ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The present study was developed in the scope of
the Smart Green Homes Project [POCI-01-0247-
FEDER-007678], a co-promotion between Bosch
Termotecnologia S.A. and the University of Aveiro.
It is financed by Portugal 2020 under the Competitive-
ness and Internationalization Operational Program,
and by the European Regional Development Fund.
This work was also partially supported by research
grant SFRH/BD/94270/2013.
