Abstract:
We evaluated the effect of some design variables on the thermal performance of a typical Brazilian dwelling made of lightweight and heavyweight components. The variables analyzed were the size of the building, the ceiling height and façade’s glazing area. The building thermal response was obtained by computer simulations considering the climatic conditions of the São Paulo City. The results show that the building made of lightweight components is most affected by design variations.
