Abstract

Nature-based solutions and passive thermal conditioning strategies are important for maintaining thermal comfort conditions in residential building environments, in the face of climate change. The objective was to characterize the construction components present in the external vertical seals of multi-family residential buildings located in the Center of Vitória (ES) and evaluate the presence of passive thermal conditioning and SBN solutions. The methodology consisted of: territorial outline; selection of passive thermal conditioning strategies; SBN applicable to multifamily buildings; and lifting. There was a shortage of SBN in the neighborhood. Under an optimistic bias, passive conditioning strategies were noted more frequently. This result demonstrated greater use of passive strategies, as the elements observed were more constant and already inserted in the construction process that characterizes a period of architecture.
