SUMMARY:

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 warmth 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 houses are questioned for not fulfilling their role due to the lack of
environmental quality provided to their occupants. Therefore, changes caused by climate
change can further worsen the habitability conditions of buildings. Therefore, this study aims
to evaluate the thermal performance of a standard multifamily Housing of Social Interest (HIS)
project, in a cast-in-place concrete wall, used in the city of Caruaru/PE for the current climate
and scenarios of weather changes. For this, the computational procedure of the new version of
NBR 15.575:2021 was used, using the EnergyPlus tool to carry out the simulations and the
CCWorldWeatherGen tool to prepare the climate files of future scenarios. The building
referring to the object of study is a standard building of typology "H" that is replicated
throughout the country. It constituted the real model and following the guidelines of the
performance standard, the reference model was elaborated so that it was possible to perform
the calculations of the criteria established by the standard. The results showed that the building
reaches the minimum thermal performance level required by the standard for the three
scenarios. However, in a more detailed analysis, it is noticed that even after meeting the
minimum level, the values of the percentage of hours within the operating temperature range
are significantly reduced, showing that the building is not within the comfort limit of the
standard. Finally, it was verified that the reference model does not have adequate characteristics
to serve as a comparison with the real model, as well as the criterion used to establish the
minimum performance that appears to be permissive regarding its approach, making the
buildings meet the performance minimum, even with low PHFT values.
