and ever more cohesive. Dans cette premire dition de 2012 je voudrais dire que la nouvelle anne a besoin dune me et dun esprit renouvels pour rpondre avec beaucoup de courage et de dtermination aux dfis qui surgissent et aux obstacles qui simposent dans le quotidien. Cest prcisment de faon positive et proactive que nous devons envisager les difficults qui semblent impossibles rsoudre. Rcemment, le prsident de lAssociation nationale des jeunes entrepreneurs, Francisco Maria Balsemo, a dclar qu lavenir les affaires passent dans une large mesure par la conversion des connaissances en des valeurs entrepreneuriales, ce est-ce que nous habituellement innovation . Il est vrai que ce nest quavec lintelligence, la persvrance, sans perdre le courage et avec une imagination nouvelle, quil est possible de surmonter cette tape et de gagner. Mais il est vrai galement que lenvie de faire elle seule ne suffit pas. Pour russir atteindre les objectifs tracs, il faut prendre les mesures appropries, renforcer tous les moyens en ayant toujours lesprit le souci de loptimisation des ressources existantes et de la rduction et du contrle des cots. Lexprience, le savoir et la connaissance acquis, renforcs par les synergies du Groupe et conjointement avec la capacit dinnover et de mettre en oeuvre sont des facteurs dterminants pour que nous puissions poursuivre notre randonne en quipe et de plus en plus unis.

CASAIS ALEMANHA CONCLUIU EMPREITADA SMARTHOUSE MUNIQUE

CASAIS GERMANY COMPLETED SMARTHOUSE MUNIQUE

CASAIS ALLEMAGNE A ACHEV LOUVRAGE SMARTHOUSE MUNICH

participao da CNT Alemanha na construo deste edifcio de escritrios e comrcio situado em Munique foi concluda em novembro 2011. Trata-se de um edifcio retangular com dois ptios no interior e composto por nove pisos destinados a acolher mais de 200 lugares de estacionamento, armazns, um supermercado com cerca de 2.000m2, um restaurante de aproximadamente 350m2, duas lojas, um ATL e diversos escritrios. O Smarthouse um edifcio inteligente e ecolgico devido s caractersticas tcnicas previstas para economizar o consumo de energia. Ser utilizada energia geotrmica para o aquecimento e arrefecimento dos compartimentos com tetos radiantes, conforme a poca do ano. As fachadas so ventiladas e constitudas por grandes envidraados com lminas de sombra, que so comandadas por um sistema que controla a temperatura interior do edifcio. Neste edifcio, a estrutura de beto composta por elementos prefabricados (paredes, lajes e lanos de escadas) e elementos betonados in-situ (caixas de escadas e de elevadores, pilares interiores e de canto, lajes das caves e algumas paredes). Esta combinao pode ser vantajosa no sentido de se aproveitarem as principais mais valias de ambas as tcnicas: rapidez de execuo no caso da prefabricao e versatilidade de solues no caso da construo in-situ. No final, o mtodo construtivo utilizado foi bastante eficiente, sobretudo do ponto de vista da organizao e execuo dos trabalhos em obra, pois por comparao com o mtodo tradicional de cofragem, permitiu a eliminao da maior parte dos trabalhos de cofragem, uma reduo significativa do ferro a aplicar, bem como das quantidades de betonagem. Quanto aos trabalhos de acabamento de superfcie, limitaram-se ao tratamento das juntas. Adicionalmente, esta estrutura permite uma edificao mais rpida, pois os elementos estruturais podem receber carga de imediato permitindo tambm que todas as outras especialidades entrem em obra.

NT Germanys participation in the construction of this office and commercial building situated in Munich was concluded in November 2011. It is a rectangular building with two inner patios and composed of nine floors with over 200 parking spaces, warehouses, and a supermarket with about 2,000 m2, a restaurant with appro-

ximately 350 m2, two shops, a Day-care centre and several offices. The Smarthouse is an intelligent and ecological building thanks to its technical characteristics which aim to reduce the consumption of energy. Geothermal energy will be used to heat and cool the compartments with radiant panels, according to the season of the year. The facades are ventilated and composed of large glass windows with shadow blades, which are controlled by a system that controls the inner temperature of the building. The buildings concrete structure is composed of prefabricated elements (walls, slabs and staircases) and concrete applied in-situ (staircases and elevator pits, inner and corner pillars, basement slabs and some walls). This combination may be beneficial in the sense that we benefit from the main advantages of both techniques: quick execution in the case of prefabrication and versatile solutions in the case of in situ construction. In the end, the construction method used was quite efficient, mainly in terms of the organization and execution of the works. Compared to the traditional formwork method, it enabled the elimination of most of the formwork, a significant reduction of the steel to be applied, as well as the amount of concrete used. The only works for surface finishing performed were the treatment of joints. In addition, this structure enables a quixker building, since the structural elements can be loaded immediately also allowing all other specialties to begin work.

a participation de CNT Allemagne dans la construction de ce btiment de bureaux et de commerce situ Munich a t conclue en novembre 2011. Il sagit dun btiment rectangulaire avec deux patios lintrieur et compos de neuf tages destins accueillir plus de 200 places de stationnement, des entrepts, un supermarch avec environ 2 000 m2, un restaurant de 350 m2

approximativement, deux magasins, un ATL et divers bureaux. Le Smarthouse est un btiment intelligent et cologique d aux caractristiques techniques prvues pour conomiser la consommation dnergie. Il sera utilis de lnergie gothermique pour le chauffage et le refroidissement des compartiments plafonds rayonnants, selon les poques de lanne. Les faades sont ares et constitues de grandes baies vitres avec des lames dombre commandes par un systme qui contrle la temprature intrieure du btiment. Dans ce btiment, la structure de bton est compose dlments prfabriqus (murs, dalles et tronons descaliers) et dlments btonns in situ (cages descaliers et dascenseurs, piliers intrieurs et coin, dalles des caves et certains murs). Cette combinaison peut tre avantageuse en raison de lexploitation des principales plus values des deux techniques : rapidit dexcution dans le cas de la prfabrication et versatilit de solutions dans le cas de la construction in situ . Au final, la mthode constructive utilise a t suffisamment efficace, surtout du point de vue de lorganisation et de lexcution des travaux sur le chantier, car par rapport la mthode traditionnelle de coffrage, celle-ci a permis llimination de la plupart des travaux de coffrage, une rduction significative du fer et des quantits de bton appliquer. Quant aux travaux de finition de surface, ils ont t limits au traitement des joints. Supplmentairement, cette structure permet une construction plus rapide, car les lments structurels peuvent recevoir immdiatement une charge permettant ainsi toutes les autres spcialits dentrer, galement, dans louvrage.

he conclusion of the Lobito Retail Park is foreseen for the last trimester of this year. The first retail Park of the city of Lobito, in Benguela, is a project with an area of 15 thousand square meters that results from an investment of around 22 million dollars. At this phase, 50% of the commercialization is already guaranteed, being that 40% of those are detained by Kero brand insignia of the entirely Angolan society of capitals, Zahara Comrcio S.A., which targets for national coverage and intends to broaden the concept to three formats: hypermarket, supermarket and convenience stores. The project, originally consisting of 22 fractions for commerce, warehouses, services, restaurants and the like, recently had its layout adjusted with the redistribution and redimensioning of the spaces provided in the project, in order to be able to integrate some operators, namely the hypermarket Kero. Therefore, bigger stores were created and other ones smaller than what was initially designed, so that, at this point, we can find areas that range from 150 m2 to 605 m2 among the stores that are still for sale. It is noteworthy that there is the possibility of grouping these stores, creating bigger areas according to the specific necessities of the clients. With this equipment, located at the south exit of the city of Lobito in direction to Catumbela, between the Cajueiro condominium and the new roundabout for access to the stadium Estdio do Buraco da Acadmica Petrleos do Lobito, the city will start to make use of a modern retail park with a high level of comfort and good sized stores. Simultaneously, the construction of the Lobito Retail Park is enabling an urban organization and requalification of the area, creating a new centre of attraction in the city.

 Public lighting is the name given to the installation of nocturnal illumination in cities. This is essential to the quality of life in the urban centres, acting as an instrument of citizenship and allowing the inhabitants to fully take pleasure of the public space at night. Besides being directly linked to the public safety in traffic, public lighting prevents crime, embellishes the urban areas, highlights and values monuments, buildings and landscapes, facilitates traffic hierarchy, guides trajectories and allows for better use of leisure areas. The improvement of the quality of the public lighting systems results in a better image of the city, favouring tourism, the commerce, and the nocturnal leisure, increasing the culture of efficient and rational use of the electric energy, thus contributing for the social and economic development of the population.

Tomemos, como exemplo, o caso da na Unio Europeia (UE), em que o consumo de energia est na origem de 80% das emisses deste tipo de gases. Consequentemente, reduzir estas emisses implica um menor consumo de energia e uma maior utilizao de energia limpa.

The National Strategy for Energy 2020 (ENE 2020) includes an array of initiatives and measures considered to be vital to reach the goals of efficiency in the final use of energy and of the energy services. The energy efficiency in Public Lighting (PL) constitutes one of these initiatives, being that the flux regulation in the PL represents one of the essential measures to accomplish such efficiency goals. In general, we can say that the need to increase energy efficiency in the most diverse energy consuming systems is directly related with the fact that these systems are responsible for the increase of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Let us take the case of the European Union (EU) as an example, in which the energy consumption is the origin of 80% of the emissions of this type of gases. Consequently, to reduce these emissions implies a lesser consumption of energy and a bigger use of clean energy.

La Stratgie nationale pour lnergie 2020 (ENE 2020) prvoit une panoplie dinitiatives et des mesures considres fondamentales pour atteindre les objectifs de lefficacit lors de lutilisation finale de lnergie et des services nergtiques. Lefficacit nergtique dans lclairage public (EP) constitue lune de ces initiatives, le rglage du flux de lEP reprsentant une des mesures essentielles pour atteindre de tels objectifs defficacit. Dune manire gnrale, nous pouvons affirmer que la ncessit daugmenter lefficacit nergtique dans les systmes consommateurs dnergie les plus divers est directement lie au fait que ces systmes sont les responsables de laugmentation des missions de gaz effet de serre (GES). Prenons, par exemple, le cas de lUnion Europenne (UE), o la consommation dnergie est lorigine de 80 % des missions provenant de ce type de gaz. Par consquent, rduire ces missions implique une baisse de la consommation dnergie et une plus grande utilisation de lnergie propre.

neste contexto que surge a Estratgia 20-20-20 para 2020 para a UE, cujas trs principais metas passam pela reduo de 20% do consumo de energia e das emisses de GEE e pelo compromisso de que 20% da energia consumida seja proveniente de fontes renovveis. No que diz respeito a Portugal, a ENE 2020 enquadra as linhas de rumo para a competitividade, o crescimento e a independncia energtica do pas, atravs da aposta nas energias renovveis e da promoo integrada da eficincia energtica. Com estas medidas pretende-se garantir a segurana de abastecimento e a sustentabilidade econmica e ambiental do modelo energtico. Por outro lado, na sequncia do Plano Nacional de Ao para a Eficincia Energtica (PNAEE) e da ENE 2020, o Programa de Eficincia Energtica na Administrao Pblica ECO.AP visa obter at 2020, nos servios pblicos e nos organismos da Administrao Pblica, um nvel de eficincia energtica na ordem dos 20% em face dos atuais valores. Para se concretizarem tais objetivos, ser necessrio utilizar racionalmente a energia, melhorar a eficincia energtica das instalaes semafricas, aumentar a eficincia energtico-ambiental dos equipamentos de IP, e paralelamente e como consequncia dos objetivos anteriores, proceder diminuio das emisses de CO2, indo desta forma ao encontro das metas designadas no Protocolo de Quioto. Cabe aos Municpios, atravs do seu relacionamento com a entidade distribuidora de energia, a responsabilidade de assegurar o bom funcionamento e avaliar o desempenho da IP. Este ltimo aspeto revelase particularmente importante no contexto das finanas autrquicas, pelo que as nossas cidades pretendem, atualmente, encontrar solues para a reduo do consumo de energia e custos manuteno associados s instalaes de IP. Atualmente estima-se que 20% do consumo total de energia mundial esteja relacionado com os parques de iluminao, ou seja, uma parte considervel da fatura de energia eltrica no setor pblico e privado vai para iluminao exterior. Por outro lado, os nmeros correntes relacionados com consumos energticos revelam que a IP representa, a nvel global, cerca de 8% do consumo total de energia com iluminao. Contudo, este valor reduzido esconde um uso de energia intensivo, j que 79% dos custos com este servio so energia e que os restantes 21% representam os custos do equipamento, instalao e manuteno. Em Portugal, a IP responsvel por 3% do consumo eltrico total, sendo que os respetivos custos energticos representam, em alguns casos, mais de 50% nas despesas dos Municpios com energia, verificando-se nos ltimos anos uma tendncia de aumento anloga melhoria dos nveis de iluminao da regio (cerca de 4 a 5% por ano). Neste contacto, afigura-se imperativa e estratgica a implementao de solues para medir, analisar e reduzir o consumo de energia eltrica nas rede de IP, assim como, identificar falhas nos elementos que as compem, controlar remotamente a IP e recolher dados sobre o seu funcionamento, de forma a reduzir as despesas com os gastos de eletricidade e de manuteno, contribuindo para a reduo das emisses de CO2.

It is in this context that the Strategy 20-20-20 for 2020 appears for the EU. Its three main goals consist of the reduction of 20% of the energy consumption and of the GHG emissions and for the commitment that 20% of the consumed energy be originated from renewable sources. In what concerns Portugal, ENE 2020 sets out the guidelines for the competitiveness, the growth and the energy independence of the country, by betting on renewable energies and on the integrated promotion of energy efficiency. These measures aim to guarantee the security of provision and the economic and environmental sustainability of the energy model. On the other hand, in line with the National Plan of Action for Energy Efficiency (PNAEE) and with ENE 2020, the Program for Energy Efficiency in Public Administration ECO.AP aims to obtain a level of energy efficiency of about 20% in light of the current values until 2020 in the public services and in the Public Administration Bodies. In order for such objectives to be accomplished, it will be necessary to use the energy rationally, to improve the energy efficiency of the traffic lighting installations, to increase the energetic and environmental efficiency of the PL equipment, and in parallel and as a consequence of the previous objectives, to proceed with the reduction of the emissions of CO2, thus fulfilling the goals assigned in the Kyoto Protocol. It is the municipalities responsibility to ensure the proper operation and to evaluate the performance of the PL through their relationship with the energy distribution entity. This last thing is of particular importance in the context of the municipal finances, which is why our cities currently intend to find solutions for the reduction of energy consumption and maintenance costs associate to the PL installations. Currently, it is estimated that 20% of the total world-wide consumption of energy be related with the illumination parks, in other words, a considerable part of the electric energy bill in the public and private sectors goes to outdoor lighting. On the other hand, the current numbers related with energy consumptions show that PL represents globally about 8% of the total energy consumption with lighting. However, this low value hides an intensive use of energy, since 79% of the costs with this service are energy and that the remaining 21% represent the costs of the equipment, installation and maintenance. In Portugal, PL is responsible for 3% of the total electric consumption, being that the respective energy costs represent, in some cases, more than 50% in the expenditures of the Municipalities with energy, there having been a trend of increase analogous to the improvement of the levels of lighting in the region in the past years (about 4 to 5% per year). In this contact, the implementation of solutions to measure, analyze and reduce the consumption of electric energy in the PL networks is considered to be imperative and strategic, as well as it is to identify flaws in the elements that compose them, to remotely control the PL and to collect data about its functioning, in order to reduce the expenses with the costs of electricity and maintenance, contributing for the reduction of the emissions of CO2.

Cest dans ce contexte que surgit une Stratgie 20-20-20 pour 2020 pour lUE, dont les trois principaux objectifs passent par la rduction de 20 % de la consommation dnergie et dmissions de GES et par lengagement que 20 % de la consommation dnergie proviennent de sources renouvelables. Dans le cas du Portugal, lENE 2020 encadre les lignes dorientation pour la comptitivit, la croissance et lindpendance nergtique du pays, grce au pari sur les nergies renouvelables et la promotion intgre de lefficacit nergtique. Ces mesures visent garantir la scurit de lapprovisionnement et la durabilit conomique et lenvironnementale du modle nergtique. Dautre part, faisant suite au Plan national daction pour lefficacit nergtique (PNAEE) et lENE 2020, le Programme de lefficacit nergtique dans ladministration publique - ECO.AP vise obtenir jusquen 2020, dans le secteur des services publics et des organes de ladministration publique, un niveau defficacit nergtique de lordre de 20 % par rapport aux valeurs actuelles. Afin datteindre ces objectifs, il sera ncessaire, dutiliser de manire rationnelle lnergie, damliorer lefficacit nergtique des installations des feux de circulation, daccrotre lefficacit nergtique environnementale des quipements de lEP, et paralllement et en consquence des objectifs prcdents, de procder la diminution des missions de CO2, respectant ainsi les objectifs dsigns par le Protocole de Kyoto. Il incombe aux municipalits, au travers de leur relation avec lentit distributrice dnergie, la responsabilit dassurer le bon fonctionnement et dvaluer les performances de lEP. Ce dernier aspect est particulirement important dans le contexte des finances municipales, raison pour laquelle nos villes souhaitent, actuellement, trouver des solutions pour la rduction de la consommation dnergie et pour les cots dentretien lis aux installations de lEP. Actuellement, on estime que 20 % de la consommation totale de lnergie mondiale est lie aux parcs dclairage, cest--dire quune partie considrable de la facture dlectricit dans le secteur public et dans le secteur priv va lclairage extrieur. Dautre part, les chiffres courants lis la consommation dnergie montrent que lEP reprsente, lchelle mondiale, environ 8 % de la consommation totale dnergie avec lclairage. Toutefois, cette valeur rduite cache une utilisation de lnergie intensive, tant donn que 79 % des cots avec ce service proviennent de lnergie et que les 21 % restants reprsentent les cots dquipement, dinstallation et dentretien. Au Portugal, lEP est responsable de 3 % de la consommation lectrique totale, les cots nergtiques respectifs reprsentant, dans certains cas, plus de 50 % des dpenses des municipalits avec lnergie, on constate nanmoins une tendance laugmentation ces dernires annes semblable lamlioration des niveaux dclairages de la rgion (environ 4 5 % par an). Dans ce contact, la mise en uvre de solutions pour mesurer, analyser et rduire la consommation dnergie lectrique des rseaux de lEP savre imprative et stratgique, ainsi que, pour identifier les dfauts dans les lments qui les composent, pour contrler lEP distance et pour collecter des donnes sur son fonctionnement, afin de rduire les frais avec les dpenses en lectricit et entretien, contribuant ainsi la rduction des missions de CO2.

SOLUES DE REGULAO DE FLUXO NA ILUMINAO PBLICA

FLUX REGULATION SOLUTIONS FOR PUBLIC LIGHTING / SOLUTIONS DE RGLAGE POUR LE FLUX DANS LCLAIRAGE PUBLIC
Por: Fernando Ramos By: Fernando Ramos Par: Fernando Ramos

Grupo Casais tem vindo a desempenhar um papel muito proativo no apoio e implementao de solues consideradas de eficincia energtica, sendo a regulao de fluxo, uma das reas onde tem vindo a evidenciar-se. As solues de regulao de fluxo encontram-se, atualmente, perfeitamente identificadas, com resultados muito positivos e benefcios imediatos para as instalaes de IP. Perspetivamos que o futuro da eficincia energtica na IP passe pela implementao de um misto destas solues, sendo que cada uma dever ser devidamente estudada e valorizada, de modo a ir de encontro das necessidade dos Municpios e consequentemente, de todos ns. do conhecimento corrente que a IP, em alguns dos casos, se encontra sobredimensionada, no necessitando de estar ligada potncia nominal durante o perodo normal e total de funcionamento. A possibilidade de se reduzir o fluxo luminoso durante determinados perodos noturnos garante economias no consumo de energia eltrica, conservando-se sempre um nvel de segurana para os utentes. Neste contexto, surgem as solues de regulao de fluxo como fundamentais na gesto de uma rede de IP, que se pretende que seja eficiente, passvel de ser gerida e devidamente monitorizada. Por outro lado, e como consequncia desta, a regulao do fluxo contribui tambm para um aumento do intervalo de tempo de substituio das lmpadas em cerca de 50% (denominado relamping), reduzindo assim os custos de manuteno.

The Casais Group has come to play a very proactive role in the support and implementation of what are considered to be energy efficiency solutions, being the flux regulation one of the areas in which it has come to prove itself. The flux regulation solutions are currently perfectly identified, with very positive results and immediate benefits for the PL installations. We believe that the future of energy efficiency in PL lay in the application of a combination of these solutions, being that each one should be duly studied and valued in order to meet the needs of the Municipalities and, consequently, of all of us. It is of general knowledge that PL, in some of the cases, is over-scaled, not needing to be connected to the nominal capacity during the normal and total period of functioning. The possibility of reducing the luminous flux during certain night periods ensures saving in the consumption of electric energy, maintaining a level of security for the users at all times. In this context, the solutions for flux regulation appear as fundamental in the management of PL networks, which is intended to be efficient, able to be managed and duly monitored. On the other hand, and as a consequence, the regulation of the flux also contributes for an increase of the interval of time for substitution of the light bulbs in about 50% (called relamping), thus reducing the maintenance costs.

Le groupe Casais joue un rle trs actif dans lappui et la mise en oeuvre de solutions considres comme tant des solutions defficacit nergtique, le rglage du flux tant lun des domaines dans lequel il se distingue dernirement. Les solutions pour le rglage du flux sont, actuellement, parfaitement identifies, avec des rsultats trs positifs et des bnfices immdiats pour les installations de lEP. Nous prvoyons que lavenir de lefficacit nergtique dans lEP passe par la mise en oeuvre dun mlange de ces solutions, et que chacune devra tre correctement tudie et valorise, de faon rpondre aux besoins des municipalits et, par consquent, de nous tous. Nous savons que, dans certains cas, lEP est surdimensionn, et quil na pas besoin dtre connect la puissance nominale au cours de la priode normale et totale de fonctionnement. La possibilit de rduire le flux lumineux durant certaines priodes nocturnes permet de raliser des conomies dans la consommation dnergie lectrique, tout en maintenant un niveau de scurit pour les utilisateurs. Dans ce contexte, les solutions de rglage des flux surgissent comme des solutions fondamentales dans la gestion dun rseau dEP, que lon souhaite efficace, ce rglage pouvant tre gr et correctement contrl. Dautre part, et en consquence de cette solution, le rglage du flux contribue galement une augmentation de lintervalle de temps de remplacement des lampes denviron 50 % (appel relamping ), rduisant ainsi les cots dentretien.

ADJUSTABLE ELECTRONIC BALLASTS

LES BALLASTS LECTRONIQUES RGLABLES

They are devices that enable the regulation of the light bulbs flux through the dimming function. This could be carried out by the variation by platforms or in a continuous form. In general, we can relate this function with the density of traffic, the local atmospheric conditions, the adaptability to the local parameters of the lighting project, the factor of maintenance of the light bulbs luminous flow (LLMF) and certain time programming (predetermined or programmable). The savings results obtained can be of 16% after dimming to 70% (with double level ballasts) or savings of 22% after dimming to 60% (in the case of electronic ballasts).

Ce sont des dispositifs qui permettent deffectuer lajustement du flux de la lampe travers la fonction dimming. Cette fonction pourra tre effectue par la variation par tapes ou de faon continue.

LES RGULATEURS DE FLUX

Os reguladores de fluxo so equipamentos instalados cabeceira de um sistema de IP, em local adjacente ao respetivo posto de transformao. Tem como principal funo fazer baixar o nvel de luminncia associado a esse sistema, em horas de menor trfego ou de menor afluncia e circulao de pessoas. So perfeitamente programveis, j que esto normalmente associados a um relgio astronmico. Complementarmente, e de modo a potenciar a utilizao destes equipamentos, esta soluo dever estar interligada a um sistema de telegesto. Os reguladores de fluxo podem ser eletrnicos ou utilizar autotransformadores. Nestes ltimos a comutao realizada por: Circuitos eletromecnicos (rels e contactores), que por sua vez so acionados eletronicamente; Circuitos estticos eletrnicos (triacs, IGBTs, alternistor e tirstores) controlados pelo mdulo eletrnico de controlo; Autotransformadores motorizados que regulam a tenso necessria a injetar no secundrio do autotransformador principal (booster), de modo a fornecer a tenso necessria para subtrair ou adicionar tenso do primrio (tenso de sada).

Flux regulators are devices installed to the headboard of a PL system, in a place adjacent to the respective transformer station. Its main function is to lower the luminance level associated with this system in hours of lesser traffic or lesser affluence and circulation of people. They are perfectly programmable, since they are normally associated to an astronomical clock. In addition, and in order to enhance the use of this equipment, this solution should be linked to a remote management system. The flux regulators can be electronic or they can use autotransformers. In these last ones the switching it is carried out by: Electromechanical circuits (relays and contactors), which in turn are triggered electronically; Electronic static circuits (triacs, IGBTs, alternistor and thyristors) controlled by the electronic control module; Motorized autotransformers that regulate the voltage necessary to be injected in the secondary one of the main autotransformer (booster), in order to supply the voltage necessary to deduct or to add to the voltage of the primary (output voltage).

Les rgulateurs de flux sont des dispositifs installs au chevet dun systme dEP, dans un lieu adjacent au poste de transformation respectif. Sa fonction principale est de rduire le niveau de luminance associe ce systme, aux heures de faible trafic ou de moindre affluence et circulation de personnes. Ils sont entirement programmables, car ils sont habituellement associs une horloge astronomique. En outre, et afin de promouvoir lutilisation de ces dispositifs, cette solution doit tre connecte un systme de gestion distance. Les rgulateurs de flux peuvent tre lectroniques ou utiliser des autotransformateurs. Dans ces derniers, la commutation est excute par: Circuits lectromcaniques (relais et contacteurs), qui sont activs leur tour par voie lectronique; Circuits statiques lectroniques (triacs, IGBT, alternistor et thyristors) contrls par module lectronique de contrle; Autotransformateurs motoriss qui rglent la tension ncessaire qui doit tre injecte dans le secondaire de l autotransformateur principal (booster), afin de fournir la tension ncessaire pour retirer ou ajouter la tension du primaire (tension de sortie).

Entretanto, j nos foram adjudicados mais 99 reguladores, em dois Municpios distintos e concorremos a mais 282 reguladores, distribudos por quatro concursos pblicos. Os resultados tm sido muito gratificantes e vindo a comprovar, no s a eficincia desta soluo, como a robustez dos equipamentos instalados. A estabilizao da tenso aplicada instalao, a reduo dos consumos de energia (entre os 30 e os 40%), a facilidade no controlo e gesto dos equipamentos e o aumento da longevidade dos consumveis (lmpadas e balastros) tm sido os principais benefcios reconhecidos por quem est, entretanto, a explorar estes sistemas.

CASAIS - Engenharia e Construo has monitored the market of flux regulation in the past years (in PL and other applications of outdoor lighting), having at this moment already installed flux regulators in several facilities (in 4 contracts, in a total of 72 regulators installed and functioning). However, 99 more regulators have already been awarded to us in two distinct Municipalities, and we have applied to tenders for 282 more regulators, distributed throughout 4 public tenders. The results have been very rewarding and have come to prove, not only the efficiency of this solution, but also the robustness of the equipment installed. The stabilization of the voltage applied to the installation, the reduction of the energy consumptions (between 30 and 40%), the easiness in the control and management of the equipment and the increase of the longevity of the consumables (light bulbs and ballasts) have been the main benefits recognized by those who are, meanwhile, exploiting these systems.

Toutefois, plus de 99 rgulateurs nous ont dj t, adjugs dans deux municipalits diffrentes et nous avons particip plus de 282 rgulateurs, distribus par quatre appels doffres. Les rsultats sont trs gratifiants et viennent prouver, non seulement lefficacit de cette solution, mais galement la robustesse des quipements installs. La stabilisation de la tension applique linstallation, la rduction des consommations dnergie (entre 30 et 40 % ), la facilit de contrle et de gestion des quipements et laugmentation de la longvit des consommables (ampoules lectriques et ballasts) constituent les principaux avantages reconnus par ceux qui, entretemps, tudient ces systmes.

The level of the alarms should be configured in four levels of critical nature (for example: the signalling of knock down must have maximum critical level); To configure the flux regulation system.

Tirant parti de tous les contrleurs (du luminaire et du segment) et des systmes de communication, la plate-forme de tlgestion dynamique devra permettre dinteragir et de paramtrer tous les services, ainsi que de collecter des donnes sur ltat de fonctionnement de lappareil et des segments, permettant par exemple de: Contrler et de configurer ltat de tous les paramtres du luminaire, en particulier, les paramtres de configuration des capteurs et leur tat dactivit ; Configurer les temporisations des variations du flux lumineux dans des fonctions de ltat des capteurs ; tablir des communauts de luminaires par rues, municipalits, districts, etc. Dans ces collectivits, les luminaires devront tre configurs par groupe ; Ragir linformation des capteurs en groupe ou individuellement ; Grer les informations des capteurs en groupe ou individuellement ; Ajuster les niveaux de flux en fonction des donnes des capteurs en groupe ou individuellement ; Rassembler toute linformation du luminaire juge utile (identification, puissance, adresse du rseau, groupe auquel il appartient, configuration actuelle des capteurs, type de gestion (groupe ou individuel), paramtrisations des sensibilits des capteurs, listes logiques de ltat des capteurs, listes des informations des capteurs avec la paramtrisation du flux lumineux) ; Collecte dalarmes et leur corrlation. Il devra y avoir une application pour la prsentation des listes dalarmes. Le niveau des alarmes devra tre configur en quatre niveaux de criticit (par exemple : la signalisation de renversement devrait avoir une criticit maximale) ; Configurer le systme de rglage de flux.

No mbito desta soluo de regulao de fluxo, e fundamentalmente, de gesto de redes de IP, a CASAIS Engenharia e Construo alm de ter realizado uma instalao piloto com 17 pontos de iluminao que est a funcionar, desde 2009, no Municpio de Vila Nova de Gaia, implementou tambm, uma soluo similar para 176 pontos de iluminao na autoestrada A28.

Under the scope of this solution for flux regulation, and mainly, for management of PL networks, CASAIS - Engenharia e Construo besides having carried out a trial installation with 17 lighting points that has been in operation since 2009, in the City of Vila Nova de Gaia, has also implemented a similar solution for 176 lighting points in the A28 Motorway.

A aposta em organizaes mais empreendedoras, menos dependentes de capital externo, vocacionadas para a internacionalizao e claramente aliceradas nos fatores competitivos da economia do conhecimento como a inovao, a investigao e desenvolvimento, a qualidade e criatividade, pode ser o agente catalisador que a economia precisa. Os negcios do futuro passam, em larga medida, pela converso do conhecimento em valor empresarial, o que se convencionou designar por inovao. evidente que os projetos no fazem sucesso apenas pela vertente inovadora. Devem ser adequados s necessidades dos mercados e refletir as suas tendncias implicando assim e antecipadamente uma cuidadosa anlise, muito estudo e reflexo e uma certa dose de risco. A competitividade das empresas est intimamente ligada com a sade da comunidade que as rodeia. Uma comunidade salutar apresenta necessidades, aumenta a procura e potencia as relaes comerciais e os negcios. Por sua vez, uma empresa de sucesso contribui para a comunidade com criao de emprego e desenvolvimento local. Esta recente tendncia dos negcios, levanta o vu sobre as possibilidades das empresas poderem gerar valor econmico tambm quando criam valor social. A criao de valor partilhado pode assumir-se em breve como a grande oportunidade de crescimento para a economia global. Para Daniel Bessa, diretor da Cotec Associao Empresarial para a Inovao, o que distingue um empreendedor a capacidade de identificar oportunidades de negcio e no setores. Em conjunturas como a atual, as oportunidades de negcio multiplicam-se. Pode ser difcil descobri-las, mas, que as h, h. Neste cenrio importante possuir trs caratersticas: know how do negcio, entusiasmo e persistncia. Vasco Bordalo, professor de Empreendedorismo na AESE Escola de Direo e Negcios enuncia dez obstculos que dificultam o percurso em direo inovao: insegurana, medo do fracasso, alto nvel de risco, no ter horrios, burocracia, dificuldade de financiamento, pouco tempo dedicado famlia, solido, gerir pessoas e a frustrao. No h receitas para ultrapass-los, mas trabalhar de forma inteligente e tomar decises planeadas e ponderadas, ajuda O processo de inovao deve ser aberto, pois esconde-lo contraproducente. As empresas devem potenciar a formao de equipas multidisciplinares por forma a reunir conhecimento diversificado. necessrio envolvimento, comunicao e uma liderana orientada para o empreendedorismo. No se consegue convencer uma pessoa desinteressada a inovar, alerta Nuno Nogueira, administrador do Portal Gesto. A inovao no acontece atravs do esforo de um nico gnio criativo, mas pela paixo conjunta de um grupo diversificado de pessoas. Simultaneamente, as empresas devem dotar-se de um plano de negcios consistente e de uma estratgia clara e definida, competncias de gesto slidas e orientao para a produtividade e para a conteno de custos. A proatividade e a avaliao rigorosa dos riscos so competncias chave a desenvolver para assegurar a manuteno nos mercados.

Investment in more entrepreneurial organizations, less dependent of foreign capital, focused on internationalization and clearly based on the competitive factors of the economy of knowledge such as innovation, investigation and development, quality and creativity, can be the catalytic agent that the economy needs. The businesses of the future consist mainly of the conversion of knowledge into corporate value, which has come to be designated by innovation. It is evident that the projects are not successful only for their innovative feature. They must be adjusted to the needs of the markets and reflect its trends thus and foremost implying a careful analysis, much study and reflection and a certain amount of risk. The competitiveness of the companies is closely linked to the health of the community that surrounds them. A healthy community presents needs; it increases demand and enhances commercial relations and businesses. In turn, a successful company contributes to the community with creation of employment and local development. This recent trend of business unveils the possibilities of the companies being able to also generate economic value when they create social value. The creation of shared value can soon be assumed as the great opportunity of growth for the global economy. For Daniel Bessa, director of Cotec Corporate Association for Innovation, what distinguishes an entrepreneur is the ability to identify business opportunities and not areas. In conjunctures such as the current one, the business opportunities are multiplied. It can be difficult to discover them, but they do indeed exist. In this scenario, it is important to possess three features: know how of the business, enthusiasm and persistence. Vasco Bordalo, teacher of entrepreneurship at AESE Management and Business School, lists ten obstacles that make the path toward innovation difficult: insecurity, fear of failure, high level of risk, not

Le pari sur des organisations plus entreprenantes et moins dpendantes des capitaux externes, tournes vers linternationalisation et clairement fondes sur les facteurs concurrentiels de lconomie de la connaissance comme linnovation, la recherche et le dveloppement, la qualit et la crativit, peut tre lagent catalyseur dont lconomie a besoin. Les affaires de lavenir passent, dans une large mesure, par la conversion des connaissances en valeur entrepreneuriale, ce que nous appelons habituellement innovation . Il est vident que le succs des projets ne rside pas seulement sur laspect novateur. Il doivent tre appropris aux besoins des marchs et reflter leurs tendances impliquant ainsi et lavance une analyse minutieuse, beaucoup dtude et de rflexion et un certain degr de risque. La comptitivit des entreprises est troitement lie la sant de la communaut qui les entoure. Une communaut saine prsente des besoins, accrot la demande et augmente les relations commerciales et les affaires. son tour, une entreprise succs contribue la communaut en crant de lemploi et un dveloppement local. Cette tendance rcente des affaires, lve le voile sur les possibilits quont les entreprises pouvoir gnrer de la valeur conomique aussi lorsquelles crent de la valeur sociale. La cration dune valeur partage peut bientt tre assume, comme une grande opportunit pour la croissance de lconomie mondiale. Pour Daniel Bessa, directeur de Cotec - Association des entreprises pour linnovation, ce qui distingue un entrepreneur est sa capacit didentifier les opportunits daffaires et non pas les secteurs. Dans des conjonctures comme celles que nous vivons aujourdhui, les opportunits daffaires se multiplient. Il se peut quil soit difficile de les dcouvrir, mais il y en a, sans aucun doute.

Os medos de perder uma oportunidade, de perder dinheiro, de errar, so inibidores contra os quais as empresas devem lutar. As maiores barreiras inovao residem dentro das prprias empresas, estando profundamente enraizadas na sua cultura organizacional e rotinas de trabalho. So fruto da prpria atividade da empresa e dos mecanismos e relaes criadas ao longo dos tempos. De uma forma geral, as pessoas possuem um forte desejo de mudana, no entanto, no sabem reagir quando as oportunidades surgem e principalmente perante um processo que revolucione o dia a dia. A orientao, o envolvimento e a liderana forte so essenciais para levar processos de mudana a bom porto. A inovao tambm pode significar grandes processos de mudana e para limitar a criao de barreiras e de resistncias, necessrio uma forte comunicao interna com a transparncia, a clareza, a motivao e o reforo positivo como pilares. O mercado nacional muito pequeno, necessrio procurar mercados internacionais menos expostos crise econmica e com carncias por suprir. Com esta determinao e sabedoria, se os portugueses juntarem rigor sua criatividade so imbatveis em qualquer parte do mundo, explica Vasco Bordalo.

The innovation process should be open, since it is counterproductive to hide it. Companies enhance training of multidisciplinary teams so as to congregate diversified knowledge. Involvement, communication and a leadership guided towards entrepreneurship is necessary. Its not possible to convince an uninterested person to innovate, alerts Nuno Walnut, administrator of Portal Gesto. Innovation does not occur through the effort of a sole creative genius, but rather by the joint passion of a diversified group of people. Simultaneously, companies should equip themselves with a consistent business plan, a clear and defined strategy, solid management abilities and orientation towards productivity and cost containment. Proactivity and rigorous risk assessment are key skills that should be developed in order to guarantee staying in the markets. The fears of missing an opportunity, of losing money, of making a mistake, are inhibitors which companies must fight against. The biggest barriers to innovation lie within the companies themselves, being deeply embedded in its organizational culture and work routines. They are fruit of the companys own activity and of the mechanisms and relations developed over time. In general, people have a strong desire for change, however, they do not know how to react when the opportunities appear and mainly in the presence of a process that will revolutionize their daily activities. Orientation, involvement and strong leadership are essential to successfully carry out changes. Innovation can also mean great processes of change and to limit the creation of barriers and resistance, strong internal communication is necessary and having transparency, clarity, motivation and positive reinforcement as pillars. The domestic market is too small, it is necessary to look for international markets that are less exposed to the economic crisis and with needs to be satisfied. With this determination and wisdom, if the Portuguese add rigor to their creativity, they are unbeatable in any part of the world, Vasco Bordalo explains.

AESE - cole de direction et des affaires nonce les dix obstacles qui entravent le parcours vers linnovation : linscurit, la peur de lchec, le degr de risque lev, le fait de ne pas avoir dhoraires, la bureaucratie, la difficult de financement, le peu de temps consacr la famille, la solitude, devoir grer des personnes et la frustration. Il ny a pas de recette pour les dpasser, mais travailler de manire intelligente et prendre les dcisions planifies et pondres, cela peut aider... Le processus dinnovation doit tre ouvert, car vouloir le cacher est contre-productif. Les entreprises doivent accrotre la formation dquipes multidisciplinaires, afin de recueillir des connaissances diversifies. Nous avons besoin dengagement, de communication et dun leadership ax sur lesprit dentreprise. Vous ne pouvez pas convaincre une personne dsintresse innover, met en garde Nuno Nogueira, administrateur du Portail Gestion. Linnovation nest pas le fruit de leffort dun seul gnie cratif, mais plutt la passion conjointe dun groupe diversifi de personnes. Simultanment, les entreprises doivent se munir dun plan daffaires cohrent et dune stratgie claire et dfinie, de comptences en gestion solides et dune orientation pour la productivit et la matrise des cots. La proactivit et lvaluation rigoureuse des risques sont des comptences cls dvelopper pour assurer le maintien dans les marchs. La peur de perdre une opportunit, de perdre de largent, de commettre une erreur, sont des inhibiteurs contre lesquels les socits doivent lutter. Les plus grands obstacles linnovation se situent dans les entreprises elles-mmes, qui sont profondment enracines dans leur culture organisationnelle et dans leurs habitudes de travail. Ils sont le rsultat de lactivit elle-mme de lentreprise et des mcanismes et des relations crs au fil du temps. En gnral, les gens ont un fort dsir de changement, cependant, ils ne savent pas comment ragir lorsque les occasions se prsentent et surtout face un processus qui rvolutionne leur quotidien. Lorientation, le dveloppement et le leadership solide sont indispensables pour mener des processus de changement bon port. Linnovation peut galement dboucher sur dimportants processus de changement et pour limiter la cration de barrires et de rsistance, il est ncessaire une forte communication interne avec la transparence, la clart, la motivation et un renforcement positif comme piliers. Le march national est trs petit, il faut rechercher des marchs internationaux moins exposs la crise conomique et avec des carences combler. Avec cette dtermination et cette sagesse, si les Portugais joignent la rigueur leur crativit ils sont imbattables dans toute partie du monde, explique Vasco Bordalo.

En 2012, nous avons un portefeuille douvrages comme nous nen avons jamais eu dans le domaine international. Personne nest bon lextrieur sil nest pas bon dans son pays aussi. Nous devons acqurir un bon savoir-faire ici pour aller travailler lextrieur. Nous avons tous endoss le maillot et 2012 est la nouvelle pour bien le suer!
