Análise de alternativas para melhoria do desempenho térmico de edifícios em alvenaria estrutural em face da norma brasileira 15.575

Abstract

This thesis seeks to analyze alternatives to improve the thermal performance of building built in structural masonry, faced with the Brazilian standard of performance - NBR 15.575. The work was divided into several steps: 1. Theoretical basis: the references submitted on the issues NBR 15575, Thermal comfort and masonry structural concrete block, based on standards, articles and opinions of professionals involved in discussions on the topics discussed; 2. Application Form: a questionnaire for professionals involved; 3. Analysis of the object of study: characteristics of the project studied; 4. Implementation: analysis of the alternatives studied; 5. Conclusion: the end result with the materials most suitable for application. The proposed work is important to make available to professionals, options and alternatives to improve the thermal performance of buildings designed in structural masonry concrete block. These materials are applied to buildings with this construction method, can increase the performance levels of buildings, offering environments more pleasant, comfortable, economical energy.
