Resumo: The importance of considering thermal bridges and their impacts on thermal transmittance calculation is an issue that has been discussed in cold season climate regions in Brazil. The presence of vulnerable points on the building envelope may affect thermal performance, besides the implications in the building walls and roofs' compositions, such as the filamentous fungi development. Internationally, it is observed the consideration of this theme in different rules and regulations. This study aims to discuss, through computer simulation, the need for Brazilian performance standards to consider the possibility of filamentous fungi formation in buildings with low and high thermal insulation. The analysis examines the thermo-hygrometric conditions near the building model's reinforced concrete structure where the thermal bridges occur and the surfaces of the vertical masonry enclosures for all facades. The results show a high probability of filamentous fungi growth in thermal bridges when the building is insulated, i.e., with low thermal transmittance. This study also points out that aspects related to the building's occupants, such as the control of natural humidity, can interfere with the indoor air's humidity level and, consequently, favor the formation of filamentous fungi.

A presença de pontos vulneráveis no envelope do edifício pode ter consequências no desempenho térmico, além das implicações nas paredes e coberturas do edifício, como por exemplo a formação de fungos filamentosos. Várias normas e regulamentos tratam da temática. Esse estudo tem por objetivo discutir, por intermédio de simulação computacional, a necessidade das normas Brasileiras de desempenho considerarem a possibilidade de formação de fungos filamentosos nas edificações com baixo e elevado isolamento térmico. Na análise examina-se as condições termo-higrométricas próximas a estrutura de concreto armado do modelo da edificação onde ocorrem as pontes térmicas, e as superfícies dos fechamentos vertical, de alvenaria, para todas as fachadas. Os resultados mostram que existe uma elevada probabilidade de crescimento dos fungos filamentosos nas pontes térmicas quando o edifício é mais isolado, ou seja, apresenta baixa transmitância térmica.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2020-12-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/parc/article/view/865606210.20396/parc.v11i0.8656062PARC Pesquisa em Arquitetura e Construção; Vol. 11 (2020): Continuous publication; e020027PARC Pesquisa em Arquitetura e Construção; Vol. 11 (2020): Publicação contínua; e020027PARC Pesquisa em Arquitetura e Construção; v. 11 (2020): Publicação contínua; e0200271980-6809reponame:PARC (Campinas)instname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPenghttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/parc/article/view/8656062/25693South region of Brazil; ComtemporaryRegião Sul do Brasil; ContemporâneoCopyright (c) 2020 PARC Pesquisa em Arquitetura e Construçãohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFreitas, Julye Ramalho deLeitzke, Rodrigo KariniCunha, Eduardo Grala da2021-01-29T11:46:58Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8656062Revistahttp://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/parcPUBhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/parc/oai||parc@fec.unicamp.br1980-68091980-6809opendoar:2021-01-29T11:46:58PARC (Campinas) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false
