Análise do fator de iluminância em salas de aula de escolas municipais de Toledo - PR

Abstract

Every environment should receive light, be it natural or artificial, because when there is a higher level of illumination, there is an increase in visibility, speed and precision in performing tasks. It is known that during the development of a person, the stage of the education of children is of extreme importance, because the experiences taken in the beginning of life have effects until their adulthood. In this way, it is important to maintain a quality child education in order to provide better cognitive and physical development for students. But one of the main factors that guarantee quality in teaching is the presence of light in the environment, and according to NBR 8995/2013, there are some minimum values that must be met so that the illuminance is sufficient to perform the tasks in the school environment. In this way, the present work aims to quantify the illuminance of the classrooms of the municipal schools of Toledo - PR, in order to identify if they meet the parameters established in NBR 8995/2013. Using the technical procedures of field research, four schools were evaluated, all within the municipal boundaries of Toledo - PR. The analysis was performed with the aid of the luximeter and the analysis of the data in spreadsheet. In a general context, only 12.8% of the 336 measurements carried out in the seven classrooms of the four schools on the three days of measurements and under the four types of situations reached the standard, while in the best condition of lights and open curtains, approximately 41.67% of the 84 measurements reached the required minimum. Thus, it was possible to recognize faults related to the size of the rooms, the windows, the location of the rooms as well as the problem of the lack of artificial lamps in the classrooms and the possible measures that should be adopted in order to correct the illuminance, in order to improve the visual comfort of the classrooms and consequently the learning and development of the students who study there.
