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 …
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…
Shading and natural ventilation are effective bioclimatic strategies to assure thermal comfort in most part of the Brazilian territory. Balconies can be used as a solar shading device that behave as an eave to the lower floor, reducing the incidence of direct solar radiation, while allowing the entrance of reflected and diffuse light and natural ventilation through windows openings.

The atmospheric boundary wind tunnel constitutes an important tool to study of the action of the wind on the most diverse types of civil structures. The equipment can be used to develop tests inside small-scale models, in order to understand how they will be affected by the air movement, allowing the analysis of several variables related natural ventilation in buildings, such as speed, pr…
In civil construction, using natural resources and climatic conditions adequately contribute to obtain better thermal comfort and air movement conditions in buildings. However, due to the constant process of urban verticalization, using techniques of natural ventilation in buildings situated in densely urbanized areas represents a huge challenge for the architectural design. Being so, the…

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…
