Avaliação das condições de conforto visual em edificação tombada com novo uso: estudo de caso do Casarão 2, Pelotas/RS

Abstract

Studies on the use of historic buildings for new uses are very relevant today, since it deals with topics such as saving raw materials and the conservation of cultural legacies. The retrofit process can be summarized in restoration actions with insertion of a new use of the building. This study aims to examine whether the luminal comfort conditions are satisfactory in environments of a historical building, which underwent retrofit, with respect to its new use. In order to achieve the objective of the research, were chosen two environments for study, based on 'walkthrough' techniques and file survey. In these environments were carried measurements and questionnaires with users. From the quantitative and qualitative research methods it was possible to achieve and compare the results, found that don't exist the basic visual comfort conditions during most of the day. Thus, one can say that for these environments, the new use didn't meet the visual comfort conditions for users, ie, the process of retrofitting has not achieved its objectives in full. Can also say that the conservation process aimed at preserving the construction in these environments.
