Simulação em conforto térmico

Abstract

The review of the literature on thermal comfort indicates that there are several studies related to thermal comfort, adequacy or attempt to propose a model that fits all occupants of a building. It is in this sense that this work is developed, aiming to determine a zone of thermal comfort for students of the Technological University of Paraná of the city of Guarapuava, PR, Brazil. The area to be studied corresponds to a mini auditorium, where it usually has a large average of students during its use, where it was noticed that there are some studies related to the comfort of people in this type of activity. The work is based on different norms and scientific documents that validate the thermal comfort of the majority of the Brazilian population, making the necessary adjustments to suit the conditions of the cited public. The present study brings results of environmental measurements, presents research results verifying the thermal sensation in the study environment and, finally, through the simulation determines if the environment has the necessary equipment to provide the thermal comfort sensation to its occupants.
