Análise do Desempenho Térmico de uma Agência Bancária pelo Método Simplificado: Estudo de Caso

Abstract

The study evaluated the energy efficiency and thermal performance of a bank branch in Campo Grande-MS using the simplified INI-C method under the PBE Edifica framework. The analysis focused on the building wrap and lighting systems, considering thermal transmittance, thermal capacity, and solar absorptance. Project assessments, annual thermal load calculations, and lighting power density evaluations were conducted. The wrap achieved a 42.86% reduction in thermal load, earning an A rating. The lighting system was evaluated through two methods: Whole Building, which received a B rating, and Building Activities, which achieved an A rating. The findings highlighted the effectiveness of passive strategies, such as advanced thermal materials and solar radiation control, in enhancing energy performance. The study emphasized the importance of energy labeling and planning during the design phase to reduce energy consumption and support sustainable buildings. Future research should explore integrating renewable energy sources and smart technologies for further energy optimization.
