The time frame begins with the recording of the first building in the city to use the elevator, an element that enhances the multiplication of the number of floors and ends with the cooling and changing parameters of this type of construction in the municipality. The aim is to study this production through its relations with the city, trying to understand from which contexts it emerged, who were the agents involved and the way in which they were constituted as emblems of modernity in the local imaginary. It also intends to investigate the links, the construction techniques, the architectural languages used and the spatializations developed from then (commerce, service and housing), with special attention to the emergence of a new domestic environment and its acceptance in the city. In order to do so, it raises primary documentation from the period (technical drawings, advertisements, newspapers, legislation, memoirs, etc.), analyzed by means of a bibliographic survey that deals with similar themes at national level, in order to support analyzes, questions and considerations about the progress, with the aim of contributing to the architectural and urban memory of Campina Grande and to studies on verticalization, housing and the city.

In 1771, after the Jesuits’ expulsion, it became Largo do Palácio, the seat of the Captaincy and later the Province. In 1879, it was transformed into the Public Garden at Campo do Comendador Felizardo, with a fence and a bandstand later removed in 1928. By 1933, already named João Pessoa Square in honor of the state president assassinated in 1930, it received the Altar da Pátria monument, marking its political and memorial significance. Using documentary, iconographic, and bibliographic sources, this study analyzes the square’s physical transformations, social uses, and urban memory, highlighting its role as a symbolic space and a place of worship for the mythologized and heroicized João Pessoa.

These limitations compromise the accuracy of longwave radiative heat exchange estimations, which in turn influence the building’s overall energy balance. This study investigated the impact of sky temperature parameterization on the prediction of thermal and energy performance of buildings, aiming to improve the reliability of simulations across different Brazilian climate zones. Four clear-sky emissivity models — Brunt (1932), Clark e Allen (1978), Idso (1981) e Martin and Berdahl (1984) — implemented in the EnergyPlus software were analyzed and calibrated using data representative of Brazil's main climate groups: tropical, dry, and temperate. The results showed that the models, both in their original formulations and in the version calibrated by Li et al. (2017) and implemented in EnergyPlus, tend to overestimate DLR. After calibration, the locally adjusted version of the Berdahl and Martin (1984) model demonstrated the best agreement with actual atmospheric conditions. Based on 577 TMYx weather files, the average radiative sky cooling (RSC) potential across Brazil was estimated at 53 W/m², with a standard deviation of approximately 15 W/m². The potential was higher in dry regions and significantly lower in humid areas. Computational simulations of a single-story reference dwelling indicated that DLR overestimation could lead to an increase of more than 20% in the annual Total Thermal Load, particularly in buildings with low thermal resistance roofing and predominantly nighttime occupancy. Despite the advances, limitations remain regarding the availability of radiometric data and information on sky cover, which still restrict the generalization of the models. These findings underscore the need to expand atmospheric data collection and to further explore the use of RSC as a passive cooling strategy in the Brazilian context. The results enabled the refinement of sky temperature models, enhancing the accuracy of energy simulations across diverse climatic conditions.

Using empirical data from environmental measurements and 632 questionnaires completed by participants, the study assessed the predictive power of adaptive actions on thermal perception in each building type during both face-to-face and remote work. The predictive analysis employed six machine learning algorithms to forecast comfort levels, heat or cold discomfort, testing various combinations of environmental, personal, and adaptive variables. Office and home environments displayed contrasting thermal conditions and perceptions, as did the adaptive actions, which varied by building type. In offices, drinking beverages and wearing extra clothing were common; in homes, light clothing and opening windows were predominant. Including multiple adaptive variables improved model performance for offices (notably Support Vector Machines, F1 score = 0.83, and Random Forest, F1 score = 0.81). For households, the models performed well regardless of these variables (F1 score = 0.95). The results confirm the importance of adaptive variables in predicting thermal perception in air-conditioned buildings, highlighting the need to consider human behavior in thermal comfort models. Conversely, in homes, although actions like “wearing light clothing” were common during remote work, they did not significantly improve prediction accuracy. The consistency of this behavior made it difficult to identify statistical differences, reducing the explanatory power of adaptive variables in modeling subjective comfort. This research highlights the importance of creating more inclusive and locally representative predictive models that consider diverse occupational backgrounds and real environmental conditions, especially in hot and humid regions, where actual circumstances often go beyond international standards.
