I7, Possessive 's and ofThe position of the apostrophe <strong>is</strong> important:my brother's friends (: one brother)my brothers'friends (= more than one brother)When we speak we sometimes omit the second noun:I stayed at Shnon's. (house <strong>is</strong> omitted)I went to the ilent<strong>is</strong>t's. (surgery <strong>is</strong> omitted)I stopped et the newsagent's (shop <strong>is</strong> omitted)We use 's with people, countries and animals:The girl's clothes were very dirty. (not @Britain's roads get more uowded euery year.I tripped ouer the dog's tail.and with time expressions:I <strong>want</strong> to go on a week's holiday.That's last year's brochure.but we usually use oyf instead of 's with things:Whst's the price of that holiday?

IntroduçãoEconomias permanentesmediante Eficiência Energética AtivaHoje não resta dúvida que a eficiência energética ocupa umlugar destacado nos planos de uma grande maioria. No entanto,a compreensão do que envolve a eficiência energética e decomo implementar iniciativas de economia de energia fezcom que, algumas empresas, ta<strong>is</strong> como a Schneider Electric,defin<strong>is</strong>sem do<strong>is</strong> tipos de conduta de eficiência energética:Eficiência Energética Passiva e, ainda ma<strong>is</strong> significativamente,Eficiência Energética Ativa.Muitos acham que medidas de energia remetem à consideraçãode questões térmicas relacionadas ao material de construçãoe medidas ta<strong>is</strong> como <strong>is</strong>olamento, envidraçamento e soluçõescontra a perda de calor. Outros consideram que o assunto é ma<strong>is</strong>relacionado à iluminação e requer simplesmente a instalaçãode s<strong>is</strong>temas de baixo consumo. Aqueles que prec<strong>is</strong>am de muitaenergia térmica talvez considerem como solução os s<strong>is</strong>temaseficientes de caldeira.Todas as ações mencionadas acima são louváve<strong>is</strong> e necessárias,mas não deixam de ser medidas passivas, que reduzem em muitoa perda de energia sem diminuir a energia utilizada.A Eficiência Energética Ativa requer não somente a instalação deaparelhos que economizam energia, mas também o controle dosmesmos para uso da energia necessária. O aspecto do controleé essencial para alcançar a máxima eficiência. Vejam o exemplodas lâmpadas com eficiência energética que permanecem acesasem salas vazias. O único resultado positivo é que se desperdiçamenos energia do que com uma lâmpada comum — só <strong>is</strong>so!As mudanças permanentes são fruto da gestão do uso da energiamediante a realização de medições, monitoramento econtrole. Além d<strong>is</strong>so, em comparação com os custosincorridos (e conhecimentos técnicos necessários paraevitar r<strong>is</strong>cos) na instalação de soluções térmicas, oscontroles de energia podem ser implementados a umpreço relativamente baixo e com rápido retorno doinvestimento. Isto também é certo quando levamos emconta os preços da energia em ascensão — o preço damaioria das soluções de controle de energia pode seramortizado em poucos anos.Outro fator muito importante, que deveria dar ummaior impulso à Eficiência Energética Ativa a partirde agora é a necessidade de cumprir ambiciosasmetas de redução do carbono estabelecidas pelosgovernos aliados ao Protocolo de Kyoto. Em relaçãoao ambiente construído, por exemplo, sabe-se que,afora o caso dos edifícios ex<strong>is</strong>tentes (além de todosos novos) construídos com eficiência energética, serásimplesmente impossível atingir as metas estabelecidaspara 2020.Transporte27%Residencial16%Comercial8%Industrial49%Eletricidade38%Combustíve<strong>is</strong>62%Eletricidade50%Combustíve<strong>is</strong>50%Eletricidade17%Combustíve<strong>is</strong>85%49% Calefação16% Aquecimento de Água7% Iluminação7% D<strong>is</strong>sipação do Calor5% Refrigeração5% Cozinha4% Eletrônica4% Máquina de Lavar/Secadora3% Outros23% Calefação17% Iluminação10% Aquecimento de Água8% D<strong>is</strong>sipação do Calor6% Eletrônica5% Refrigeração4% Ventilação4% Cozinha23% Outros40% Calor de Processos27% Caldeiras de Vapor13% S<strong>is</strong>temas de Motor5% Calor da Instalação4% Iluminação e Outros4% Cogeração (CHP)2% D<strong>is</strong>sipação do Calorde Processos4% Cozinha5% OutrosOs valores de consumo energético revelam asprincipa<strong>is</strong> áreas de uso da energia por tipo4 - White paper sobre Eficiência Energética

I Use of modalsThe modal verbs can, could, may, might, must, ought to, shall, should, willand would:a are always used before another verb:He can swim.I never change - they do not.add -s or -ed or -ing.. are followed by a verb in its infinitive form without ro:You shoulil get up earlier.

Must we lcaae now?E ** tu / hltsfo + verb He lws to lcoue rww.y' a" I does ... + h.ape ro + verb? Do we haw to leante now?For obligation, we can often use nn$t or haue to:I must go now or I'Il m<strong>is</strong>s the bus. or I haue to go now or I'll m<strong>is</strong>s the bus.We use rnust to give orders or sffong advice, including to ourselves:You must tell me everything. (= I feel strongly about th<strong>is</strong>)She must be home by midnighr. (= these are my instructions)You ntust come to the hotel one day. (= I strongly adv<strong>is</strong>e you to)I m:ust go now.

1 The passiveHow the passive <strong>is</strong> formedWe form the passive by using the verb to be followed by the past participle:Active:The police officer sa.u the robber at the airport.She's following him.She'll catch him soon.Passive:The robber was seen et the airport.He's beingfolloweil.He'llbe caught soon.Activeto catchto haue caughtcatchxnghaving caughtam/arc/<strong>is</strong> catchingcatch(es)will catcham / are / <strong>is</strong> going to catchhas/ho:ve cottghtcaughtwas catchinghad catrghtwould catchwoul.d haue caught++++Passiveto be caughtto Lnue bem ca:ughtbeing ccrughthavingbem caughta:rn/ are /<strong>is</strong> being caughtarn/ are /<strong>is</strong> caughtwillbe co;u.ghtam/ are/<strong>is</strong> going to be caughtfurc/hnue bem ca:ughtwas/werc caughtwasbeing caughthadbeen caughtwouldbe caughtwouldhane bem cattghtL28


When the passive <strong>is</strong> usedThe passive <strong>is</strong> used quite often in Engl<strong>is</strong>h, both in speech and writing.We use the passive when:o we don't know who or what did something:My bicycle's been stolen. (= Someone has stolen my bicycle.)The first tools were maile in Africa two million yea.rs ego. (= People madethe firsttools ...)r the action <strong>is</strong> more important than who did it:Income tex utas introil.uceil in England in 1798.r it <strong>is</strong> obvious who or what did something:The thiefs been aruested..We can use by + person/thing to show who does the action if th<strong>is</strong>information <strong>is</strong> important:The robber was seenby the police officer. (= Th" police offi.cer saw therobber.)Verbs with two obiectsSometimes an active verb (e.g. girte) has two objects:A witness geue the police some information.or A witness gaue somc information to the police.Either object can be the subject of a passive sentence:The police were giuen some information by a witness.or Some information wcLS giuen to the police by a witness.2 To have something doneWhen we ask someone else to do something for us, we often use thestructure to hque something done.It <strong>is</strong> not usually necessary to say who didthe action:The president hail the car taken to the airport (by h<strong>is</strong> driver).(= The president's driver took the car to the airport)I hail mry hair cut. (= The hairdresser cut my hair.)fm hailng my leitchen painteil. (= The decorator <strong>is</strong> painting my Leitchen.)They <strong>want</strong> to ha.ae their car fixeil.
