ANÁLISE CLIMÁTICA E DEFINIÇÃO DE ESTRATÉGIAS CONSTRUTIVAS PARA O MUNICÍPIO DE PAU DOS FERROS/RN

Abstract

The bioclimatic architecture seeks the elaboration of pleasant environments adapted to the natural conditions that the site offers, while at the same time reducing the energy consumption and environmental impacts caused by construction. This study consists of the climate monitoring of the city of Pau dos Ferros, in Rio Grande do Norte, through a meteorological station located at the Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA), during the months of November and December 2018 and the months of January and February 2019, with the intention of contributing to the formation of a database oh the city, since this data is not available for consultation. The NBR 15220-3 (ANBT, 2005) presents the division of the Brazilian territory into 8 bioclimatic zones and provides the climatic data of 330 cities, as well as the constructive solutions adapted to each bioclimatic zone, thus becoming an important set of guidelines to be followed in the search of the thermal comfort of the buildings, however, the municipality whose research was carried out is not among the cities presented by the standard. The monitoring considers characteristics such as air temperature and humidity, relative and absolute atmospheric pressures, speed and direction of the winds and rainfall volume, and will also be important to define which bioclimatic strategies are effective for the constructions of Pau dos Ferros, supported by NBR 15220-3 (ANBT, 2005). In this way, it will be possible to the create a bibliography to support students and professionals in the construction process in the design of buildings and choose materials suitable for the reality of the municipality and for future studies on this subject.
