Brazil, to remain competitive in agribusiness, the challenge is to continue production with low cost technologies in facilities with favorable environment conditions. In general, coverage due to represent much of the building, is the factor that has great influence on the environmental conditions for livestock. The efficiency is associated with the type of tiles material they are made, characterized by isolation, damping and thermal delay and associated with the superficial nature, characterized by radiant absorptivity and emissivity. Using the theory of similarity for the definition of 1:12 scale models, and thermal environmental indices, the objective of this research was to evaluate the conditions inside poultry or cattle sheds made with five types of alternative material roofs, namely: Tetra Pak, toothpaste tubes, Onduline with vegetable fiber and bitumen, Reciplac aluminized on the top and white on the bottom, Reciplac aluminized on the top and neutral on the bottom, compared with the tiling of clay, with and without the presence of an insulating undercoverage, under hot conditions. Considering the Black Globe Temperature and Humidity Index, the Radiant Thermal Load and Thermal Effectiveness enabled by coverage, in the birds and cattle level, it was found that in general there was similarity between the results, but with differences was amplified when the curtains were closed, and that during hot days, the best conditions were associated with coverage of clay. The worst results were associated with the coverage Onduline - vegetable fiber and asphalt - with and without under-coverage, Tetra Pak coverage - no under-coverage, Reciplac aluminized on the upper side and white on the bottom - with and without undercoverage, and Reciplac aluminized above and neutral below - with undercoverage. The use of an insulating undercoverage was unable to promote improvement in environmental thermal conditions, unless associated with the tiles of worse performance. It was estimated reduction in the initial cost of the roof, in comparison to the coverage of clay, at 47, 7% for Reciplac aluminized coated on the upper side and white on bottom, 45, 5% for Reciplac aluminized on the upper face and neutral at the bottom and 41, 2% for the roof made of Tetra Pak tiles.
