The problem of the housing deficit in the country and the need to build emergency housing of provisional character generate numerous consequences, both for the territory with the lack of urban infrastructure and the residents, related to health and comfort due to inadequate construction conditions. The objective of this work was to find technical design solutions for the structure of a real wooden emergency housing, internally covered with Tetra Pak® packages, to minimize the thermal discomfort of low temperatures in southern Brazil. For this, the optimization processes of the NSGA-II evolutionary algorithm and the Pareto analysis were used to implement simple constructive solutions. The house's initial thermal performance data performed by simplified computational simulation showed a low percentage of hours of comfort, reaching about 22% to 80% acceptability of individuals, according to ASHRAE 55 (2017). With the implementation of passive design and material strategies for building performance optimization, it was possible to achieve thermal comfort percentages of up to 58,88% for the acceptability of 80% of the population. This work serves as a basis for future research on precarious housing and the use of carton packs as thermal insulation, and the search for improvement in residents' quality of life.
