RESUMO: Nos últimos anos, em virtude das preocupações com a eficiência energética das edificações, a adequação da arquitetura ao clima ganhou maior importância. Sendo que, uma das formas de tornar uma construção eficiente energeticamente, é através da utilização de estratégias de condicionamento passivo, destacando-se a ventilação natural para o clima quente e úmido. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho apresenta a simulação computacional de uma edificação unifamiliar, naturalmente ventilada, realizada por meio do plug-in Archsim, para a cidade de Teófilo Otoni – MG, utilizando-se, para tanto, os dados climáticos do TRY (Test Reference Year). As alternativas adotadas nas simulações consistiram em variar a disposição e a área de ventilação das aberturas, verificando a influência destes parâmetros no desempenho térmico da edificação. De acordo com os resultados obtidos na simulação pode-se dizer que a melhor orientação para as aberturas é na direção leste-sul com área de abertura para ventilação natural de 20% da área do piso. Para esta composição a porcentagem de horas de conforto para a edificação é de 57,5% e o desconforto térmico anual é de 42,5% das horas. A principal contribuição deste artigo consiste na análise da utilização da ventilação natural em edificações de pequeno porte e seu impacto no conforto térmico do usuário, apresentando ainda a importância da utilização de simulações computacionais como ferramenta de auxilio no projeto arquitetônico.
 
 ABSTRACT: Concerns related to energy efficiency in buildings in recent years, induced the increase of architectural adaptation to climate. The use of passive conditioning strategies, emphasizing natural ventilation for hot and humid climate is one way to have an energy-efficient construction. In this context, this paper presents a computer simulation of a single family building, naturally ventilated, held by the plug-in Archsim to the city of Teófilo Otoni - MG, using the climate data TRY (Test Reference Year). The alternative adopted in the simulations consisted in varying the layout and area of ventilation openings, checking the influence of these parameters on the thermal performance of the building. According to the results obtained in the simulation, the best orientation for the openings is in the south-east direction with opening area for natural ventilation of 20% of the floor area. For this composition the building comfort hours’ percentage is 57.5% and the annual thermal discomfort is 42.5% of the hours. The main contribution of this paper is the analysis of the use of natural ventilation in small buildings and its impact on the thermal comfort of the user, showing the importance of using computer simulations as an aid tool in architectural design.

Sustainable Futures

The problems of necessity of sustainable and ecological approaches in architectural design of hospitals are raised in the research. The best international experience of designing and operating hospitals designed on the principles of sustainable development is considered. Examples and implementation examples of healthcare institutions integrating energy efficient technologies are analyzed and illustrated: natural ventilation, solar panels, rainwater collection, filtration and reuse of wastewater, greening of the roof and walls, sun protection, aerodynamic volumetric and spatial form. Studying and using the proven experience of the best examples of ecological hospital buildings, recognized and certified at the highest levels of the world institutions for the development of a sustainable future, will allow Ukraine to create the conditions for solving the crisis both in the sphere of health care and in the ecologically preserved environment of the country.

Green architecture can be implemented on the design of a music center building in Medan, Indonesia. The effectiveness of the studying process is related to the environment of the study places created through the implementation of green architecture into a natural, comfortable and tranquil environment both in and outside of the building. With this implementation, an energy-efficient building is designed which supports the development of the city’s green area. To design the building itself, the architectural and non –architectural design stages are carried out by analyzing through various libraries and media as a consideration in solving design problems. The design of this building is related to the orientation of the building itself which utilizes natural lightning, attention to the direction of wind to create natural air circulation, provision of parking spaces and open spaces for convenience and the reuse of water resources which is a green architectural concept that is implemented in urban area’s buildings.
