Reabilitação de edifício residencial na cidade de Ouro Preto buscando a adequação do conforto térmico

Abstract

With the innovation of technology, civil construction has become more and more sophisticated. And along with the thought of building comes the understanding of adapting to new ideas of sustainability, aiming at optimizing works, with new resources, be they new constructions or building reforms. The rehabilitations allow the buildings to be re-qualified according to the current need, besides transforming a building improving the conditions of comfort to its users, through changes in its interior or exterior. This work seeks to perform the analysis of the rehabilitation of a residential building in the city of Ouro Preto with the purpose of adapting and optimizing the thermal comfort of the residents. We analyzed the predicted mean vote index (PMV) of the second and third floors of a building in the city of Ouro Preto, MG, in addition to its structure study. Based on the results, adaptations are proposed to improve thermal comfort, such as replacing the type of floor with one of less conductivity and window sealing or replacement of the same.
