| Abstract | |
The use of natural ventilation and lighting by buildings reduces the environmental impacts and allows a better harmony between the building and its surroundings. It can be seen in the work of the architect João Filgueiras Lima, Lelé, which provides a rational use of electricity, comfort to the users and the humanization of the spaces. This work shows Lelés design methodology for the conception of a more comfortable building. After that, this research identifies thermal comfort and natural ventilation strategies used by this architect through the evaluation of two Sarah Network Rehabilitation hospitals, which are located in the Salvador - BA and Rio de Janeiro - RJ. The analysis is divided in two steps: initially a qualitative analysis based on the identification and characterization of these strategies. Then it was done the quantitative analysis based on field research of environmental variables as temperature, humidity and air velocity, lighting levels and also through wind tunnel experiments. The analysis of the results was based on interviews, field research, the ASHRAE 55-2004 and NBR/ABNT 5413 standards, the comparison of the air velocity variables in each hospital analyzed in the wind tunnel, and the data obtained in specialized literature. The analysis presented in this work shows the Lelés concern about the incorporation of bioclimatic aspects since the design conception, highlighting the importance of his professional experiences. Furthermore, the results indicated that the main evolution occurred in the Rio de Janeiro Sarah Hospital was about structure and geometry of the sheds on the roofing. (AU) | |
