This work deals with the use of the thermal simulation COMFIE tool, in the research project developed at Londrina State University / PR. In this research, 3 different building systems, represented by inhabited houses, are thermal-simulated and monitored. The obtained results are compared. The results allow us to verify the applicability and improve evaluation methods of thermal behavior of low-cost housing.
