Abstract

The climate in southern Brazil is characterised by mild winters and hot-humid summers which requires the design to be a balance between the often- conflicting summer and winter requirements. So, in order to reduce energy consumption, the adequacy of the architectural standard is the item that requires the lowest investment and provides one of the highest energy savings. In the residential sector in Brazil, air conditioning consumption is still low, but it has been growing significantly along with an increase in purchasing power which emphasizes the importance of encouraging a change in construction practices. The aim of the thesis is to design a residence that combines traditional and contemporary techniques and technologies, along with a smart design, contributing to the provision of acceptable summer and winter thermal comfort. This goal is pursued through the consideration of the advantages that are found in some precedents; passive heating and cooling strategies that respond to the climate and; by controlling the relationships between buildings and outdoor spaces, adding moveable architectural features to ensure a response to the different seasons. In this house design, environmental design approach is found to go far beyond the quantification of energy consumption through the use of different materials or strategies. Environmental design engaging the architecture with the environment and the seasons, rethinking the way that people live combined with passive strategies and the intention of achieving a quality design might be more efficient in the overall environmental design picture. The occupant’s thermal and psychological comforts were placed as the main issues to be addressed and not energy savings, as the latter is a consequence of the two former considerations and as energy savings depend considerably on the occupants’ behaviour, which most of the time, the designer can not predict.
