INFLUÊNCIA DE DIFERENTES MORFOLOGIAS NO CONFORTO TÉRMICO DOS USUÁRIOS EM ESPAÇOS URBANOS ABERTOS
Keywords:
thermal comfort, urban geometry, PET index, Local Climate ZonesAbstract
The negative climatic impacts generated by urbanization, impact on the health of the population, being the responsibility of urban planning to promote spaces with higher thermal quality. Urban design has been studied as a strategy capable of controlling climatic variables and improving comfort conditions. Thus, the objective of this research is to analyze the thermal comfort in two open public spaces and its relation with the different urban configurations. For this, two urban fractions of the city of São Carlos were characterized according to the classification system of the Local Climate Zones. Later, microclimatic data collections and interviews were conducted to investigate users' satisfaction, perception and level of comfort. The results show that the region characterized as LCZ 65, with higher percentage of permeable area, higher FVC and lower H / W ratio offered better comfort conditions at 10h and 16h. At 19h both spaces behaved in a similar way. However, respondents were more satisfied in the space with more green areas. This analysis highlights the importance of urban spaces with abundant vegetation and shading structures, including afforestation to promote higher thermal quality for the population.
