### Definition of Typologies and the Survey of Buildings  
Jardim Camburi is the neighborhood analyzed, in the capital of Espirito Santo (Vitoria), southeastern Brazil. This region of study was defined because it has vertical residential buildings, which were built mainly from the 1980s, being one of the most recent neighborhoods of the capital. The limits of the neighborhood (Figure 1), which is 2.61 km\({}^{2}\) in area, were consulted in the Portal of the Vitoria City Hall [17,18].  
The capital of Espirito Santo is located in the southeast region of Brazil, in the bioclimatic zone 8, according to NBR 12220-3 [19], and has flat areas near the shore. It is located at LAT 20\({}^{\circ}\)16\({}^{\prime}\) S and LONG 40\({}^{\circ}\)17\({}^{\prime}\) W, with mean temperatures between 20 \({}^{\circ}\)C and 28.4 \({}^{\circ}\)C and a mean relative humidity of 84% [20]. According to the Prefeitura Municipal de Vitoria [17], 39,157 people lived in the Jardim Camburi neighborhood in 2010. Since the 1980s, the urbanization and densification of the neighborhood have become more intense, and it is now typically residential, although the service trade sector is also present [21].  
At first, a face-to-face route was taken in the main and some secondary roads of the neighborhood to recognize the existing volumes within the scope of multifamily residential buildings. Then, physical and geometrical elements were observed to draw a classification profile in typologies, in order to determine the representative residential buildings of the neighborhood. The number of floors, the predominant color, the existence of balconies and the existence of other shading elements were considered. The analysis was visual and external to the buildings.  
As identified in the survey, the existence of several single-family residential buildings with up to three floors and only three-storey multi-family buildings in the Residencial Praia de Camburi condomium, it was determined to study the multi-family residential buildings with four or more floors, thus contributing to the grouping into existing typologies of multifamily buildings with apartments. In addition, it was decided that the residential Atlantica Ville would not be part of the research, given the lack of standardization of real estate.  
The result of this first contact was the observation that buildings with four and five floors have similar characteristics regarding the shape and distribution of the floors, being grouped in typology 1 when there is no balcony, and in typology 2, when there is a balcony. Buildings on the edge of the neighborhood with [PERSON] street and [PERSON] avenue are taller, with similar shape and distribution of floors and with balconies. In this way, they were grouped in typology 3. The other multi-family residential buildings, also similar in the shape and distribution of floors, were grouped in typology 4, without the balcony, and typology 5, with the balcony.  
Thus, for the purposes of the survey and the subsequent definition of representative building typologies, multi-family residential buildings were grouped into the following categories:  
* Typology 1: Residential buildings with four or five floors without balconies;
* Typology 2: Residential buildings with four or five floors with balconies;

collection, three typologies (1, 2 and 5) were selected and four representative buildings were defined (Figure 4):  
* Building A represents typology 1: Four floors and no balconies.
* Building B represents typology 2: Four floors, with balconies.
* Building C represents the typology 5: Ten floors, with small balconies.
* Building D represents the typology 5: Ten floors, with large balconies.
