Analysis of the acoustic, thermal and luminous performance at the Instituto Federal de MG.

The architect João Filgueiras Lima participated in the 1990s, in the project known as the Centro de Atenção Integral à Criança e ao Adolescente (CIACs) (Integral Care Center for Children and Adolescents), where he designed buildings taking into account his concern with environmental comfort. Currently the campus of the Instituto Federal of Minas Gerais- Santa Luzia (Federal Institute of Minas Gerais- Santa Luzia), occupies some of these buildings. Despite the architect’s concern with environmental comfort, the campus employees report dissatisfaction with the thermal, luminous and anthropometric comfort inside the buildings. Thus, this project aims to study and understand such issues by using as a method the application of questionnaires and measurements with the decibel meter, light meter, anemometer equipment and WBGT on the institution’s work environments. Twenty environments are being analyzed. The analysis of the teacher’s lounge is presented in this document, where measurements are compared to rates established by the norms relevant to this work. The lighting of this environment is inadequate and the thermal comfort exceeds the rates (WBGT) recommended for such an environment. But the level of noise and the wind speed are in accordance with the norms. Anthropometric measurements have not yet been done and the results presented are consistent with the measurements done during the seasons of summer and autumn of 2016. | Luana, Fernanda e Wemerton - lulu_rizzi@hotmail.com
