The main goal of this research is to analyze the cost benefit of the construction systems of roofs available on the market, taking into consideration the energy efficiency of the commercial buildings artificially air conditioned in order to be used by the projectors and to be adequated to the temperatures condition of the city of Natal/RN. The method of valuation of the cost benefit of roof systems consists in six steps: Features and simulation of the reference building; Analyze of sensitivity; Analyzes, features and simulation of alternatives of roof construction systems; Analyze of the cost of implementation; Analyze of the benefits of the alternatives comparing to the base case; And finally the analyze of the cost benefit. The model type chosen as reference was stores with pre molded buildings and system of roof with fiber ciment and ceiling . The thermal results showed the influence of the roof system on the energy efficiency of the building. The Final results of the simulations of the alternatives comes to a conclusion that the absortance is the variable that presents the best cost benefit relation and the reduction on the thermal transmittance still has limitations because of the high cost / Esta pesquisa aborda a influ?ncia de diversos tipos de sistemas construtivos de cobertas no desempenho energ?tico e na rela??o custo-benef?cio de edifica??es do tipo comercial para as condi??es clim?ticas da cidade do Natal/RN. O objetivo geral da pesquisa ? analisar a rela??o custo-beneficio de sistemas construtivos de cobertas dispon?veis no mercado, levando-se em considera??o o desempenho energ?tico de edifica??es comerciais climatizadas artificialmente, visando o seu uso por projetistas e que seja adequado ?s condi??es clim?ticas da cidade de Natal/RN. O m?todo de avalia??o do custo-benef?cio de sistemas de coberta consiste de seis etapas: caracteriza??o e simula??o da edifica??o de refer?ncia; an?lise de sensitividade; levantamento, caracteriza??o e simula??o de alternativas de sistemas construtivos de cobertas; quantifica??o dos custos de implanta??o; quantifica??o dos benef?cios das alternativas em rela??o ao caso base; e an?lise das rela??es de custo-benef?cio. O modelo escolhido como refer?ncia corresponde a lojas com sistema de galp?o pr?-moldado, e sistema de coberta com fibrocimento e forro. Seu comportamento t?rmico demonstrou a influ?ncia do sistema de coberta no desempenho energ?tico da edifica??o. Os resultados das simula??es das alternativas demonstraram que a absort?ncia ? a vari?vel que apresenta a melhor rela??o custo-benef?cio, enquanto que a redu??o da transmit?ncia t?rmica ainda apresenta limita??es devido ao custo
