Abstract

 Economic stability has been reshaping the Brazilian market. Over the past 15 years, 40 million new consumers have entered this market, and it is predicted that within the next two years another 10 million people will become a part of it [1] . The rise observed in incomes results in the search for a better quality of life, which in turn leads to increased consumer spending. The evolution of average residential consumption reflects the incorporation by residential consumers of a significant volume of electrical appliances observed since the beginning of the Plano Real. The residential consumption of electrical energy has grown at a rate of 11% a year, whereas the GDP 1 has grown 4% in the same period [1] . Added to the difficulties experienced by the electrical supply system in catering to this demand, this growth can lead to undesirable situations such as blackouts and energy rationing.

The question of the climatic adequacy of buildings in general is, therefore, seen as one of the ways of bringing about a reduction in the national consumption of electricity, ensuring on the one side comfort to users and, on the other, a reduction in expenses, besides benefiting the electrical sector.
