Thermal Performance of Standard School Building in Bioclimatic Zone 8: a Study in Vitória / Es and Belém / PA

EasyChair Preprint 3601

Abstract

Thermal comfort in the school environment plays a fundamental role in the teaching-learning process. The care when planning each building associated with the appropriate bioclimatic implantation to be inserted, are some architectural strategies adopted for this purpose. However, a common practice in Brazil, mainly in the construction of public schools, is the adoption of standardized projects for the entire national territory. Such practice facilitates time and the acquisition of funds, however, it is unsuitable to meet the climatic specifications of each place. Therefore, the objective of this work was to analyze the thermal comfort indexes in a classroom belonging to the standard project of Proinfância Tipo B, implanted in two cities belonging to the same Bioclimatic Zone. The methodology of the work was subdivided in the characterization of the object of study, computational simulation, determination of the thermal comfort indicators - ASHRAE 55/2017 adaptive comfort range and buoyancy diagram. The evaluation showed that, despite belonging to the same ZB, the results obtained are different from one city to another. The discomfort index throughout the year in Belém is higher than in Vitória, regardless of the school's implementation orientation, highlighting the need for individualized constructive guidelines for each region.
