Análise dos parâmetros de conforto térmico e eficiência energética de uma edificação em container

Abstract

The use of containers is a way to streamline construction and avoid waste. Within this concept, this work aims to analyze the parameters of a container building located in the city of Santa Maria, RS, as well as to present new solutions in sustainable constructions through the reuse of these cargo containers, besides simulating the thermal and energy performance of this container New form of housing. The research starts from an existing building where new characteristics are listed for the purpose of comparing the thermal and energetic comfort for the month of January, due to the fact that this period presents a higher index of discomfort and higher energy consumption when compared to the rest of the year. For this, a survey was carried out "in loco" in the building, observing the dimensions, lighting and equipment, in addition to an interview with the owner. The data were simulated in the software Domus - Eletrobrás and after the modifications of the building parameters, individual simulations of all the new characteristics were performed. Next, the data simulations were analyzed and compared with the existing building in order to verify if these contributed to the comfort and the reduction of the electric energy consumption.
