Clima e projeto: impactos sobre o conforto térmico em HIS do PMCMV

Rapid urban transformations have primarily exposed the most vulnerable to the adverse effects of urban climate and its changes. Simultaneously, Brazilian Social Housing (SH) offered by the Minha Casa, Minha Vida (PMCMV) program and spontaneously upgraded by its residents have favored situations of thermal stress and unsanitary conditions, demonstrating reduced resilience. In this context, the paper presents partial results of a Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) conducted on horizontal SH units of the PMCMV in use located in the city of Uberlândia (MG), Bioclimatic Zone 4, within the scope of a doctoral thesis titled "Resilience and Thermal Comfort in Horizontal Social Housing in Uberlândia (MG): Evaluation for Renovations Guidance". The evaluation aimed at understanding the existence and magnitude of impacts derived from urban climate and its changes on the case study, especially concerning the attribute of thermal comfort. It was found that thermal discomfort is a perceived issue in the case study, with significant discomfort related to heat and cold in both analyzed areas. Furthermore, the existence of illnesses caused by heat and cold in the case study is notable, corroborating the perception that delivered and expanded dwellings facilitate situations of thermal stress and impose high social costs on beneficiaries. The results contribute to the expansion of knowledge regarding the relationships between expansions in horizontal SH and thermal comfort from the user's perspective. They also support the provision of technical assistance aligned with the actual needs and priorities of residents of SH in use, with a focus on enhancing their resilience.
