Análise do Impacto de Estratégias Bioclimáticas no Desempenho e Conforto Térmico em Habitações Sociais em Clima Quente e Úmido

Abstract

In the face of climate change and the increasing demand for energy, thermal comfort evaluation models are gaining relevance in promoting sustainable consumption. This article examines recent regulatory advances in comfort and thermal performance standards, highlighting their prescriptions, limitations, and opportunities. However, it is observed that energy efficiency approaches still do not adequately incorporate thermal comfort parameters. To investigate this gap, the study compares indicators such as the Percentage of Hours in the Operative Temperature Range (PHFT) and the Maximum Annual Operative Temperature (Tomax), seeking synergies between performance standards and NBR 16401-2. The methodology uses accessible tools and public databases applied to a Social Housing model in Belém-Pará, a city with a hot and humid climate, to assess thermal performance under real conditions.
