A significant potential for energy consumption reduction in buildings lies on using a mixed-mode system for space conditioning, which consists on a combination of natural ventilation and mechanical systems for cooling. In spite of being a strategy commonly used in office buildings, it can be noticed that there are few technical information about its performance. Therefore, the aim of the …
The thermal conditions of classrooms affect well-being, personal development and health of its users. Poor indoor environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, can be prejudicial to students, and are aggravated by climate change and heatwaves. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to evaluate the impact of heatwaves and climate change on thermal comfort in naturally ven…
Shading and natural ventilation are effective bioclimatic strategies to assure thermal comfort in most part of the Brazilian territory. Balconies can be used as solar shading devices that behave as an eave to the lower floor, reducing the incidence of direct solar radiation, while allowing reflected and diffuse daylight and natural ventilation through openings. A systematic literature map…
The building sector is responsible for 36% of global energy consumption. Besides the lighting, air conditioning system and others appliances, the occupant behaviour also plays an important role on building energy use. Within this background, school buildings represent an opportunity to improve energy efficiency since its architectural design is in a unique position to demonstrate energy a…

This research project aims to develop robust architectural design strategies to mitigate future scenarios of overheating in naturally ventilated classrooms in developing countries. Computer simulations of two public-school buildings located in Campinas, Brazil, will be performed, to analyse their thermal performance under future climate-change scenarios. Performance metrics (objective fun…
Occupant behavior (OB) models have been developed during the last decade in order to predict and represent human behavior more accurately in the building performance simulation (BPS). The OB modelling approach usually comprises three main steps: the data collection (pre-processing), the OB model development and evaluation (processing) and the OB model implementation in BPS (post-processin…
Schools' classrooms often present poor indoor air quality (IAQ) conditions, especially if naturally ventilated, where the building's thermal and IAQ performance is directly associated to the occupant behavior regarding window and door operation. Therefore, research efforts have been directed at understanding which parameters are the main triggers for occupants' actions towards window oper…
Balconies are horizontal overhanging structures that can be used as solar shading devices. In medium and high-rise buildings, they can work as an eave to the lower floor, reducing undesirable direct solar radiation and diminishing cooling loads, while allowing reflected and diffuse daylight and natural ventilation through window opening. A systematic literature mapping regarding the effec…
