Avaliação Pós Ocupação com Ênfase no Conforto Térmico: O Conjunto Habitacional de Oscar Niemeyer no Departamento Tecnológico Aeroespacial

This research addresses the quality of the thermal component of residential buildings and promotes a discussion about the linkage between temperature related issues and thermal comfort in residential buildings. To this end, the object of this study is a model of modern architecture, the H-17 housing block designed by Oscar Niemeyer and located in the campus of the Aerospace Technological Department (DCTA) in Sao Jose dos Campos/SP. In order to make recommendations for possible interventions and for the future research in the area of Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE), describes the proposition of adapting comfort and thermal inertia to the Bioclimatic Zone 3. For this purpose, a questionnaire, interviews and simulation of the thermal performance of the building were developed using the Energy Plus program, the research methodology includes the survey of data and regulations, the application of the APO, as well as behavioral and physical assessment. The results indicated a high degree of user satisfaction, with occasional dissatisfaction, discarding recommendations for future interventions. However, from the simulation of the original project, thermal comfort conditions were found below the Comfort Zone.
