Modelagem, simulação e análise da aplicação da bioarquitetura em projetos residenciais com foco na eficiência energética

Abstract

This work proposes to investigate solar interference in buildings with the aim of optimizing the increased energy efficiency in homes. It seeks to promote the questioning of the paths adopted by designers in the field of bioarchitecture, assuming that, in most cases, the plastic architectural design is prioritized, leaving bioarchitecture strategies to be solved after the occupation of the environment. The methodology of the work uses computer simulations through software that assist in the luminous and thermal analysis of the residences. The data are obtained from the parameters established in standards and consist of monitoring the simulations, observing the impacts, interferences and savings provided. The simulation data show that the west, east and northeast orientations for the location where the study was carried out have the highest average areas of solar incidence with ≈ 30m2 of lit/heated area per year. It was observed that the openings directed towards the orientations of the largest area of sunlight are the hottest environments, requiring equipment to promote thermal comfort. The results point to the best solar guidelines to provide increased energy efficiency, savings, reduced consumption of natural resources, increased quality of life, promotion of environmental preservation and better use of light and heat.
