Full textAs a means of solving the housing deficit caused by the rapid growth of the urban population, public authorities have been promoting over the last few decades actions aimed at encouraging the production of popular housing projects. Currently, the federal government, by means of a national housing policy, is focusing investments on what is called the Band 1 of the program My House, My Life (in Portuguese, Programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida – PMCMV), which aims to create mechanisms to encourage the production and purchase of new housing units by families with monthly income of up to 1,800.00 reais. Launched in 2009, the program contracted more than 4.2 million housing units until February 2017. With that in mind, the construction of popular housing has proven committed to meeting the demand for quantity but is inefficient regarding design and construction quality. Although, for most beneficiaries, the buildings represent an evolution in their housing pattern, basic requirements of appropriate housing are depreciated. With solutions usually focused on construction speed and scale economy, a rationalization of space production prevails. Other aspects are left in the background, such as: environmental comfort criteria, functionality, proper location and even, in some cases, construction quality. Providing the market with quality environments is as important as supplying the housing demand, mainly under the perspective of the future resident. The quality of a building results in the welfare of the user promoted by the living conditions, and the architectural design is the way to develop these conditions.

Full textThe current wide range of alternatives in building materials makes it possible for architects to have greater control over aspects affecting thermal comfort in their designs for social dwelling. The existence of rules governing thermal comfort parameters does not mean that dwelling units are always constructed within the optimal parameters, as this depends on the quality of projects, the correct execution of construction work, and the economic constraints of users. This study was motivated by user complaints relating to thermal comfort inside the BNH Santos dwelling units, which were built in 1969. These complaints identify the main thermal problems occurring in the dwellings units. The objective of this research is to verify whether users live within the existing standards for thermal comfort, and to recommend possible solutions so that the apartments can all be within proper thermal comfort parameters. Based on reports from users, measurements were taken on site to determine whether there was compatibility between the results obtained in the POE and the measured results, and to identify whether any compatibilities applied to existing standards of thermal comfort. Energyplus software simulations were carried out, in order to determine proposed improvements to apartments whose inhabitants were experiencing thermal discomfort. The results show that most users understand that, during the year, the apartments have high temperatures that generate thermal discomfort. This discomfort may occur as a result of the occupation of each apartment, and may go beyond the influence of the direct sunlight that each apartment receives throughout the day.

Full textMaster of Science
Research has established a link between LGBTQ+ identity and high victimization rates. However, transgender experiences specifically are not well understood because they are often grouped in under the monolithic label of LGBTQ+ experiences, despite the specific risks associated with non-normative gender identities. It has also been established that the police function is grounded in the maintenance of the status quo. Given that LGBTQ+ individuals, and transgender individuals in particular, disrupt the status quo, many of their interactions with police have been negative. In this study, I examine how varying degrees of "visible" gender nonconformity affect a transgender individual's comfort level with asking for police help. I hypothesize that transgender people who visibly transgress gender norms by physically presenting as a gender that does not match their driver's license or state identification card will be less comfortable asking the police for help than transgender individuals who do not have such incongruence. Through a logistic regression analysis of the 2015 United States Transgender Survey, I find that those groups who visibly transgress gender norms have a higher likelihood of experiencing discomfort with asking for police help. These findings have important implications for our understanding of transgender victimization by elucidating the barriers to police officers' ability to prevent or lessen the effects of victimization within the transgender community.

Full textThis methodological study had the following objectives: to adapt the Perceived Stigmatization Questionnaire (PSQ) and the Social Comfort Questionnaire (SCQ); and to assess the validity and reliability in a sample of Brazilians who suffered burns. The PSQ and the SCQ assesses respectively, the perception of stigmatization and the social comfort among burn victims. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committees of the institutions studied. We included patients over 18 years old undergoing rehabilitation process of burn, with or without hospitalization in two Burn Units in Brazil. The cross-cultural adaptation process of the instruments was performed according to international guidelines. The construct validity related to the dimensionality of the instruments was evaluated by the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The reliability analysis was performed using the Cronbach\'s alpha. The reproducibility of the instruments was assessed by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The construct validity was assessed by the multitrait-multimethod matrix (MTMM) through the constructs: self-esteem (Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale), depression (Beck Depression Inventory) and affection/body image and interpersonal relationships (Burn Specific Health Scale-Revised). The analysis of known-groups was tested by comparing the scores of the instruments according to the burn visibility, body surface in the area burned and gender. The significance level was 0.05. A total of 240 burn patients participated in the study. The goodness-of-fit indices were satisfactory for the total score of the PSQ, however, not for the subscale hostile behavior. This subscale was modified by removing 3 items to obtain a better adjust: the PSQ refined version (BR-PSQ-R) (?2=229.53; d.f.=132; p<0.001; RMSEA=0.06; CFI=0.94; TLI=0.94). Cronbach\'s alpha ranged from 0.65 to 0.88. The ICC value was 0.87 for the total score. The BR-PSQ-R showed strong and positive correlation with depression (0.63; p < 0.001), and strong and negative correlation with self-esteem (-0.57; p<0.001), and affection/body image (-0.63; p<0.001), and interpersonal relationships (-0.55; p<0.001). The total score of the BR-PSQ-R was significant and higher for patients with visible scars (effect size=0.51; p=0.029). In the CFA of the SCQ was identified unsatisfactory goodness-of-fit for the original model with one-factor structure with 8 items, thus, the model was reduced to 6 items (BR-SCQ-R) and better goodness-of-fit indices were identified (?2=458.7; d.f.=7; p<0.001; RMSEA=0.05; CFI=0.99; TLI=0.99). Cronbach\'s alpha was 0.80 and the ICC value in the test-retest was 0.86 for the BR-PSQ-R. The final version showed strong and negative correlation with depression (-0.56; p<0.001); and strong and positive correlations with affection/body image (0.60; p<0.001), interpersonal relationships (0.57; p<0.001) and self-esteem (0.52; p<0.001). In the analysis of known- groups we identified statistically significant difference between patients who considered their scars visible (effect size=-0.49; p=0.012). The results showed that the refined versions of the PSQ and SCQ showed reliability and validity comparable to the original versions. On the other hand, the structure related to the hostile behavior subscale of the BR-PSQ-R and the sensitivity of both instruments must be evaluated in future studies.

The search for mild conditions for users of buildings not air-conditioned, especially residential is of paramount importance in hot and humid regions. Climatic factors represent major influence on environmental projects built for getting the comfort of its occupants and efficiency in energy consumption. The research is meant to examine the parameters of thermal comfort in affordable housing a set in Singapore and the relationship of each of the comfort indices PMV and PPD, this because the thermal conditions under which the inhabitants are subjected may exercise great influence on their behavior, reactions and health. The research is descriptive, with a quantitative and qualitative approach, using data collected inside the residence, based on the ISO 7730/2005, to analyze the environment by means of statistical techniques and computational resources. The housing Anayde Beiriz, chosen for study, is situated in the neighborhood of Industries in the city of João Pessoa / Paraíba. The assessed apartments have different orientations according to their location on the ground; addition to situate on the last floor and the ends of each block. The sample consisted of 19 apartments of which data were collected from 8h to 17h in the days selected using the equipment called, Heat Stress Meter (TGD 300). With the data a statistical analysis was performed to identify which parameters have most influence on thermal comfort those affordable housing. The results showed the thermal behavior within the evaluated units that resulted in high temperatures analyzed in the winter and summer periods. It was concluded that the personal and climatic variables, involving the parameters of thermal comfort, have correlation with the wind chill into the housing having high correlation to air temperature and low correlation thermal resistance of clothing. All units showed thermal discomfort with the PMV values above 0.5, ranking environments as slightly warm or hot in most of the evaluated times, with the PPD index greater than 10% in both periods studied. - Winter and Summer Yet in the winter for a few hours of the morning period showed sensation of thermal comfort, with the lowest PPD index or equal to 10%, with a tendency that feeling also occur at night.
A busca de condições amenas para os usuários de edifícios não climatizados, sobretudo os residenciais é de suma importância em regiões de clima quente e úmido. Os fatores climáticos representam grande influência nos projetos do ambiente construído para a obtenção do conforto dos seus ocupantes e eficiência no consumo de energia. A pesquisa tem como objetivo principal analisar os parâmetros de conforto térmico em habitações populares de um conjunto em João Pessoa e a relação de cada um nos índices de conforto PMV e PPD, isto porque, as condições térmicas sob as quais os moradores são submetidos podem exercer grande influência sobre seu comportamento, reações e saúde. A pesquisa é de natureza descritiva, com uma abordagem quanti-qualitativa, ao utilizar dados coletados no interior da residência, baseados a Norma ISO 7730/2005, para analisar o ambiente por meio de técnicas estatísticas e recursos computacionais. O conjunto habitacional Anayde Beiriz, escolhido para estudo, está situado no bairro das Industrias na cidade de João Pessoa/Paraíba. Os apartamentos avaliados apresentam diferentes orientações conforme sua locação no terreno; além de situarem-se no ultimo pavimento e nas extremidades de cada bloco. A amostra foi composta por 19 apartamentos dos quais foram coletados dados das 8h ás 17h nos dias escolhidos, utilizando o equipamento denominado, Medidor de Estresse Térmico (TGD 300). Com os dados foi realizada uma análise estatística para identificar quais parâmetros possuem maior influência no conforto térmico naquelas habitações populares. Os resultados apresentaram o comportamento térmico dentro das habitações avaliadas que resultaram em temperaturas elevadas nos períodos analisados do Inverno e Verão. Concluiu-se que as variáveis pessoais e climáticas, que envolvem os parâmetros de conforto térmico, possuem correlação com a sensação térmica dentro das habitações, tendo alta correlação a temperatura do ar e baixa correlação a resistência térmica da vestimenta. Todas as habitações apresentaram desconforto térmico, com os valores do PMV acima de 0,5, classificando os ambientes como levemente quente ou quente na maioria dos horários avaliados, com o índice PPD superior a 10% nos dois períodos estudados - Inverno e Verão. Todavia, no inverno durante algumas horas do período matutino revelaram sensação de conforto térmico, apresentando o índice PPD menor ou igual a 10%, com tendência dessa sensação ocorrer também à noite.

Full textThis architectural thesis is the reaction to the conceptual impasse found within most of the researches centred around behavioural patterns concerning energy consumption within housing, which is examined from either a technical or a cultural angle while failing to represent an overall view of energy consumption practices. The thesis is based on an inductive research approach following two surveys: with twenty households from the social housing sector and with six from the private housing sector, which generate a comprehensive ethnographic definition of domestic practices. This definition is predominantly based on a newly formulated methodology which provides insight into the real uses of energy with regards to domestic activities by applying a spacial quality to the context and dimension of such behaviours. The results reveals a strong link between the connection that the inhabitants have with their dwellings (resulting from their use of various spaces and their creation of particular environments, the staging of the home) and their relationship with energy (via the use of energy-based appliances, of heating and ventilation), rather than economic factors which are only relevent in extreme cases. Behaviours concerning consumption therefore take place within the context of a created environment made liveable and comfortable by its occupants and therefore a very subjective context with regards to «living well» and «consuming well»

Full textThe so-called 'hard-boiled' detective story is probably one of the most successful formulaic fictive patterns to be developed this century; and has been translated very effectively into popular film and television drama. Its founding fathers are normally deemed to be Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald. A study of their works should provide a valuable insight into the structure of their patterns and how they are made to work to the public's satisfaction. After all, the one indisputable and verifiable matter in the whole business is that these sort of texts appeal to great numbers of people who read them because they enjoy reading them. Some of the interesting questions thus revolve around the issue of why these fictions are so well liked. However, a study of literary formulas assumes the necessity of demonstrating what those particular formulas are. There are three predominating structures which, to my mind, build this kind of fiction into its finished shape. Firstly, there are the comfort factors which offer the reader a sense of security. Secondly, there is their sense of moral fantasy which allows the reader to escape from the confines of their everyday lives. And thirdly, in the best of these works, there is some element of the new and/or the unconventional, often in the form of social and political criticism encapsulated within the safe formulas of the text. This adds the necessary spice to the life of the construct.

In Brazil, the technical standards for thermal performance of buildings [NBR 15.220:3 (ABNT, 2005)], acts as a guideline for design in architecture in order to reduce energy consumption and allow better building efficiency providing appropriate criteria for each climate zone. This research aims to evaluate, according to the parameters suggested by the standards, the thermal performance of building envelope of social housing in cities within different climate zones, in the state of Paraíba. This research follows four steps: 1) description of the climate in the cities of João Pessoa, Campina Grande and Patos based on climatic data schedules from typical reference years for each city; 2) definition of the base case and reference models, considering a single-family building, following the standards suggested recommendations for opaque and transparent surfaces; 3) configuration of the numerical model to simulate the studied parameters, and finally, 4) evaluation method for thermal performance, using the working temperature as an index of comfort, according to the adaptive model for naturally ventilated buildings. It was perceived that the recommendations for thermal transmittance suggested by the standard are not suitable for social housing buildings in João Pessoa and Patos, whereas resulting appropriate for the climate conditions of Campina Grande. It was also noted that increased opening areas do not ensure better performances, resulting in some cases in increased heat gains, therefore increasing internal temperature. To sum up, the three cities showed diverse results, under climatic conditions that require more consistent criteria, thus confirming the need to update the recommendations and constructive guidelines of this technical standard.
No Brasil, a norma de Desempenho térmico de edificações - NBR 15.220:3 (ABNT, 2005), objetiva reduzir o consumo de energia e permitir uma melhor eficiência do edifício, com critérios diferenciados para o clima de cada região. A partir dos parâmetros sugeridos pela referida norma, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo avaliar o desempenho térmico da envoltória de uma edificação de interesse social em cidades de climas distintos no estado da Paraíba. Foram definidas quatro etapas para desenvolvimento desta pesquisa: 1) caracterização do clima de João Pessoa, Campina Grande e Patos, a partir dos dados climáticos horários do ano típico de referência de cada cidade; 2) definição do caso base e dos modelos de referência, considerando uma edificação unifamiliar e a partir das recomendações sugeridas pela norma para fechamentos opacos e transparentes; 3) configuração do modelo numérico (computacional) para simulação dos parâmetros estudados, e, por último, 4) definição do método de avaliação de desempenho térmico, utilizando a temperatura operativa como índice de conforto, de acordo com o modelo adaptativo para edificações ventiladas naturalmente. Foi observado que as recomendações sugeridas pela norma em relação ao valor de transmitância térmica não são adequadas para edificações de interesse social em João Pessoa e Patos, mas resultaram em condições favoráveis para o clima de Campina Grande. Conclui-se que as três cidades demonstraram resultados distintos, com condições climáticas que exigem critérios mais coerentes, confirmando a necessidade de atualização das recomendações e diretrizes construtivas desta norma.

Full textHuman comfort has been approached here in a comprehensive and qualitative perspective. Based on the finding of the dissemination of comfort in the life of contemporary Brazilian society, a bibliometric analysis of the adherence to the theme by the areas of knowledge in the Scopus database was made. Then a semantic approximation through the Portuguese language was elaborated, in terms of morphology, etymology, meanings, synonymy and relations of analogical groups. Thirty-seven variations of the word comfort were identified, distributed across several classes of words, which evidences the richness of their cognition. Three accepted cores were proposed concerning the notion of comfort: autochthonous, medieval and modern. The emphasis on the third core nowadays has led to a reductionist approach to the full sense of comfort and we see how it is made use of it in common sense and across disciplines. It was possible to observe the fragmentation of comfort, inter and intra-disciplinary, and in nursing there is a more consistent reflection on the subject. In the absence of a seminal reflection of comfort, prior to its disciplinarization, the research focused on a comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon and its relation to human development in dealing with its multiple notions, its semantic aspects and peering through hybrid approach with phenomenological emphasis. The work has attempted to contribute to the comfort of being a category of human thought. When put in question, it was also justified because we place it between affection and artifact and its general implications in relation to the human being engaged in the world

Full textOne of the roles of housing is to protect individuals from the weather to which they are subject, saving inside a protection against the severities of the climate. When the house does n ot respect this principle of comfort, individuals are subject to the emergence of physical or psychosocial disorders. Studies show that thermal comfort directly influences productivity at work (Oliveira et al, 2010.), Yield of studies (Batiz; GOEDERT; MORS CH; Kasmirski - Jr; Venske, 2009) and especially in population health (Araujo, 2012). In this context, the main residents are affected as to mitigate the discomfort in their homes, they need to use artificial means of cooling, almost always, inconsistent wit h its income group. The proposed study aims to evaluate the thermal performance of single - storey and single - family dwellings built and in use Sumarà neighborhood in the city of Sobral / CearÃ, and the thermal comfort of its users. To this end, we preserve housing characteristics of the original design were chosen. Selected dwellings are part of a city program to build housing in order to meet the population living in risk areas prone to flooding. The method used for performance evaluation based on requireme nts and criteria proposed by the NBR 15220 (ABNT, 2005), which are obtained from the mathematical calculation of thermal parameters that consider the performance of the building components. It was also evaluated the perceptions of users through questionnai res that were applied in July and August 2013 The degree of satisfaction was checked according to the Estimated Mean Vote (PMV - Predicted Mean Vote) suggested by Fanger and regulated by the International 7730 Organization for Standardization (ISO, 2005) a nd American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air - Conditioning Engi neers (ASHRAE, 2004). In parallel, measurements were made of the internal and external temperatures using thermo - hygrometer to compare with the opinion of the respondents. The results show that the tested housing have poor thermal performance. Regarding the results of the interviews, it can be noticed that the calculated thermal performance reflects the opinion of respondents who consider their thermally uncomfortable dwellings.
Um dos papÃis da moradia à resguardar os indivÃduos das intempÃries a que estÃo sujeitos, conservando em seu interior uma proteÃÃo contra as severidades do clima. Quando a moradia nÃo respeita esse princÃpio de conforto, os indivÃduos ficam sujeitos ao surgimento de patologias fÃsicas ou psicossociais. Estudos mostram que o conforto tÃrmico influencia diretamente na produtividade no trabalho (OLIVEIRA et al., 2010), no rendimento dos estudos (BATIZ; GOEDERT; MORSCH; KASMIRSKI-Jr; VENSKE, 2009) e, principalmente na saÃde da populaÃÃo (ARAUJO, 2012). Nesse contexto, os moradores sÃo os principais afetados, pois, para mitigar a sensaÃÃo de desconforto em suas habitaÃÃes, necessitam utilizar meios para climatizaÃÃo artificial, quase sempre, incompatÃvel com a sua faixa de renda. O trabalho proposto tem como objetivo, avaliar o desempenho tÃrmico de habitaÃÃes tÃrreas e unifamiliares construÃdas e em uso no bairro SumarÃ, no municÃpio de Sobral/CearÃ, e o conforto tÃrmico de seus usuÃrios. Para tanto, foram escolhidas habitaÃÃes que preservassem caracterÃsticas do projeto original. As habitaÃÃes selecionadas fazem parte de um programa municipal para construÃÃo de moradias, a fim de atender a populaÃÃo que vive em Ãrea de risco sujeitas a inundaÃÃes. O mÃtodo utilizado para a avaliaÃÃo de desempenho baseia-se em requisitos e critÃrios propostos pela NBR 15220 (ABNT, 2005), que sÃo obtidos a partir do cÃlculo matemÃtico de parÃmetros tÃrmicos que consideram o desempenho de componentes da edificaÃÃo. Avaliou-se, tambÃm, a percepÃÃo dos usuÃrios atravÃs de questionÃrios que foram aplicados nos meses de julho e agosto de 2013. O grau de satisfaÃÃo foi verificado segundo o Voto MÃdio Estimado (PMV â Predicted Mean Vote) sugerido por Fanger e normatizado pela International Organization for Standardization 7730 (ISO, 2005) e American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE, 2004). Em paralelo, fizeram-se aferiÃÃes das temperaturas internas e externas usando termo-higrÃmetro para comparar com a opiniÃo dos entrevistados. Os resultados mostram que as habitaÃÃes avaliadas possuem desempenho tÃrmico insatisfatÃrio. Quanto aos resultados das entrevistas, pode-se perceber que o desempenho tÃrmico calculado reflete a opiniÃo dos entrevistados que consideram suas habitaÃÃes termicamente desconfortÃveis.

Full textBuilding thermal and energy performance simulation programs are gaining more and more importance due to the possibilities they present for a project evaluation. However, there are difficulties for its use in the early stages of the project, because they demand time, specialized technicians, high budgets and a detailed project. Currently, there are simplified computer tools, but they present limits to the possibilities of its use, since they do not offer accurate results as more complex methods. Therefore, this work proposes to evaluate the possibilities of simplification of the thermal zones in EnergyPlus simulation program without compromising the results of the simulations. This simplification would help the computational tools use in the early design of the project. The studied building is a naturally ventilated single-story isolated social house, simulated for three cities of Brazil (Curitiba, Manaus and São Paulo). This building is modeled in two ways: as a multizone model (MuZ) and as a monozone model (MoZ), where the entire floorplan is considered as one thermal zone. The impact of the thermal zones simplification is evaluated in two studies considering: 1) several schedules for internal doors opening and closing, and 2) different building geometries and floorplans. In both studies, the results show that the absolute difference of temperature between the MoZs and MuZs models is significantly low for all of the cases, being below 0.4ºC more than 50% of the time. The maximum differences found between MoZs and MuZs are obtained in models simulated in colder climates, in models where internal doors are considered closed and in smaller rooms with reduced exposure to solar radiation. The minimum and maximum annual differences of the air temperature between the MoZ and MuZ are considerably high. However, these values are observed in a specific day and hour, with the annual average being significantly low for all cases.

Simulação de uma residência unifamiliar de interesse social pelos métodos prescritivo e de simulação encontrados no RTQ-R (Regulamento Técnico da Qualidade para o Nível de Eficiência Energética de Edificações Residenciais) que faz parte do selo de eficiência energética do programa Procel Edifica criado pelo Ministério de Minas e Energia em parceria com o Governo Federal. Este estudo compara e avalia os métodos utilizados para qualificar energeticamente as edificações residenciais no Brasil. Com base nos resultados obtidos nas simulações propõe possíveis meios de ampliar o conforto ambiental e reduzir o consumo energético desse tipo de edificação. A avaliação é feita em uma edificação típica e com padrões mínimos exigidos pelo programa MCMV (Minha Casa, Minha Vida), situada na cidade de Porto Alegre no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. O estudo é comparativo e adota diferentes critérios construtivos, dentre eles: a ampliação das aberturas para comparar a influência da ventilação e iluminação; alteração da absortividade externa da residência; sombreamento das aberturas que resultará em diferentes absorções de calor e a influência da orientação solar da edificação. Observou-se que, pelos critérios de avaliação encontrados no RTQ-R, para esta zona bioclimática do Brasil, há uma maior preocupação com as temperaturas quentes e, para estas, as medidas tomadas com intuito de ampliar o conforto se mostraram benéficas. A alteração da absortividade do revestimento externo da residência resultou em maior eficiência entre as demais medidas adotadas. Quando se fazem avaliações com as temperaturas frias e quentes, simultaneamente, e com o mesmo grau de importância, praticamente, temos uma compensação nos resultados, o que nos leva a entender por que o RTQ-R prioriza as temperaturas quentes. Ao serem avaliados os dois extremos de temperaturas focando o conforto ambiental, percebe-se que, pelos resultados encontrados, é mais lógico tratarmos com medidas naturais o extremo de temperaturas mais prejudicial ao conforto, para que, no outro extremo, possa ser utilizado algum sistema artificial de tratamento térmico, mas com menor impacto econômico. Um sistema de tratamento térmico poderia ser o uso do potencial geotérmico. Outro fator analisado é que o RTQ-R poderia ser mais criterioso e, também, demonstrou ser confuso. Neste trabalho propõe-se uma avaliação criteriosa em relação ao conforto ambiental para atender às necessidades dos usuários.
Simulation of a single-family residence social interest in prescriptive and simulation methods found in the RTQ-R (Quality Technical Regulation for Energy Efficiency Level Residential Buildings) part of the energy efficiency seal Procel Edifica program created by the Ministry of Mines and Energy in partnership with the Federal Government. This study compares and evaluates the methods used to qualify the energy residential buildings in Brazil. Based on the results obtained in the simulations proposes possible means of increasing the environmental comfort and reduce energy consumption of this type of building. The assessment is made in a typical building and minimum standards required by the MCMV (Minha Casa, Minha Vida), in the city of Porto Alegre in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The study is comparative and adopts different construction criteria, including: the expansion of openings to compare the influence of ventilation and lighting; changing the external absorptivity of residence; shading of the openings will result in different absorption of heat and the influence of solar orientation of the building. It was observed that the evaluation criteria found in the RTQ-R, for this bioclimatic zone of Brazil, there is a greater concern with the warm temperatures and, for these, the measures taken in order to enlarge the comfort proved beneficial. Changing the absorptivity the outer covering of the residence resulted in greater efficiency among the other measures adopted. When making evaluations with the cold and warm temperatures simultaneously and with the same degree of importance, practically, we have a compensation in the results, which leads us to understand why the RTQ-R gives priority to hot temperatures. When evaluated the two extremes of temperatures focusing on the environmental comfort, it is clear that the results found, it is more logical to treat natural extreme measures more harmful to the comfort temperature, so that at the other end, can be used a system artificial heat treatment but with less economic impact. A thermal treatment system could be the use of geothermal potential. Another factor considered is that RTQ-R could be more selective and also proved to be confused. In this paper we propose a careful assessment in relation to environmental comfort to meet the needs of users.

Abstract: The present study aims to contrast the Church Social Doctrine presence in assistance action, undertaken by CNBB, through the Fraternity Campaigns from the years 1986, 2002 and 2007, dealing specifically with the land‟s issue. We chose the land‟s theme because we observed that the private property issue is the beginning and the end of the doctrine question, whose design shape today's society such as that expressed need for the creation of the divine plan on Earth, through actions would lead to building a society that, would take the concern for the comfort. The documents that underlie our research are beyond the basic texts and documentation relating to Campaigns, the papal encyclicals and diverse bibliography that conveys the main Catholic Social Doctrine points, and authors who, somehow, have discussed issues raised by the doctrine

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to examine what residents’ community participation by way of local night patrol for social reassurance and community meetings in a “deprived neighborhood” has to say about integration. Through ethnographic field study and participant observation the study aims to capture the participants’ perspective of the participation, examine what impact the engagement has on the local community as well as what the affects and participation has to say about integration. The empirical material is analyzed and discussed from the basis of relevant theories of community, social boundaries, social reassurance as well as structural respectively social integration. The engagement of the residents aims to increase the feeling of social security and reassurance in the local community, and parallelly it creates forum for language practice and social encounters that goes beyond social and ethnic boundaries. The increasement of personal relationships seems to indirectly lead to a higher level of social reassurance as well as a feeling of solidarity in the community. Structural factors on a macro level, however, seems to work as barriers for the residents’ participation and involvement in a general societal and national fellowship and community.

Full textTo make the dwelling your own is of great importance for your well-being.The swedish architect Ola Nylander presents in his research seven different fields of qualities.These qualities are supposed to work as tool for measuring how easy it is to make the dwelling yourown. Those qualities are: material and details, axiality, closeness/openness, motion, spatial shapes,light and organisation of rooms. This thesis is based on the seven fields of qualities and examinesthe characteristics that are important for the comfort of the dwelling. The building in the survey is apassive house on the property Flaggskepparen 5 of the Western Harbour in Malmö.The purpose with this thesis is to examine which fields of qualities that are of importance forthe perception of the comfort in a passive apartment block. 9 interviews have been conducted withthe residents of the building. The interviews has lasted between 20 to 60 minutes. All of theinterviews took place in their apartments except for one. The interviews were transcribed andanalysed based on the fields of qualities. There has also been made a simple inventory of thedifferent features in the spaces surrounding their private homes. For example, the staircase insidethe building and the courtyard that belongs to the house.The conclusion of this thesis is that the seven fields of qualities have difference significationfor making the dwelling your own. Together, they provide a tool for measuring the perception of thewell-being in the dwelling. Some of the fields of qualities are easier for the residents to understandand therefore easier to examine. Other fields of qualities have been hard to detect in the survey andharder for the residents to understand. Together, though, they make up a greater role in themeasuring of the perception of the well-being. The most easily interpretable properties of the fieldsof qualities in this study are: material and details, closeness/openness and light. They are thereforealso the fields that could be considered to being of most relevance for the comfort of the dwelling.

Full textThe current design of energy-efficient buildings used to be performed by dynamic thermal simulations using conventional hypotheses like those of the 2012 French thermal regulations (weather reports, occupancy, temperature set, operations of windows and shutters by occupants, etc...). However, feedback highlights a great difference in energy consumption between forecasts on the one hand and in situ measurements in winter as well as overheating in summer on the other hand. According to the scientific community, even if many factors can account for this gap, the inhabitants seem to play a major role in it as well. Indeed, by acting on their windows and shutters, they modify the renewal rate of fresh air and the management of solar contributions. As the matter of fact, the use and the type of windows and shutters affect the energy consumptions and the comfort. The aim of this study is to analyse the thermal evolution of occupied apartments in order to establish a behavioral model of the occupants. This will allow us to quantify the impact of architectural modifications on the thermal comfort and the energy performances of buildings.Two residential buildings are investigated in Vauvert (a city in southern of France). Both of them were built in 1969 using the same constructive techniques and have lately been renovated in a similar way (CMV, boilers, windows). The only difference is that on the facade of one of them an external thermal insulation has recently been installed. The analysis of the real thermal conditions, of the actual human behavior and of the amount of energy consumed is built on surveys and on an extensive year-round in situ instrumentation in the living rooms of 13 apartments. It allows us to define a behavioral model of occupants based on 32 different combinations in the operations of windows and shutters. We can divide them into three occupants' profiles (the “expert” occupant, the “active” occupant and the “counterproductive” occupant). Digital Pléiades+COMFIE simulations are made in order to validate this model. The refined modeling of the dynamic thermal simulation parameters helps to understand the impact on the thermal comfort and the energy consumption of different architectural strategies in the Mediterranean area.In winter the thermal analysis of the two residential buildings (insulated and non insulated) shows similar levels of consumption, but a lower level of thermal comfort in the non insulated case. However during temperature peaks in summer, overheating appears in the insulated dwellings, but human behavior is the key to limit occupants’ discomfort. The analysis of in situ measurements shows that strategies to cool down the apartments are not always implemented by occupants. Architectural solutions mitigating “counterproductive” occupants’ behavior are finally examined

Full textUppsatsen analyserade vad som kan ge arbetsglädje samt utvärderade effekter på upplevd hälsa, gott liv och arbetsglädje av de ergonomiska åtgärder som vidtagits på ett större livsmedelsföretag. Ergonomi här definierat ur ett helhetsperspektiv: Människan är en komplex varelse och hon granskades i den kontext som arbetet och arbetsorganisationen utgjorde. Frågeställningen utvärderas i termer av målbildens nyckelord. Målbild är:
”Vi bidrar till ett lönsamt Alexander genom meningsfullt arbete där alla medarbetare känner glädje och trivsel samt bibehåller god hälsa. Här utvecklas vi som individer i ett öppet ochärligt arbetsklimat.”
Den undersökta gruppen bestod av maskinoperatörer och deras ledning, arbetsledare, produktionschef och platschef. De metoder som användes var enkät och intervju. Maskinoperatörerna besvarade enkäten med besvärsfrågor, inställning till livet och hälsansamt personliga mått för BMI-beräkning. En korrelationsmatris beräknades för att analysera hur variablerna som beskrev arbetsglädje samvarierade. Resultatet visade ingen markant förändring av vare sig hälsa, besvär eller arbetsglädje. Besvärsnivåerna var genomgående höga till mycket höga. Behovet av sjukskrivning pga. besvären hade ökat. Många var överviktiga.Sju personer, operatörer samt personer från ledningen på företaget, intervjuades djupare angående sina attityder till arbetsglädje. Här fann vi stora likheter i hur de ansåg attarbetsglädje främjas samt sin egen roll i detta. De korrelationer som uppmättes ger ytterligare stöd för vad andra studier visat: Demokratiska processer, information och utvecklingsmöjligheter ger ökat engagemang och högre grad av arbetsglädje. Signifikanta samband mellan stöd från arbetsledningen och upplevelse av god hälsa och ett bra liv var ytterligare ett fynd. En möjlig förklaring till bristen av påverkan av de ergonomiska förändringarna är en alltför kort studietid.

Full textThe physical environment, has a great importance on animal physiology affecting breeding and production. Due to climate change and animal breeding, which enphasizes higher production per animal, animals might get heat stressed from high temperatures, changing their behavior and their welfare. This study was performed to assess the social and feeding behavior and physiological attributes of dairy cows during the warm season with or without access to shade. The study was conducted in Lages, SC, using 14 lactating cows at grazing. These animals were divided into two groups, one group remained under the sunlight, without access to shade, while the other group was kept in shade-provided environment. Ingestive and social behavior of animals was observed from 7:30 (GMT -2:00) to 23:00 (GMT -2:00), registered at 10-minutes interval totaling 650 minutes. Respiratory and heart rate, body temperature and number of ruminal movements were assessed daily. The data of animal behavior were standardized using the standard procedure and then were subjected to multivariate analysis, including the analysis of key factors (PROC FACTOR), cluster analysis (PROC FATSCLUSTER AND PROC CLUSTER), evaluation of variables that determined groups by discriminant analysis and canonical, using SAS 9.2 statistical software. The groups differed mainly on the number of events of swallowing water, shade and competition for number of aggressive interactions, the time spent in complete idleness, loitering foot, staying near the water cooler, respiratory and heart rate, body temperature, number of ruminal movements, panting scores at 15 (GMT-2:00) and 9 (GMT-2:00) hours, heat tolerance. However animal groups did not differ regarding time spent walking head high, walking head down, season, number of events per water drinker and competition in the production data of days in milk, parity order and production of milk. The provision of shade in the paddocks, even under moderate heat stress, altered positively physiological and behavioral attributes. The stress severity, noticed by the change of physiological attributes, changed distinctly social and feeding behavior.

Full textNowadays, the lack of housing has been one of the biggest urban challenges to the Brazilian public policies and should impel the search for technological solutions by the development of housings with low-cost and satisfactory performance. In this context is the constructive system of cast-in-place monolithic panels of concrete. This dissertation presents a proposal for the development of concretes destined to the system having the technical requirements of workability, mechanical resistance and durability, and the influence of the panels peculiarities on the thermal performance of the housings as reference. Herewith, the development of concretes as well as the panels thicknesses definition has been realized, considering the particularities of the eight different Brazilian climate zones, and the constructive typologies used by the Companhia de Desenvolvimento Habitacional e Urbano do Estado de São Paulo (CDHU) and Caixa Econômica Federal (CEF). By means of computational simulations of thermal performance of one-storey (with plane and inclined slabs, and without slab) and multi-storey (last and second floors) constructive typologies, the suitable panels thicknesses (8, 10 and 12 cm) and concretes densities (1600, 1800, 2000, 2200 and 2400 kg/m³) in relation to the climatic characteristics of the analyzed places were determined, having the standard NBR 15575 Residential buildings up to five storied Performace of the Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas as parameter. Starting from the evaluation of the thermal performance of the selected typologies, among concretes and panels thickness analyzed, the use of concretes panels with densities of 2400 kg/m³ and thicknesses of 12 cm has been presented better results for the eight Brazilian climate zones.

Full textThe current Brazilian low-income housing program, named Minha Casa Minha Vida, was created in 2009 by the Brazilian government and despite being numerically significant, it has many significant issues that affect its quality. One important example is the used construction methods that do not take into account the climate or the bioclimatic zones where the houses are located resulting in energy efficiency, environmental and thermal confirm issues. This work is developed in this context and aims to evaluate the objective and subjective thermal performance of the houses built in the Zone 4 with reinforced concrete walls molded in place, which is a widespread construction technique within the studied program. Thermal performance of the dwellings was analyzed in the light of the Brazilian regulation norm NBR15220 and NBR 15575. Surveys based on ASHRAE 55 norm were conducted to evaluate the user\'s thermal comfort perception and in situ measurements were taken at the studied bioclimatic zone. From the data collected, we conclude that the houses do not meet the norm limits and that they are also subjectively uncomfortable, during summer and winter. As means to increase comfort, we note that all houses dwellers modified their houses making it clear that future houses should have more thermal inertia and that, as the program expands, dwellers should be instructed to not make construction changes that might affect their thermal comfort.

Full textThe old population is growing in Brazil according to last data from Demographic Census of Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística - IBGE. Based on this it is important to pay attention to the fact that during the aging process many physical and psychic changes happen which influence the person in the usage of spaces and products. Among these products the bed is extremely necessary during the whole life and its use is part of the daily routine, being high the incidence of falls of old people using this product. And although injuries and falls using beds are not directly related to the old population, during this period they can represent a grave health problem. The objective of this research is to propose project guidelines aiming that beds become safer and more comfortable for the old people. In order to reach this objective and understand the necessities of the old people two specific stages were established: the theoretical base and the field survey. In the theoretical base were raised issues related to eight main subjects: old people, the market of beds and mattresses, safety, comfort, universal design, ergonomics, anthropometry and usability, aiming to raise project guidelines indicated by the authors. The field survey, carried out in a long term stay institution and nineteen homes, totalizing fifty old people, counted with the multiple cases study method through the application of semi-structures interviews to old people and professionals. The application of this method helped the creation of the guidelines, since, besides identifying the difficulties found by the old people using the bed, allowed the identification of the most important elements and the ones which need enhancements in the users’ opinions. The interviews with the professionals which deal daily with old people also helped in this process. Because of this, based on the systematization of the data obtained in the theoretical base and in the field survey, project guidelines are presented aiming the safety and the comfort of the old people, who keep their autonomy preserved using the bed.

Full textEsta pesquisa avalia as potencialidades do uso de simulações do desempenho térmico (SDT) nas etapas iniciais de projetos de habitações de interesse social (HIS) não condicionadas artificialmente. Busca-se promover e simplificar o uso de SDT no processo de projeto da envolvente de edificações através da criação de modelos de regressão baseados em simulações robustas através do software EnergyPlus. Os meta-modelos são adaptados ao clima de três cidades brasileiras: Curitiba, São Paulo e Manaus, e permitem uma rápida verificação do desconforto térmico nas edificações podendo ser usados como ferramentas de suporte às decisões de projeto nas etapas iniciais. A HIS considerada corresponde a uma unidade térrea com aproximadamente 51m2, composta por dois quartos, um banheiro e cozinha integrada à sala de jantar. Esta configuração é baseada em um conjunto de projetos representativos coletados em algumas cidades brasileiras (como São Paulo, Curitiba e Manaus). Estas habitações naturalmente ventiladas são simuladas pelo módulo Airflow Network utilizando o coeficiente médio de pressão fornecido pelo EnergyPlus. As simulações consideram a parametrização da orientação da edificação, transmitância térmica (U), capacidade térmica (Ct) e absortância () das paredes externas e cobertura; Ct e U das paredes internas; relação entre área de janela e área da parede; tipo da janela (basculante ou de correr); existência e dimensão de dispositivos verticais e horizontais de sombreamento. Os meta-modelos desenvolvidos fornecem a predição anual dos graus-hora de desconforto por frio e calor, calculados com base nos limites de conforto definidos pelo método adaptativo para residências naturalmente ventiladas (ANSI ASHRAE, 2013). A metodologia aplicada consiste em: (a) análise de um grupo de projetos de HIS brasileiras e definição de um modelo geométrico que os represente; (b) definição dos parâmetros relevantes ao conforto térmico, assim como seus intervalos de variação; (c) definição dos dados de entrada para as 10.000 simulações paramétricas utilizadas na criação e teste de confiabilidade dos meta-modelos para cada clima analisado; (d) simulação do desempenho térmico por meio do software EnergyPlus; (e) utilização de 60% dos casos simulados para o desenvolvimento dos modelos de regressão; e (f) uso dos 40% dos dados restantes para testar a confiabilidade do modelo. Exceto pelos modelos para predição do desconforto por calor para Curitiba e São Paulo, os demais meta-modelos apresentaram valores de R2 superiores a 0.9, indicando boa adequação das predições de desconforto dos modelos gerados ao desconforto calculado com base no resultado das simulações no EnergyPlus. Um teste de aplicação dos meta-modelos foi realizado, demonstrando seu grande potencial para guiar os projetistas nas decisões tomadas durante as etapas inicias de projeto.
