The house plays a fundamental role in people's lives, as it is the place where it is possible to find shelter, not only shelter in the sense of family cosiness, but also shelter in the sense of protection against the weather. In this sense, housing programs in Brazil have been working in the production of housing, to combat the housing deficit and provide decent housing for people. However, these dwellings are questioned for not fulfilling their role in view of the environmental quality provided to their occupants. In view of this, the changes caused by climate change can further worsen the habitability conditions of buildings. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the thermal and energy performance of a standard project of Social Interest Housing (HIS), multifamily used in two cities in the bioclimatic zone 8, to bring contributions to the discussions and proposals for housing improvement. thermally comfortable social environment in the face of climate change
