Projeto de climatização da Igreja Nossa Senhora de Fátima (Teresina – PI)

Abstract

According to data from the National Institute of Meteorology (INMET, 2019), Teresina PI is the second hottest capital in Brazil, behind only Boa Vista RO. That said, engineering projects that provide thermal comfort to people within a given environment are needed. According to ASHRAE 55 (2013), thermal comfort is defined as a condition of the mind that expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment that surrounds the person. The pres ent work aims to propose a climate project for the Catholic Church Nossa Senhora de Fatima (Catholic Church of Our Lady of Fatima) (Teresina PI) according to the technical standards in force in this country considering the costs and benefits, in order to provide thermal comfort for the participants of this religious institution. The methodology adopted from the literature review is based on the norms: NBR 16401(2008), NBR6401 (1980), NBR5410 (2004), ISO 7730 (2005) and on the Carrier Manual. A research wa s conducted regarding the orientation and geographical location of the Church, as well as the particularities of the building. Soon after, the thermal load to which this environment is submitted was calculated considering all the requirements of the standa rds. Afterwards, market research was conducted, and it was proposed an equipment that meets the requirements of the project; in addition, to meeting the cost and benefit requirement.
