THERMAL-ENERGY SIMULATION OF SHAPED PAVILION BUILDING IN BRASILIA: THE ROLE OF ENVELOPE IN THERMAL COMFORT

P. Japiassú, M. Guimarães, C. Silva

Abstract: The correct choice of building components that are appropriate to the climate context is fundamental to reduce the energy consumption demand of a building. Characteristics such as width, capacity and thermal transmittance of walls and roofs of the building, can significantly change the internal conditions of comfort and consequently the demand for cooling and mechanical heating. In this context, this article aims to evaluate the influence of types of roofs and walls with different thermal properties in the thermal-energy performance in a building shaped like a horizontal rectangular block (pavilion shaped building). This shape pattern is very common in institutional buildings of Brasilia as it is a characteristic of modern architecture.
