Abstract:Environmental sustainability in civil construction requires energy efficiency and the preservation of natural resources. The thermal performance of buildings is essential to meet these requirements, and the new revision of the NBR 15575 standard establishes criteria for its evaluation. The exploratory research evaluated the development and thermal performance of Block DT 39 by calculating the thermal transmittance and the thermal capacity of the building envelope and the unit's compression tests. The EnergyPlu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
