Morfologia urbana e acesso solar: estudo da mudança de parametros construtivos no setor estrutural de Curitiba

Abstract

The following study, investigates the most appropriate urban form in order to promote more sustainable buildings from the point of view of solar acess, in other words, buildings that shades less the near buildings and streets, seeking support in the proper use and occupation of the city soil. In the case of the city focused on this analysis, which climate conditions require a better use of insolation in order to promote environmental comfort with less energy consumption, the number of hours that a particular point is shaded, results in a more or less rational use of energy. Since the energy used for heating or cooling of buildings is obtaind from natural sources, such research becomes relevant in the search for more sustainable buildings.
