Um olhar bioclimático e de eficiência energética sobre a Igreja Divino Espírito Santo do Cerrado

Abstract

This research has as its object Divino Espírito Santo do Cerrado Church in Uberlândia/MG, designed by the architect Lina Bo Bardi, the only example from this architect in Minas Gerais and the only listed building in the state level in the city. The investigation is carried out under a historical perspective combined with bioclimatic and energy performance analysis, essential elements for prospecting the use and consequent preservation of the property within the current context. The importance of the research is on the proposal of a differentiated look at the listed property, because at the same time that it analyzes its architectural value and the concretization of the “poor architecture” defined by the architect, it evaluates the thermal conditioning of the building and the users' sensations in the space, emphasizing that a property that is listed must be thermally comfortable too. The investigation modalities used included qualitative and quantitative methods. Initially, the research uses secondary sources for a bibliographic review on the constructions from the architect and the referred church. As it follows, questionnaires were applied to the community for the understanding of the thermal sensations from users, who sought to raise qualitative data about this matter. Finally, the Church's bioclimatic analysis was carried out using the Climate Consultant 6.0 program and the wrap labeling by means of the prescriptive method from RTQ-c, in which we could identify that the building has an E level of energy efficiency. Based on these analyzes, the work proposed recommendations for obtaining a more efficient wrap labeling than the current one, having as a premise that the property should not be out of character. The results presented demonstrate the change in the wrap labeling from level E to level C, presenting changes based on minimal intervention, which allows the preservation of the asset and its effective use.
