Projeto do auditório do IFPB campus Guarabira com uso de critérios de conforto ambiental e eficiência energética

Abstract

The expansion of the Federal Network of Vocational and Technological Education, begun in 2008, with the creation of the Federal Institutes, among which the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Paraíba (IFPB), provided a great growth for these institutions. In its third phase, which began in 2012, it planned to build six new campuses in Paraíba, including the Guarabira campus. Initially, only the blocks essential for the operation of the institution were built, due to budget constraints, so even after opening the campus Guarabira does not have several of the buildings planned in its implementation, among them the Auditorium. In addition, the concern with sustainability and energy efficiency has been increasingly present in Federal Public Administration projects, including guidelines on the adoption of sustainable criteria in projects and works, as well as in the elaboration of projects aimed at National Energy Conservation Label (ENCE) class A. The objective of this work was to elaborate the project of an Auditorium for the IFPB campus in Guarabira that would meet the criteria of natural lighting and ventilation, energy efficiency and acoustic performance suitable for its use. In addition, the project sought to meet four premises: create an area of coexistence on the first floor maintaining the relationship of the building with the immediate surroundings; study the location of the building on the ground in order to attenuate the noise and to take advantage of natural lighting and ventilation; to seek a form of edification that maintains a direct relationship with its activity, attend to the acoustic and visual conditions and provide flexibility to the space; and adopt an envelop that responds to acoustic, thermal, lighting and energy issues. For that, a bibliographical research was carried out in the areas of architectural acoustics, bioclimatic architecture, thermal and visual comfort and energy efficiency; previous project studies and legal and project site constraints; acoustic mapping of the terrain, mock-up; simulations of solar geometry, shading, air pressure and illuminance study; as well as calculations for verifying reverberation time, sound insulation of the walls, air ventilation and renewal rate and energy efficiency. Resulting in a project that provides the environmental comfort to the users with efficiency in the use of energy resources, besides being in harmony with the environment and formally meeting the criteria proposed in the research.
