RESUMO:

Thermal comfort is considered as a human requirement in the architecture field, once it is part in a set of necessary aspects that provides well-being to the users inside buildings. In educational buildings the concerning with the thermal comfort is even more emphasized, because the users participate in long term activities that requires mental effort for learning. Facing this conjecture, the empirical observation about educational buildings in Brazil’s northeastern semiarid region arises the attention of research about the inner spaces that may deliver thermal discomfort to the users, once the semiarid climate presents: low rainfall indexes, high insolation levels, elevated maximum temperatures annually and low relative humidity of the air. Such hostile climatic features demand special care on the architectural production in order to create spaces of protection to the inhabitants. Thus, the goal in this research is to evaluate the conditions in thermal comfort and thermal performance in high school’s educational spaces inside a semiarid representative region: the municipality of Caicó, Rio Grande do Norte state. The evaluation of thermal comfort was developed in two public schools in the city: CEJA and EECCAM, and it was based in previous studies as the theoretical and methodological support, having the dynamic approach from the adaptive comfort as the guide to assess the classrooms and process the collected data. The methodological procedures comprise environmental and human data, focusing the correlation between the thermal behavior of the classrooms and the comfort sensations form the users. Within the main results: the CEJA’s school presents better performance in the correlation between the comfort zone and the thermal sensations votes. While the EECCAM’s school presents larger time of operative temperatures in situations of thermal discomfort and differentiations between the comfort zone and the users’ votes, and this can feature a lower thermal performance of the built environment. The percentages of hours in comfort can ratify these considerations. The large collection of environmental and subjective data enabled the formulation of “thermal comfort indicatives”. The defined comfort range from the correlation between environmental data and the user’s votes shows a strong concordance in numerical values from Standard 55 (ASHRAE,2017).
