Climatic Adaptation: Impacts On The Thermal Comfort Of Offices Buildings At Curitiba - Brazil.

Concerns about energy efficiency, has brought new constructive trends researches. Aspects as environmental comfort is quite important, with regard to new constructive technologies, showing the need of standardizing Brazilian buildings to acquire thermal comfort. The necessity of new internal environment data in buildings has motivated surveys about it. The proposal is to present the constructive typologies of buildings and their indoor variables in Curitiba city, Parana state, South of Brazil, relating it to the Bioclimatic Chart, proposed by Givoni [1], for countries in development. This work analyzed the constructive characteristics of 39 commercial buildings and environmental variables measured in internal environment of each one. The data was separated in winter and summer being inserted in the Bioclimatic Chart equivalent to Curitiba climate. That way it has verified that constructive typologies were more suitable for the region.
