Estudo de mantas sustentáveis para conforto térmico na construção civil

Abstract

Global warming has been the biggest cause of climate change, resulting in notable fluctuations in temperatures that affect life on a daily basis. The search for thermal comfort, particularly in residential environments, has become a priority. In this context, there is a growing focus on harmony with nature, seeking buildings that not only provide climatic comfort, but also do so in a sustainable way, minimizing environmental impacts. In view of this situation, the present study aimed to carry out a bibliographical review of sustainable blankets manufactured from solid waste. This covered a range of blankets, including those made from materials such as asphalt, Tetra Pak and Longa Vida milk cartons, polypropylene and coconut fiber. The analysis aimed to investigate these blankets in a bibliographical way and highlight the benefits identified in studies and research related to these materials for roof insulation. The methodological procedures used in this study were bibliographic research and documentary research. It was hoped that this review would provide a deeper understanding of the alternatives available to face climate change without causing damage to nature. As a result, the coconut fiber had thermal conductivity very similar to conventional glass wool, the asphalt blanket also demonstrated good results, having excellent thermal resistance. Tetra Pak or Longa Vida milk packaging demonstrated thermal potential, and, finally, blankets produced from recycled polypropylene were efficient in reducing heat losses or gains.
