RECURSOS DA ERGONOMIA PARA CONCEPÇÃO, ORGANIZAÇÃO E DIMENSIONAMENTO DO AMBIENTE CONSTRUÍDO

EXPERIÊNCIA DIDÁTICA NA INTRODUÇÃO AO CONFORTO AMBIENTAL DURANTE A PANDEMIA

Abstract

The article shows how the teaching dynamics were adapted in the introduction to concepts of environmental comfort (thermal, acoustic, lighting and ergonomic) and energy efficiency, in the activities of the discipline AUT0282, Environmental Comfort I - Fundamentals, during the Covid-19 pandemic caused by the SARSCoV- 2 virus, more commonly called the coronavirus. In order to raise students’ awareness of the importance of ergonomic resources for the assessment, design, organization and dimensioning of the built environment, analyzing the influence of physical, environmental, sociocultural and psychological factors on human behavior, the activities were adapted to the possibilities within the imposed limitations. The adapted exercises fulfilled the main objectives of the discipline not only in terms of qualitative and quantitative analyzes, but also in terms of the use of available tools, ensuring the introduction to the concepts of environmental comfort and awareness through fieldwork with measurements and physical model tests.
