AVALIAÇÃO DO DESEMPENHO LUMÍNICO DE SALA DE AULA ATRAVÉS DA PERCEPÇÃO DOS USUÁRIOS E MEDIÇÃO IN LOCO

Abstract

Artificial lighting is a renewable and free resource and, when prioritized, can lead to greater productivity and well-being of the user. Thus, a correct evaluation of the light performance of an environment should be done not only by quantitative methods, but also by the sensory response of the individual using it. Due to studies that indicate that the lack or the excess of illumination can interfere in the learning, the present study aims to evaluate the lighting performance of a classroom at UTFPR campus Pato Branco and propose an intervention to provide an environment with lighting comfort appropriate. The evaluation was made using standard methods and through an interview to the users. The results of lighting performance obtained through the questionnaire were quite consistent with those obtained from in situ measurements, which makes the questionnaire a satisfactory tool for evaluating the quality of natural light. Intervention proposals were developed from the results obtained.
