ESTRATÉGICAS BIOCLIMÁTICAS PARA A CIDADE DE PALMAS–TO

Abstract

The climate in the city of Palmas, state of Tocantins, Brazil, is characterized as tropical, with two distinct period, hot and humid period and hot and dry one, with high temperatures all year round. However, there are many gaps in the study of the climate of Palmas, especially in its genetic and dynamic aspect. In addition, there was a need for design solutions that provide improvements for thermal comfort to buildings in this city. Faced with such problems, this study aims to recommend the application of bioclimatic strategies adapted to the climate of Palmas, based on Brazilian normative recommendations and applied software, including the technique of rhythmic analysis. In conclusion, it was found only the application of the design guidelines of standards does not fully correspond to the needs of the thermal comfort in the climate of Palmas, as well as the general application of the software used. In general, the software indicated the use of the strategies "sun shading", "evaporative cooling", "ventilation" and "high thermal mass". The evaluation of the annual rhythm of such recommendations helped in the correct application of bioclimatic strategies, such as the indication of the proper solar orientation for the elements with high thermal inertia, the use of sun shading on such elements to avoid overheating them, and the openings for ventilation with the possibility of sealing.
