Avaliação do conforto térmico no terminal de transbordo oeste de Cascavel - PR

Abstract

Thermal comfort is the subject of several studies because it characterizes a prominent subject in relation to people's quality of life. This fact is revealed by the human being's need to maintain a sense of well-being in their everyday spaces. On an urban scale, one of the spaces used by a significant part of the population are the transshipment terminals. In terms of urban mobility, the terminals have an intense flow of people and, as a matter of citizenship, they need to offer a pleasant environment to public transport users. Thus, this research aims to evaluate the thermal comfort of the West Transshipment Terminal in the city of Cascavel/PR with the aid of a globe thermometer. After collecting data, the results obtained were analyzed and compared with the NR 17 and it was found that the internal temperature varies according to the external temperature. Because of this, it is stated that the west transshipment terminal lacks thermal comfort on a daily basis, thus adequacy proposals were carried out in order to minimize thermal discomfort.
