Bioclimatismo e forma urbana: simulação computacional em áreas de expansão urbana no clima quente-seco do sertão paraibano

Abstract

The urban climate is a factor sine qua non for the comfort of pedestrians, whereas this is influenced by certain variables, such as roughness/urban form, the urban environment, soil coverings, the percentage of vegetation on the ground, among others, and these elements modified by urban planners. Thinking about it, a training course related to the tools is required (software) environmental computer simulation, in order to validate the urban design solutions developed by them. With this in view, the present study aims to analyze the relationship urban versus bioclimatism form, showing the blessings of using a bioclimatic urban bias in the formal definition for the Hot-Dry climate. The intention of these is to demonstrate that it is possible to develop different building forms in the same area and the same built density, but more efficient bioclimatic point of view of what is found in the parceling of land used routinely (one lot per building). The sets were designed by using the Envimet 4.0 program, analysis of climate variables: air temperature, air humidity and wind direction and thermal characteristics of soil surface. Finally, this paper aims to give a methodological contribution to the urban planning of the hinterlands Paraibano, adding a bioclimatic bias to urban plans of cities of the region in question.
