Análise do desempenho energético de edificações: aplicação analítica do RTQ-C no Edifício do Ceamazon

Um dos grandes entraves para o desenvolvimento econômico mundial é a crescente demanda por energia e consequente aumento da utilização de recursos naturais para provê-la. Países em desenvolvimento, como o Brasil, apresentaram progressivo consumo de energia per capita nos últimos anos. Embora a sua maioria seja proveniente de usinas hidrelétricas (fontes não poluidoras) sua construção causa grande impacto ambiental. De todo o percentual energético gerado, as edificações são responsáveis pelo consumo de aproximadamente 40% e este percentual tende a aumentar mediante o crescimento da construção civil no país. Diante da problemática, o combate ao desperdício, a racionalização e o uso sustentável da energia consumida pelas edificações estão diretamente ligados à redução do impacto ao meio ambiente, postergando a necessidade de aumento da matriz energética nacional. Neste contexto é criado o Regulamento Técnico da Qualidade do Nível de Eficiência Energética de Edifícios Comerciais, de Serviço e Públicos (RTQ-C). Este trabalho consiste em uma aplicação crítica do RTQ-C utilizando a metodologia prescritiva, tendo como enfoque aspectos relativos a sua aplicabilidade e avaliação de conforto térmico e lumínico, tendo como premissa que o alto desempenho energético da edificação só é plenamente alcançado quando são garantidas condições satisfatórias de conforto ambiental aos usuários. Para tanto foi necessária uma etapa minuciosa de levantamento de dados e medições “in loco” de temperatura do ar, temperatura radiante, iluminância e umidade relativa em dois ambientes (laboratório de conforto e sala de aula 2) do edifício do Centro de Excelência em Eficiência Energética da Amazônia - CEAMAZON, subsidiando a utilização da metodologia proposta por Fanger (PMV e PPD), e verificação dos níveis de iluminância propostos pela NBR 5413. Como resultado a edificação apresentou bom desempenho, mas a não observância dos prérequisitos a classificou com nível “C”. A avaliação de conforto indicou que aproximadamente 23% dos usuários não estavam em conforto térmico e que a ventilação natural poderá ser utilizada como estratégia bioclimática para adequação. As medições de iluminância indicaram que apenas a sala de aula 2 possuia potencial de aproveitamento de iluminação natural no período da medição. Concluiu-se que, apesar de sua importância, o RTQ-C deve passar ainda por um processo de adaptação por parte da sociedade e dos profissionais envolvidos na certificação energética de edificações e que durante esse período modificações poderão ser incorporadas contribuindo para torná-lo um instrumento efetivamente válido para a garantia da eficiência energética das edificações do país.

O vocabulário ornamental de Antônio José Landi: um álbum de desenhos para o Grão Pará

A arquitetura da cidade de Belém, no Pará, da segunda metade do século XVIII é marcada pela obra do arquiteto italiano Antônio José Landi responsável pelo projeto e construção, ou reforma, de edificações que marcam a paisagem da cidade até os dias atuais. Ao analisar a bibliografia publicada a respeito do artista, é possível notar uma flutuação entre os autores no que diz respeito à classificação de seu estilo artístico. É possível atribuir esse fato às influências recebidas pelo arquiteto ao longo de sua vida na Europa, o que imprimiu em sua linguagem elementos de várias correntes artísticas. É objetivo desse trabalho, a partir de um estudo sistematizado dos ornatos utilizados pelo arquiteto, perceber seu vocabulário ornamental e fornecer então fundamentos para estudos a respeito das influências que a obra landiana pode ter provocado na arte paraense. Para tanto, reuniram-se os ornatos em quatro grupos a fim de facilitar a visualização de seu vocabulário e, consequentemente, de sua linguagem ornamental. Vasta foi sua produção entre Itália, Portugal e Brasil, entretanto, foram priorizados os ornamentos utilizados na obra realizada em terras brasileiras, suas características, sua utilização e suas variações. A metodologia empregada consistiu de pesquisa bibliográfica, levantamento e análise dos desenhos realizados no Brasil e registro fotográfico e análise das obras executadas em Belém. Ao final da pesquisa, conclui-se que o italiano desenvolveu sua arte, com o uso de um vocabulário ornamental cuja origem teve suas raízes nas influências artísticas europeias que se amoldaram ao ambiente amazônico, suas limitações de materiais e mão-de-obra.

O clima urbano de Assis/SP: estudo comparativo da temperatura e umidade relativa entre a cidade e o campo

It is known that the urban environment modifies the energy balance between the surface and the atmosphere, causing changes in temperature, relative humidity, among other things, opening the way for studies aimed at urban climatology. Based on the theme of urban climate, this research focuses on the city of Assis, located west of São Paulo. The generation of urban climate is a result of various factors, among which stand out: the use and different land use, the thermodynamic properties of buildings, number of buildings in the urban, socioeconomic activities, etc.. In general, this increases the temperature and reducing relative humidity, providing thermal discomfort. The rural environment is used for comparison studies to this theme by presenting different characteristics in relation to the structure, morphology and urban functionality. The main objective of this study is to determine the characteristics of temperature and humidity environments with the habits and occupations of the different soils in winter, at night, one inserted into the urban fabric of Assis and the other in the rural environment, to verify for evidence of changes in climatic elements because of urbanization. To collect the data will be used mini automatic weather stations that record data on temperature and humidity. For analysis of the results will be made between the data obtained in the city and the countryside, developing graphics application using Excel to tabulate the data. It was found that there were differences in the thermo-hygrometric data collection points, showing a specific urban climate in the city of Assis

The issue of sustainability was explained in order to serve as a tool to expand the options available to upgrade a building in front of their impact on the environment

Cidades sustentáveis: análise comparativa com cidades contemporâneas

Currently the world is under an energy revolution, every day more technologies are developed in order to better use the energy for having better energy efficiency of equipment and processes with minimal environmental degradation. Taking into account that thousands of people live in built environments in the context of cities and that the energy flow to this location is significant, it is important to study the built environment as a potential source of savings, energy recovery and regeneration, because cities are the major bottlenecks energetic. Therefore, this study aimed to examine and to list the most important and promising technologies to be used in the built environment to collect or save energy that would be wasted, such as clothes that generate energy through movement or solar incidence, facades of buildings that generate energy due to solar radiation, fitness centers that produce electricity due to the rotation used in fitness equipment for athletes, elevators that take advantage of the potential energy or use it more rationally, generators that take advantage of energy vibrational, and finally more sustainable vehicles with higher performance and less degrading the environment. The information and results obtained from this study show that the technologies used to harness energy before lost are increasingly evident and also is increased the progress relative to the energy use in a urban context. In the closure, a comparison of energy expenditure between a city that uses some of these sustainable technologies and another of the same size with conventional habits is presented

Diagnóstico antropogeomorfológico em bacia hidrográfica urbana: o caso do Córrego do Jardim São João, Araras (SP)

Man can transform the nature according to their needs through technique which enables agriculture, cattle raising, constructions of buildings for housing, transport routes, etc. This action has brought significant transformations to the environment, and relief is one of the most changed elements, mainly at urban areas, which concentrates most of the Brazilian population. In these areas geomorphologic systems have undergone alterations in their flow of matter and energy by the action of man. Thus, it is possible o understand the action of man as geomorphologic action, nowadays, the tecnógeno, since the human action can interfere qualitatively and quantitatively in the input and output of these systems. The anthropic geomorphology has contributed to the analyses of the effects due to the urbanization at the form and at the geomorphologic process in the urban watersheds, indicating the transformations at the shape of the relief and the alterations due to the acceleration of the flow of matter and energy. From these questions, this study had the main diagnose the anthropogenic changes of the relief at the basin of Corrego do Jardim São João, Araras (SP), comparing two scenes, 1997 and 2006, through geomorphological mapping evolutionary in the area. The geomorphological feature altered at the basin are directly linked to the use of soil, mainly at the urban use, which caused effects in the relief at the studied area, making possible to define periods of the urban evolution and impacts caused by the urbanization. Among the changes it was found the decrease of the topographic breaks and at the riverbed channels, as the increase of the accumulation of the plain and riverbed terrace. The elaboration of a letter of the legal restrictions of the basin make possible to evaluate some of the environmental urban problems that occur, which are due to the occupation of the relief in the areas of permanent preservation that brings significant impacts to...

Avaliação das taxas de erosão química e física na bacia hidrográfica do Ribeirão Jacutinga (SP)

Currently with the growing technological advancement and global, new areas are being devastated, and as a result, the erosion became more frequent causing loss of soil, infiltration capacity of the surface and weathering of rocks. In this way, environmental studies are increasingly frequent to understand the environment in which we live, but also to avoid any degradation of the same and of finite natural resources, which are essential for human life. From this, this work has as main goal, analyzing the rates of chemical and mechanical erosive watershed of Ribeirão Jacutinga, at its mouth, in the city of Rio Claro, supporting environmental studies and sustainable development today. Order to reach these values were measured and total dissolved solids in suspension in the stream during the months from January to July 2012. As results included higher rates of both physical and chemical weathering in the rainy months, especially january

Diagnóstico ambiental das áreas de expansão urbana do município de Jaguariúna - SP

The spatial chaotic urban growth is an increasing and common problem in Brazilian cities, especially in the State of São Paulo. In order to assist the territorial expansion planning, the present study aimed to conduct the environmental diagnosis of urban expansion areas in the City of Jaguariúna – SP, bounded by the Municipal Plan. From the preparation and analysis of thematic maps, literature review and field analysis, data were collected for use and occupation, geology, geomorphology, pedology, vegetation, water resources and features surrounding the five urban sprawl existing areas. It was noted, in general, that these areas are suitable for urban occupation, since they show flat geomorphology characteristics, with flattened, medium to large hills, slightly undulated, with low slope, and soils that do not present risks to the deployment of buildings, once properly managed. It was also observed a few water bodies crossing these areas and a few areas with native vegetation beyond permanent protection areas along the rivers. By the analysis of these areas and their surroundings, it was possible to determine on which area the urbanization process can occur more quickly. Thus, the study allows the City of Jaguariúna to perform a more effective occupation planning in these areas, always aiming the sustainable development and, consequently, the improvement in population’s quality of life, as well as the maintenance of environmental quality.

Caracterização físico-química e microbiológica de diferentes amostras de uma precipitação coletada e armazenada após passagem por telhado

The decreasing availability of drinking water is a problem that has existed for a long time and continues to be aggravated, especially by the increase in population and pollution of water resources. Due to the need to find alternatives in order to ensure water supplies in sufficient quantity and quality for consumption by populations, rainwater collection arises as an alternative. The present study was developed in Ipeúna-SP, consisting of an experimental system of collection and storage of rainwater on the roofs of buildings. Samples of the same precipitation, differentiated through the initial disposal and treatment of the collected water, were stored during a period of six months and monitored through physical, chemical and microbiological analyses. With the results, the qualitative characteristics of the stored precipitation were found, the main differences among the samples were identified and the needs of treatment were studied.

O clima urbano em Alfredo Marcondes/SP: uma análise dos indicadores geoambientais

There are obvious changes that occur within the cities, experienced in synthesis for the degradation of the environment and especially the worsening quality of life. Even small cities, began to exhibit characteristics typical of an atmospheric climate. Thus, it becomes natural to analyze the characteristics of these spaces, unlike the medium and large cities, provide a detailed analysis of the peculiarities of intra-urban space in order to highlight what factors enhance or soften the formations of a typical urban climate distinct patterns of land use. The aim of this research from a geoenvironmental mapping of attributes (uses and land cover, vegetation and tree characteristics of buildings) while representing the dynamic City entertainment. Thus, we seek to inter-relate these indicators to analysis climate urban-rural and intra-urban applied to the city of Alfredo Marcondes / SP, a small town in order to identify a potential compromise climate conditions point to generate a specific climate. From this detailed analysis, we intend to give suggestions with the government to improve the comfort of that environment. For the data collection was organized a specific methodology for its collection, organization and representation and for the record of climatic data (temperature, wind speed and direction and cloud cover) were used mini-shelters weather with temperature sensors in fixed locations, and a temperature sensor attached on the side of a vehicle, 1.5 meters in height from the floor for 42 points perpassando selected in different intra-urban spaces...

Validação de aplicativo comercial visando a incorporação da realidade aumentada a um modelo de avaliação pós-ocupação

Post-Occupancy Evaluation of buildings considers user satisfaction, building pathologies and performance, as well as users interventions in the built environment. The possibility of identifying interventions regardless of the user could provide a significant gain in the efficiency of Post-Occupancy Evaluations. We foresee the application of Augmented Reality (AR) to improve the identification of renovations by overlapping the construction information model with an image of the actual building. This article validates the use of AR on existing smartphone and tablet applications. This study proposes the incorporation of AR into the planning, execution and application of Post-Occupancy Evaluation. For the planning, this study proposes the development of a new research tool. With regards to the execution, this study examined the data collection conditions on site through the visualization of overlapping models. For the application, this study proposes displaying the results through the use of RA information layers. The transparency oft he RA model was used to allow comparison between the virtual model and the real model. The development and adaptation of the virtual model and the solution developed for the experiment of the RA proposal are presented and discussed. The experiment points to shortcomings that still make the proposed technological solution unfeasible.
