IMPLANTAÇÃO DE CORTINA VERDE COM A ESPÉCIE STICTOCARDIA MACALUSOI PARA ATENUAÇÃO TÉRMICA DE EDIFICAÇÕES

Abstract

The use of green envelopes is a bioclimatic strategy wich can be used to mitigate the climatic effects of the environment and improve the thermal performance of buildings. There are several combinations, among the forms of application and the species of plants used, which vary according on the desired effects and the region of interest. This study aimed to evaluate a room thermal attenuation after the installation of a green curtain with a specie of creeper Stictocardia macalusoi. Air temperature and humidity data are being collected in two permanence rooms with similar constructive characteristics, located in educational buildings in the Câmpus of the Federal Technological University of Paraná (UTFPR). One of the room is protected by the green curtain and the other without shadow interference. With the results, can be verified the behavior and the interference that the green curtain exerts on the thermal performance of the building according to the regional climate. A preliminarly data collection was performed, about 80 days after the specie was planting, the room where the green curtain was implanted (Sala 1) showed expressive differences of air temperature and humidity. The specie showed a vigorous development and presented a good acclimation in this initial period. The project is currently at an stage of development and the data are been colleted Over the year 2019, contemplating the annual climatic variations. The buildings are located in the Francisco Beltrão, Paraná (-26 ° 04'52 " -53 ° 03'18") and belong to Bioclimatic Zone Z2.
