Urban shape, Urban layout, Thermal loadAbstract
The shape of cities can influence the thermal gain generated by radiation. In Brazil, which has a predominantly tropical climate, this gain tends to be avoided. The objective is to evaluate the influence of street widths on thermal gain for the city of Cuiabá. The method is divided into definition of urban scenarios, simulation and analysis of thermal loads. The results show that the width of the street has an influence on the load gain of the building. This is the first step in a process of optimizing the use of solar energy according to urban morphology in Brazilian cities.
