REVISÃO BIBLIOMÉTRICA APLICADA AO USO DE SISTEMAS VEGETADOS VERTICAIS EM SIMULAÇÕES DE DESEMPENHO TÉRMICO DE EDIFICAÇÕES

Abstract

Building envelope and its local climate association can be harnessed to implement improvements on the building’s s thermal performance. Despite the fact that vertical greenery systems adoption has gain more attention in recently researches, its computational implementation still be very underexplored. The purpose of this work is to present a review of vertical greenery systems applied in thermal simulations as a strategy of climate control, through the evaluation of how these researches have being developed and to determine which methods and criteria should be replicated for the thermal simulation of vertical greenery systems. So it was elaborated a literature overview by using the Knowledge Development Process - Constructivist (ProKnow-C Methodology). This review was built through the selection of a portfolio and development of analyzes that will ease the development of researches on this field. The main points found in the portfolio that also should be considered in this work are: application of a recognized software by the community, confirmation of greenery systems adoption as an environment control strategy, the method used to implement a vertical greenery system as an element in thermal simulation, the confirmation and the methodology of validation of the results found and method to evaluate the success of this environmental control strategy. In conclusion it was identified the preferred responses for the analysis lenses as proposed by the method, allowing this review to be an initial step towards a recognized group of parameters that will favor the development of researches related to thermal simulation of vertical greenery systems.
