Everyone has to take a greater responsibility in energy issues, both individuals and companies. There have been some major developments in the construction industry but there is still a lot to be done.   This diploma work thesis presents different methods of making existing construction shed establishments to use less energy. What is possible to do and how much energy is there to be saved? A shed establishment consisting of 8 shed units were studied in this project and the building simulation tool VIP-Energy was used to simulate different types of material in the sheds. An infrared camera was used to locate thermal bridges.   There are several factors that can be improved to make a construction shed establishment to use less energy. Replacement of old windows and doors, using more insulation, replacement of old less efficient insulation with new improved materials, using a different heating system, and more. One factor, which is more important than all the others, is to insulate between the 8 different shed units in the establishment. It is also important to make the construction wind proof.   The results show that if you replace the old wall and roof insulation with new better insulation, replace the old windows and doors and seal the gaps between the shed units the total energy reduction would be as high as 60%. All companies working with the handling or utilization of shed establishments at building sites should consider these improvements.

Orientador: Bernardo Mançano Fernandes / Resumo: O trabalho aborda os impactos socioterritoriais dos assentamentos rurais no município de Teodoro Sampaio - SP. Os impactos são decorrentes das ações dos sem-terra, por meio da ocupação de latifúndios, resultando nas conquistas de lotes. Os assentamentos representam num primeiro momento o processo de reorganização territorial por meio da formação de pequenas unidades de produção e, também o processo de fortalecimento da agricultura camponesa com o surgimento de novos postos de trabalho no meio rural. A temática socioterritorial compreende as mudanças provocadas pelos movimentos sociais envolvidos na luta pela terra e se relaciona com dois processos geográficos (espacialização, territorialização) e por isso as ações ocorrem simultaneamente no território e, em diferentes lugares ao mesmo tempo. A área de estudo dos impactos representou 6% dos assentamentos rurais implantados no Estado de São Paulo até o ano de 2002. Os projetos surgiram principalmente após a segunda metade da década de 1990. No período anterior a essa década, as principais atividades econômicas estavam baseadas na monocultura, na pecuária extensiva, na prestação de serviços públicos e privados. A organização dos sem-terra fortalece a agricultura camponesa gerando impactos na escala local e regional, por meio da constituição de novas relações no campo. / Abstract: The work approaches the impacts socioterritoriais of the rural establishments in the municipal district of Teodoro Sampaio - SP. The impacts were resulting of the actions of the landless, through the occupation of large estate results were the conquests of the lots. The establishments represent in a first moment the process of territorial reorganization through the formation of small units of production and, also, the process of the agriculture farmer's with the appearance of new work positions in the rural half. The thematic socioterritorial understands the changes provoked by the social movements involved in the fight by the earth and it is related to two geographical processes (espacialização, territorialização,) and for this the actions happen simultaneously in the territory and, in different places at the same time. The area of study of the impacts represented 6% of the rural establishments implanted in the State of São Paulo until the year of 2002. The projects appeared mainly after the second half of the decade of 1990. In the previous period the that decade the main economical activities were based on the monoculture, in the extensive cattle, in the provide services publics and private. The organization of the landless strengthened the agriculture farmer generating impacts in the local and regional scale, by means the constitution of new relationships in the field. / Mestre
