Item Naturally ventilated industrial sheds : an investigation about the influence of wind direction in flow rate efficiency in continuous roof vents.(2021) Camargos, Bruno Henrique Lourenço; Souza, Henor Artur de; Gomes, Adriano Pinto; Ladeira, Artur Hallack; Reis, Reinaldo Antonio dos; Mapa, Lidianne de Paula PintoNatural ventilation portrays an effective technique for lowering the internal temperature, without spending electricity, and directly contributes to the renewal of indoor air by establishing a healthy environment for workers. Given this, it is usual to have air vent openings located at the top of the roof (continuous roof vents), in addition to those present on the facades of sheds. In naturally ventilated buildings, it is recommended to give due importance to the provision of these openings, since depending on the proposed arrangement, the wind may or may not help in the effectiveness of this strategy. In this work, it is evaluated via computer simulation (EnergyPlus, version 8.7.0), for the climatic conditions of the city of Belo Horizonte/Brazil, the influence of the wind direction in the flow rate of indoor air through the ridge vents, of the longitudinal and transversal type, present in industrial sheds endowed with an internal source of high-intensity heat release. The results obtained show that the flow rate has a symmetrical behavior in the openings of the longitudinal continuous roof vent, that is, when an opening is with the maximum outflow of the internal air, the opening opposite the predominant wind direction is acting as an entry point for the air external. The transverse continuous roof vents are more sensitive about the wind direction since they are positioned perpendicular to the building. The best result found is for the wind situation occurring parallel to the shed, obtaining a reduction in the internal temperature of up to 1°C, an increase in the rate of air changes per hour, in the internal environment, at 1acph, and an increase of up to 10,7% in the volume of air infiltrated into the shed.Item Effect of the exposed steel structure on the thermal performance of buildings.(2022) Caetano, Lucas Fonseca; Souza, Henor Artur de; Gomes, Adriano PintoDepending on the building typology, the architectural characteristics and the materials used in a building, its interaction with the local climate can produce negative impacts on the energy consumption of the buildings. The presence of steel in the building structure characterizes a reduction in the thermal resistance of the building envelope, which causes an increase in energy costs for environment heating or cooling. In this context, simulation of the thermal performance of buildings using computer programs has generated several constructive advantages for the establishment of energy-efficient buildings. This paper’s main purpose is to evaluate the influence of the exposed steel structure area on the thermal performance of naturally ventilated and artificially conditioned environments using computational simulations. The results showed that in the numerical simulation of naturally ventilated environments, there were increases of about 3.0% and 2.0% in the environment indoor temperatures during the winter and summer periods, respectively. Considering the winter period, the heat losses through the steel structure were up to 4.1 times larger concerning those made for walls without steel, and the heat gains about 4.2 times higher in the summer period. The effects of thermal bridging were more evident in the evaluation of artificially conditioned environments. There was a maximum increase of 4.8% in the environment total cooling thermal load and, as a consequence, a maximum variation of 4.9% in the building energy consumption, evidencing that the larger the exposed steel area in the building closure system, the larger the effect caused by this thermal bridge.Item Experimental and numerical analysis of a naturally ventilated double-skin façade.(2018) Souza, Leonardo Carvalho Oliveira de; Souza, Henor Artur de; Rodrigues, Eliana FerreiraThis paper investigates the efficiency of a naturally ventilated double-skin façade (DSF) built in a test cell focusing on the airflow and heat convection of the cavity formed by DSF. The study covers measurements of the test cell and their numerical simulation. DSFs have been widely researched worldwide, since they contribute to the thermal performance of the internal environment and to energy savings by eliminating mechanical conditioning systems. For data acquisition, type K surface thermocouples are installed on the wall faces of the test cell and the additional façade, that is, on the inner and outer face of the wall of the test cell and the inner face of the external one. Furthermore, hot wire anemometers are positioned so as to obtain the air velocity in the lower and upper openings of the cavity, which has an air layer thickness of 0.1 m. The results show that the DSF presence contributes to a decrease of the temperature inside the environment because it inhibits the direct solar radiation. Measurement of the faces shows that at 4:00 p.m. the temperature reaches their maximum values. These values are equal to 25.6°C on the inner face of the façade and 23.6°C on the inner face of the test cell, while the outdoor temperature presents values equal to 23.1°C at this time.Item Numerical study of the influence of internal heat source in naturally ventilated offices.(2016) Rocha, Luiz Joaquim Cardoso; Souza, Henor Artur deThe natural ventilation in a building performs a fundamental role in users' welfare and health, when used as a bioclimatic and architectural strategy, it can provide brighter projects. Increasing the indoor air speed ventilation has an important performance main¬taining indoor air quality, contributing to thermal interactions between human body and environment, which can significantly reduce the building’s energy cost. In this study, a numerical research of natural convection in single-sided and cross ventilation is developed using the finite volume method, taking account the internal heat sources influence. The numerical model is used to determine the effects of wind and thermal forces combined by analyzing the stream functions and temperature distribution within an office. The turbu¬lence model is the two differential equations for the low Reynolds number. The building’s internal heat sources influence is analyzed herein. The results show that the single-sided ventilation presents excellent conformity with the results obtained in literature. The influ¬ence of the internal heat source is considered and it has been observed that the best source position is near to the air exit for both single-sided ventilation and cross ventilation.Item Ventilação natural como estratégia para o conforto térmico em edificações.(2012) Souza, Henor Artur de; Rodrigues, Luciano SouzaUma circulação natural de ar adequada dentro de um ambiente construído, além de auxiliar na diminuição do gradiente térmico, contribui para a renovação do ar interno. Este, dependendo do perfil de ocupação do ambiente, pode ser prejudicial à saúde. Uma circulação natural pode se constituir em uma alternativa eficiente na redução do consumo de energia no condicionamento de edificações. Nesse trabalho, estuda-se a ventilação natural, dirigida pela ação combinada das forças do vento e térmicas num ambiente. Avalia-se a eficiência da ventilação unilateral e cruzada, uti¬lizando-se o método numérico de elementos finitos, por meio do software ANSYS. O modelo numérico é utilizado na determinação dos efeitos das forças do vento e das forças térmicas combinadas, obtendo-se o fluxo de ar e a distribuição de temperatura dentro do ambiente. Os resultados obtidos são comparados com resultados de modelos empíricos, observando-se que a eficiência da ventilação cruzada fica em torno de 3,5 vezes maior do que a ventilação unilateral, aumentando os vórtices no fluxo de ar no interior do ambiente.Item Ventilação natural em galpões : o uso de lanternins nas coberturas.(2006) Mazon, Ana Amélia Oliveira; Silvado, Rodolfo Gonçalves Oliveira da; Souza, Henor Artur deA ventilação natural no interior das edificações proporciona condições favoráveis de conforto térmico aos ocupantes, além da melhoria da qualidade do ar interno. A eficiência da ventilação natural numa edificação está associada ao número, posição, tipo e tamanho das aberturas existentes para a passagem de ar e também à ação combinada das forças do vento e das diferenças de temperatura. No caso da construção de galpões industriais e edificações comerciais, é usual construir aberturas nas coberturas (lanternins), além daquelas aberturas nas fachadas, para se obter iluminação natural e também melhorar a ventilação natural. Nesse trabalho, estuda-se a ventilação natural em galpões utilizando lanternins. Apresenta- se uma modelagem matemática, associada com o conceito do índice de ventilação natural, para o cálculo da vazão de ar necessária para uma ventilação natural adequada em edificações e também para o cálculo das áreas das aberturas necessárias para suportar uma dada vazão. Ainda por meio de uma abordagem numérica, analisam- se o fluxo de ar no interior do galpão e o perfil da temperatura interna resultantes da simulação. Os resultados obtidos levaram em consideração o grau de conforto térmico necessário no interior do galpão e comprovam a abertura necessária do lanternim calculada para se alcançarem as condições internas de conforto.
