Avaliação do conforto térmico ambiente obtido em protótipos de galpões avícolas, sob efeito de diferentes materiais e ângulos de inclinação da cobertura.

Abstract

The objective of this work was to compare the effect of different covering materials (asbestos-cement, aluminum, and ceramics) with different inclination angles for the roof: a) angles normally used for each material (22o for ceramics tiles and 11o for the other materials); b) angle considered as ideal for thermal comfort (30o for all materials). A comparison of the types of covering was performed based on the ambient thermal comfort in the summer, for each one of the treatments, evaluated by the Globe Temperature Index (ITGU) and Radiant Thermal Load (CTR). The best results were obtained for ceramics tiles with an inclination angle of 30o.
