Heliodon, uma proposta de equipamento visando potencializar o ensino de projeto de arquitetura

Abstract

The insolation that occurs in buildings is a decisive factor to the study of thermal comfort and energy efficiency. In spite of the rise of computational tools, most traditional methods that use reduced models, yet are of high value, specially because of the empirical factor added to the study. This article arises with the intention of proposing an equipment which gives support to preliminary deployment studies and buildings layout. Using as basis some heliodons already found in the market and in the literature, analysing its pros and cons, to determine the template to be projected. It’s used a template with three mobile arches and a fixed table, giving better comprehension of the phenomenon involved, thus, having better utilization in the academic community. The equipment, yet not executed, as its function, are going to be presented in this article.
