Since 2001 energy crisis, Brazil searches to rationalize it's energetic usage, one of the objects used to reach this goal is the creation of minimum level of energetic efficiency. This process, first initiated in 2009 with electric appliances, has reached a new status when included buildings in the Programa Brasileiro de Etiquetagem (Brazilian Tagging Program), as can be verified in Regulamento Técnico da Qualidade do Nível de Eficiência Energética de Edifício Comerciais de Serviços Públicos [Technical Norm of Energetic Efficiency Level in Commercial, Services and Public Buildings] (RTQ-C). Although RTQ-C allows the measurement of efficiency levels in buildings, it does not guarantee the higrothermal comfort levels, because it remains silent about this subject, thus maintaining the national tradition of inexistent norms in this area. Begining with the exposed facts, this study objectives were to compare higrothermal comfort levels between ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 55, ISO 7730 and 15251 norms, through a case study using the Biblioteca Central of Universidade Federal de Viçosa-MG, pointing out the differences in those norms. The research was performed in four different stages: in loco measurements of the building in three separate seasons of the year, in order to collect higrothermal conditions in summer, autumn and winter; the pre-modeling tests, which verified the possibility of simplification of the library modeling in order to keep, while in simulation, higrothermal conditions similar to those in the real building; the validation of the model through simulations, which had alterations in parameters of the reference archetype, comparing the exiting data to the ones measured in the place in a way to approach environmental manifestation found in the real building; at last it was defined a level scale of thermal comfort, that made possible the comparison between the different norms. The main results obtained, in this research: a) not occur on the premises considered, the environments in conditions that meet the human needs of comfort and hygrothermal conservation bibliographic b) realization of the possibility of use in Brazil, comfort scale for assessment of proposed buildings, existing in EN 15251, therefore, to be more restrictive would allow the improvement of the quality of buildings in this regard.
