Influência da vegetação no conforto térmico em ambientes escolares por meio do ENVI-met

Abstract

In recent years, many schools have followed standard designs without considering that the climatic comfort can vary according to the particularities of each region. In the expectation of improving the conditions of this comfort in the school environment, this study sought to analyze the influence of vegetation in the external area of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Tocantins (IFTO), Campus Palmas, through computer simulation using the ENVI-met software. In the study, comparisons were made using as a parameter the temperature, relative humidity and PMV between two constructive typologies, in the blocks of ground floor typology (old) and in the blocks with two floors (recent), the latter being the project that became standard in all blocks of the institute in its expansions. The data showed better results in the three parameters under analysis for the scenario with vegetation, both in the old blocks and for the new blocks. Still, it was possible to see that the most uncomfortable shift regardless of the block is the afternoon and the most comfortable is the morning, a period that can favor a better performance for students to perform their activities.
