Abstract: The objective of this study is to evaluate the thermal performance of a community room in the subdivision Dunas, in Pelotas, RS. A total of 18 different envelope configurations were simulated, beyond the base case in order to determine the best solution for the zone where it will be built. According to the Brazilian Thermal Performance Norm NBR 15220, Pelotas is located at the Bioclimatic Zone 2, ABNT (2005), with severe summer and winter. The data from simulations were evaluated by adaptive comfort from De Dear and Brager (1998) for the ASHRAE 55 (2004) and degree-hours for cooling and heating for energy efficiency analysis. Keywords: adaptive comfort, computer simulation, thermal energy performance, work simulation of social interest.
