Avaliação da insolação e distribuição da radiação solar no ambiente urbano de Balneário Camboriú

Abstract

Despite the pressing contemporary environmental demands, the current urban planning of the central areas of most Brazilian cities, make insufficient considerations relating to environmental comfort, especially regarding to land use, spacing and height of the buildings. Therefore, this paper aims to evaluate the insolation and shading generated by buildings in the urban environment of Balneário Camboriú through the use of shading masks and solar radiation analysis on the facades. The methodology: using the software Autodesk Ecotect Analysis, shading masks were generated representing the urban morphology of the downtown city areas, in addition, were simulated incident solar radiation values on the facades in buildings locates in this areas. The main result is that the application of the existing legislation in the central area of the city results in harmful situations to insolation and daylight of buildings and urban spaces.
