Abstract

This study proposed climate zones for buildings in Mozambique using multivariate statistics techniques, the identification of recommended construction strategies for each group, and the analysis of thermal comfort of representative housing units based on thermoenergetic simulations. By applying Principal Component Analysis, the most relevant variables were selected, with emphasis on temperature and vapor pressure. Posteriorly, using Hierarchical Cluster Analysis, three climate zones were defined for the country. For the zones, a high demand for construction strategies was observed, such as daytime ventilation and thermal inertia with solar heating to increase the annual hours of comfort. The simulations of traditional and contemporary housing units showed similar results, but with a higher percentage of hours of comfort for the contemporary housing unit. Thus, this study expands knowledge about the reality of housing units in Mozambique and the construction parameters that influence them.
