Comparação do desempenho térmico segundo a NBR 15.575:2013 entre dois sistemas estruturais: paredes de concreto e alvenaria estrutural em Palmas/TO

Abstract

Housing must meet the needs and requirements of the user, thus, the choice of materials used directly influences thermal comfort. Considering the bioclimatic zone of Palmas - TO and its high temperatures for most of the year, this work evaluated the thermal performance between two types of buildings: Structural Masonry and Concrete Wall. The evaluations were carried out according to the criteria defined in NBR 15.575:2013 – Performance Standard. The experiment was carried out through measurements in apartments built in Palmas - TO built with their facades facing West and North. Data collection was obtained through temperature and humidity sensors installed inside the apartments' rooms during a period of 3 days, 24 hours a day. The purpose of the research was to experimentally verify the feasibility and compliance of the construction systems with the norm. It was concluded that the buildings analyzed did not reach the minimum performance stipulated by the standard.
