EES - Energia, Espaço e Sociedade

Think about the built environment is to reveal the systemic aspect of its analysis, deriving from multidisciplinary intercession and converging concepts of environmental comfort, distributed generation and energy efficiency. Environmental comfort is determined by the well-being of the user of the built environment and, regardless of the bioclimatic zone added to climate changes, its study becomes a generalized need, where the conditions of acclimatization of buildings result in an increase in energy demand, requiring adaptation, both to energy efficiency techniques and practices, as well as to new renewable sources of distributed energy generation. Technological and regulatory advances make it possible for the built space to act as a demander and provider of electricity, the new functionality of a consumer, dialoguing with the conception of form and use, individually and collectively, consequently, with the regulatory framework for the use and occupation of space.
