Projeto de Climatização para uma Escola no litoral sul do Rio Grande do Norte Conforme NBR 16.401. 2025. 117 f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Engenharia Mecânica) - Centro de Tecnologia, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2025.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/61497This study presents an air conditioning project for a full-time school located in Canguaretama, on the southern coast of Rio Grande do Norte, in accordance with the criteria established by NBR 16.401. The research highlights the importance of thermal comfort and air quality for the intellectual performance and well-being of students and teachers, particularly in the context of a hot and humid climate. The monograph is based on the premise that inadequate environmental conditions can compromise concentration, learning, and occupant health. The proposal considers essential aspects such as the need for air filtration, oxygen replenishment, and humidity control, which are crucial to accommodate varying levels of respiratory sensitivity. Moreover, the project incorporates sustainable guidelines, including the selection of refrigerants with low environmental impact, aligned with the Montreal Protocol, and the use of efficient equipment to minimize energy consumption and operational costs.The project development involves a detailed thermal load survey, careful selection of equipment, and the design of ductwork and refrigerant lines using digital tools. The study also emphasizes the relevance of technical solutions that foster a healthy environment, contributing to the creation of educational spaces better suited to local climatic demands. The initiative aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, reinforcing a commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency.Conforto térmicoClimatizaçãoCarga térmicaSistemas VRVProjeto de climatização para uma escola no litoral sul do Rio Grande do Norte conforme NBR 16.401Air conditioning project for a school on the south coast of Rio Grande do Norte according to NBR 16.401bachelorThesisCNPQ::ENGENHARIAS
