A Influência do sombreamento e da absortância da envoltória no desempenho térmico e energético de edificações residenciais multipavimentos na cidade de João Pessoa-PB

Abstract

Given the importance of adaptation of the building to the climate in search of more thermally and energy efficient buildings, this study evaluates the influence of shading devices and solar absorption coefficient of the envelope in the thermal and energy performance of residential buildings located in the Manaíra, João Pessoa-PB , through computer simulations, using the DesignBuilder program. The work involved the development of a methodology for the identification of the main characteristics of residential buildings in urban cutout study. Were analyzed 25 buildings with respect to: frequency of occurrence of numbers of floors, terrain and edification shape, area of apartments, percentage area of window and of wall in the facades, facade orientation, existence of elements of sun protection and constructive characteristics general. Based on the data collected, a representative model of constructive reality was elaborated, called predominant typology and used as the base case in the simulations. One set of typologies was simulated, determined from alterations constructive variables such as solar protection and absorption coefficient of the envelope, as well as, the urban variable surroundings obstruction. The analysis variables considered were the temperature of the internal air, solar gain through opaque and transparent closings and load required for cooling. Was observed that the shading caused in the area around contributes to a reduction in internal temperature and solar gain, but the balance is not always favorable, some models analyzed presented an increase in solar gain by opaque closings. Just like the density of surrounding area can elevate the air temperature and energy consumption in domestic environments. The use of the shutter openings resulted in better thermal and energy performance, higher than the adoption of low absorption coefficient ( = 0.20).
