MATERIALS AND EXPERIMENTS OF CPE UFSM: A CONTRIBUTION TO FUTURE SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTIONS

Abstract

This work aims to present the materials and experiments present in the prototype of the Efficient Popular House of the Federal University of Santa Maria, from the Post-Occupancy Evaluation with emphasis on the period from 2018 to 2022. Built with the goal of being a low-cost residence, the CPE is based on social interest, seeking sustainable solutions and improvements in the built environment. Therefore, the evaluation is presented from the perspective of the students living in the prototype, on the various aspects contained in a POE, such as: the subdivision and functionality of the property, the possible constructive failures, the performance of materials and devices by the use, comfort aspects: thermal, natural and artificial lighting, acoustic and natural ventilation. In addition, the study brings to the light of knowledge the functionality, limitations and potentialities of such experiments and CPE materials, presenting possible sustainable solutions for future projects
