Análise do conforto térmico da sala A1-14 do prédio A do IFPI, campus Teresina Central

Abstract

O The thermal load calculation, following the guidelines of technical standards, is of vital importance for the air conditioning project. With that in mind, estimating the thermal load in industrial, business, commercial or school buildings is an essential tool to obtain both good thermal comfort for the occupants and optimization of energy efficiency. Thus, this work, with the aid of the NRB 16401/2008 and NBR 5858 standards, aims at the elaboration of the calculation of thermal loads in installations of building A, specifically in room A1-14, located in the IFPI campus Teresina Central. The following observations were verified: the type of activities carried out in the room, the number of people who occupy such environments, what equipment they use, some data on the structures of the rooms, such as the type of masonry, the sizing (area and perimeter) of walls, doors, windows. In the case of windows, the type of protection was also verified, so that based on NBR 16401/2008 we can verify the installed thermal load, in order to compare the theoretical thermal loads with the specifications of the air conditioning devices installed in the rooms of the building and thus suggest the ideal and appropriate equipment for better energy efficiency.
