The general objective of this research is to characterize the impact of passive strategies on the cooling demand and resilience of buildings throughout the 21st century. In this way, both mitigation and adaptation to climate change are considered. Buildings for private use (medium standard multi-family housing) and collective use (university classrooms) in Brazil will be studied. For the …
It is widespread amongst professionals and researchers that buildings with higher external envelope thermal resistance are more comfortable and consume less energy. In a previous research, for Portugal and Southern European countries, it was verified that a highly insulated envelope can cause overheating in summer. The aim of this work is to do a similar study applied to Brazilian buildin…
The research aims to characterize the air infiltration rate in urban Brazilian single-family ground-floor residences. The infiltration rate, which corresponds to air renewal through the building envelope when all windows and doors are closed, is a crucial aspect for the thermal performance of dwellings. The choice of residences as the object of study is due to the existence of ABNT standa…
Building thermal performance simulation is generally used for a design's verification in final stages, when the highest gains in cost as well as thermal comfort are achieved in the early stages. Challenges for implementing these tools in such stages reduces the time, resources and expertise knowledge required. Simplified simulation tools are seen as an alternative; however, due to the ina…
Thermal comfort principles are essential to ensure good quality housing, but in most social housing projects in Brazil, such criteria have not been considered satisfactorily. Detailed computer simulation, that may preditc the performance of constructions in the design stage, are mainly used in the design's final stages to validate decisions already made. Since the high complexity of such…
The main objective of the research is to evaluate the potential energy savings in office buildings with hybrid ventilation strategies through computer simulations of daylighting and thermal energy performance of these buildings in two distinct climatic regions in Brazil. The method consists in computer simulations of thermal performance and daylighting through the softwares EnergyPlus and…

This project presents research to be conducted as part of an international internship scholarship; the proposed activities are related to parts of a master of science research entitled "Assessment tool for thermal performance of social house: envelope considerations" (FAPESP process n. 2013/16628-9) that will be performed at North Carolina State University (NCSU), Raleigh, NC. The propose…
Building thermal performance simulation tools are important in a design process in all its stages, mainly in the early ones. However, some barriers prevent the effective implementation of these tools in architecture offices such as time, resources and the expertise knowledge required. Thus, regression models (meta-models), which are derived from a large number of robust simulations, are p…
