LEVANTAMENTO DE PROBLEMAS EM FACHADAS ASSOCIADOS À PRESENÇA DE APARELHOS DE AR CONDICIONADO E PROVÁVEIS SOLUÇÕES

Abstract

With the high temperatures, artificial air conditioning has become a necessity and the popularization of air conditioners has generated a great increase in the demand for their use. The pulverization of the services and the inadequacy of the building, caused several pathological manifestations in the facades. In this sense, the main objective of this work is to analyze pathological manifestations, such as stains, cracks, displacements, corrosion defects and façades in buildings in Porto Alegre, whose focus is motivated by the installation, use and maintenance of equipment, checking them and proposing solutions. Visual inspection and damage identification forms (FIDs) were carried out in four buildings, analyzing the facades of each building individually, two of which are older and two more current. The amount of damage caused around the air conditioners of each building, as well as the amount of air conditioning and maintenance employed in the building, was accounted for. There was a high number of anomalies in relation to appliance units in older buildings, in addition to the lack of maintenance and convention of condominiums related to such facilities, the opposite occurred in current buildings, even with relevant incidences. The solutions were pointed according to the incidence observed.
