title: Thermal history and comfort in a Brazilian subtropical climate: a 'cool' addiction hypothesis

description: Abstract Currently, there is a rising trend for commercial buildings to use air conditioning to provide indoor thermal comfort. This paper focuses on the impact of prolonged exposure to indoor air-conditioned environments on occupants' thermal acceptability and preferences in a mixed-mode building in Brazil. Questionnaires were administered while indoor microclimatic measurements were carried out (i.e., air temperature, radiant air temperature, air speed and humidity). Results suggest significant differences in occupants' thermal acceptability and cooling preferences based on thermal history; differences were found between groups based on different physical characteristics (i.e., different gender and body condition). The findings also indicated a significant potential to implement temperature fluctuations indoors when occupants are exposed to air conditioning environments in warm and humid climates.

title: Thermal performance of green envelopes in buildings in the Brazilian southeast

description: Abstract The evaluation of the thermal performance of buildings using green roofs, living walls or green walls as envelope protection elements is a very important tool for architects and engineers to minimize heat gain, provide better thermal condition and improve thermal performance. This paper presents three different studies of thermal performance of buildings with green cover: 1) a case study of a green roof, 2) an experimental study of a living wall, and 3) a case study of a green wall; all of which include comparative and concurrent measurements between exposed surfaces and surfaces protected by vegetation. The parameters measured were air temperature, relative humidity, air speed and mean radiant temperature, as well as the inner and outer temperature of the walls. Those analyses led to the conclusion that the use of vegetation as a protection element on roofs and façades acts positively on the heat flows in the envelope, representing an important tool for passive thermal control of high temperatures inside the buildings.

title: Heavy and light high-rise buildings in oasis-cities: thermal and energy assessment of apartments above and below the tree canopy in Mendoza, Argentina

description: Abstract From an environmental point of view, the urban forest in Oasis-Cities defines two strata in height: one with a moderate microclimate under the trees, and a second one over the tree canopy that presents an extreme climatic situation. The aim of this study is to assess the energy efficiency and the conditions of habitability of apartments at different heights in high-rise buildings. Four case studies were selected in the Oasis-City of Mendoza, Argentina: two above and two under the tree canopy. Heavy and light envelopes were evaluated. For two years, in situ temperature measurements were taken in order to perform a diagnosis. These data were used to adjust and validate models using the dynamic Energy Plus software. We studied energy refurbishment strategies. Thermal behaviour and HVAC consumption were analysed. The results show that dwellings under the urban forest influence take advantage of solar radiation protection in summer (thermal differences of 4°C), higher temperatures in winter (thermal differences of 3 °C) and minimum consumption in HVAC systems, close to zero energy buildings. Furthermore, apartments in heavy buildings reported better thermal behaviour than those in light buildings.

title: Comparación entre las normas de desempeño térmico edilício de Argentina y Brasil

description: Resumen El objetivo de este estudio es realizar una revisión de la normativa de desempeño térmico destinada a edificios de viviendas, vigente en Argentina y Brasil. Se busca detectar las coincidencias y divergencias más significativas, así como la trayectoria y dificultades para su implementación, con la finalidad de proponer acciones y mejoras. Se asume que con un programa de gestión adecuado que incluya participación social y profesional, se podrá aumentar el nivel de compromiso ambiental, la aplicación efectiva de normas, como un requisito para modificar la cultura vigente en la edificación. El análisis se basó en el examen de documentos normativos y legales sobre el desempeño térmico edilicio, además del material libre disponible. De Argentina, se analizó el conjunto de las normas IRAM enumeradas en el Decreto 1.030/10, que reglamenta la Ley 13.059/03 y el código de edificaciones de Rosario. Para Brasil se estudió la NBR 15220/08 y la 15575/13. Se contrastaron las normas citadas y se encontró que en cuanto a valores exigidos en transmitancia térmica para muros, la IRAM es 2 veces más exigente que la NBR en verano y 3,5 más, en invierno. Finalmente se proponen recomendaciones que contribuyan al mejoramiento en la aplicación del desempeño térmico del sector residencial.

title: Climate data processing for the thermal performance analysis of buildings in Santa Maria, RS

description: Abstract Processing climatological data and making them available to building designers is of great importance for the thermal performance and energy efficiency of buildings. Test Reference Year, Typical Meteorological Year, bioclimatic chart, EPW and CSV files, wind speed and frequency roses and design day are the most used parameters. Before this study, there was already some systematization of the data available in Santa Maria - RS, however that was for a time range of only eight years. The aim of this study was to process and analyze the climatological data for Santa Maria over a twelve-year period. The method used was based on the scientific literature and followed methods developed and used by Brazilian research groups. The results for Santa Maria show greater discomfort in cold conditions. Direct solar radiation is well distributed throughout the year, indicating the use of passive solar heating in winter and shading in summer. For natural ventilation, the east wind direction should be given preference. The TMY2 file generated in this study is similar to the TRY-INMET (2012), but it presents more significant differences when compared with the SWERA file. The study highlighted the importance of north and northeast orientation for insolation and east direction for natural ventilation. The method presented can be applied in other cities that have available climatological data.

title: Shed roof air extractors and collectors: the influence of geometry and inlet and outlet openings on the performance of natural ventilation

description: Abstract Natural ventilation is an efficient strategy for the passive cooling of buildings, occurring through wind action, through stack effect, or a combination of both. Among ventilation strategies, shed roofs stand out. These structures contain roof openings that work as either air collectors or extractors, depending on their location relative to prevailing wind directions. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the influence of the shed geometries and the dimensions of the inlet and outlet openings on the performance of natural ventilation. The system was evaluated for different external wind incidence angles: 0° and 45° (air extraction) and 135° and 180° (air capture). The methodology adopted the CFX software for Computational Fluid Dynamic simulation. Quantitative analyses (air change rates per hour and pressure coefficients in the openings) and qualitative analyses (internal airflow path) were performed. The results indicate that shed roofs with aerodynamic geometries and increased outlet openings increase internal airflow. In case of sheds for air capture, increasing inlet openings did not cause significant improvement in air capture.

title: Low frequency impact noise floors insulation by source of impact noise

description: Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the sound pressure level generated by different types of impact noise sources in buildings at frequencies between 80 - 400 Hz using different floor combinations and resilient materials for the flooring system. Measurements were conducted using two sources of impact noise, a tapping machine modified according to international standards and a non-standard 5 kg punching bag. Three types of floor (bare slab, ceramic flooring and laminated flooring) and two resilient materials (glass wool and EVA) were used. Impact noise sources were placed in four different positions. Data were collected at 16 microphone positions in the receiving room, and analyses were performed for 4, 12 and 16 microphone positions. It was concluded that the impact sound pressure level (LnT) present in the receiving room under excitation with the modified tapping machine varies according to the type of resilient material used, while for the non-standard impact noise source the results in terms of maximum impact sound pressure level (Li, max) vary largely according to the different types of flooring used, especially in the 80 Hz band. In this case, the resilient material also influences the sound pressure levels, but not as much as it influences the pressure levels of the standard source.

title: Proposal for an alternative procedure for glare assessment: a new temporal approach of viewing direction

description: Abstract Glare can be considered as one of the most complex aspects of the daylighting evaluation process due to its subjective nature and the limitations of$ usual forms of assessment. Although the glare is a subjective response, many indices have been developed to quantify this phenomenon. Existing glare assessment models assume that occupants' view direction fixed on the task and ignore the dynamic nature of vision. This paper presents the impact of the time in the calculation of DGI. A teacher was adopted as a dynamic subject who has several view directions. The procedures adopted included the use of a video camera, software for video editing, HDR images and post processing data through photometric measurement system called Photolux. With DGI data for each direction of view, in each position, in all scenarios and the time in which the teacher looked at each direction, estimated through the video, two weights were held: DGItd (time spent in each direction) and DGItp (time spent in each position) resulting in a total index of the room. The results showed that the total index of the room was lower than those values obtained from Photolux in most cases, reaching reductions of up to 30% for a given situation. This study reinforces the importance of incorporating the temporal condition in evaluating glare.
