RESCUE OF A BIOCLIMATIC SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL

Abstract:
The architecture using bioclimatic principles and passive solar conditioning, although it was the object of theoretical and practical studies at the end of the 20th century worldwide, in the regional scope of the North of Rio Grande do Sul, even in the current context, presents few examples. of your application. The present work rescues a work from the mid-1980s, executed in the city of Passo Fundo – RS; it is a single-family residence whose conceptual premise was to provide thermal comfort to users with the lowest possible energy consumption. These concepts anticipated contemporary concerns about sustainable construction and energy efficiency. Within this proposal, natural means were used for air conditioning, water heating and lighting. In this article, the basic concepts adopted and their respective characteristics are recovered from a qualitative analysis, as well as from the perspective of the theoretical frameworks that guided its conception and execution as an interpretive research. Initially, the passive solar architecture is contextualized and its validations to the local climate context. For that, the local climatic characterization and the parameters and design strategies applicable to these characteristics are presented. From a scientific point of view, a way is pointed out to prove its as-built performance, adopting contemporary monitoring and simulation methodologies. Thus, even though the application was based on some empirical variables, given the limited availability of data and tools in the early 1980s, with the adoption of architectural principles using passive natural resources, the residence reaches a differentiated thermal performance in relation to that normally found for its complex climatic characterization, fully meeting the needs of users, contrary to constructive and architectural standards in which environmental comfort requirements are generally neglected, and only achieved with the insertion of partial active conditioning.
