Conforto térmico e consumo energético nos climas atual e futuros:

Análise de tipologias residenciais unifamiliares em Vitória (ES)

Abstract

Climate change impacts various sectors of society, including the construction industry, which is vulnerable both to environmental disasters and to the performance of its individual components in daily use. To measure these effects in the residential sector, the built environment of Vitória (ES) was analyzed to identify the most relevant construction typologies and assess them through the lens of ASHRAE 55 adaptive comfort. The analyses were based on computational simulations and considered both current and future climates, varying the size of openings and the façade color in two vertical enclosures of a single-family unit. The results indicate that all typologies will experience a reduction in the percentage of comfortable hours by up to 53% and an increase in energy consumption by up to 39%, highlighting the need for mitigation techniques to be implemented in buildings.
