Previous issue date: 2006-12-08 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / Natural air ventilation is the most import passive strategy to provide thermal comfort in hot and humid climates and a significant low energy strategy. However, the natural ventilated building requires more attention with the architectural design than a conventional building with air conditioning systems, and the results are less reliable. Therefore, this thesis focuses on softwares and methods to predict the natural ventilation performance from the point of view of the architect, with limited resource and knowledge of fluid mechanics. A typical prefabricated building was modelled due to its simplified geometry, low cost and occurrence at the local campus. Firstly, the study emphasized the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, to simulate the air flow outside and inside the building. A series of approaches were developed to make the simulations possible, compromising the results fidelity. Secondly, the results of CFD simulations were used as the input of an energy tool, to simulate the thermal performance under different rates of air renew. Thirdly, the results of temperature were assessed in terms of thermal comfort. Complementary simulations were carried out to detail the analyses. The results show the potentialities of these tools. However the discussions concerning the simplifications of the approaches, the limitations of the tools and the level of knowledge of the average architect are the major contribution of this study / A ventila??o natural se constitui no principal recurso passivo para obten??o do conforto t?rmico em climas quentes e ?midos, al?m de promover a redu??o do consumo energ?tico com condicionamento artificial. Entretanto, existem restri??es ao seu uso por parte dos arquitetos por n?o haver garantias de que ela possa resolver os problemas de conforto t?rmico, quando comparada aos sistemas artificiais. Nesse sentido, decidiu-se investigar formas de prever o comportamento da ventila??o natural atrav?s de ferramentas de simula??o computacional, visando auxiliar a decis?o arquitet?nica. O objeto de estudo ? o edif?cio pr?fabricado tipo galp?o devido ?s suas caracter?sticas geom?tricas e ? freq??ncia de uso na regi?o, especificamente no campus universit?rio central da UFRN. Foi utilizado um programa de din?mica de fluidos (Computational Fluid Dynamics - CFD) e um de simula??o do comportamento t?rmico e energ?tico de edifica??es (energy tool - ET). A pesquisa priorizou a discuss?o dos procedimentos necess?rios para viabilizar as an?lises da ventila??o em galp?es. Durante seu desenvolvimento, ? mostrado como o m?todo teve que ser adequado ? complexidade de sucessivas abordagens, resultando em simplifica??es e incertezas de resultados. Para exemplificar a abordagem s?o apresentados alguns resultados de simula??es. Ao final, as limita??es e potencialidades do m?todo s?o discutidas com base nas caracter?sticas dos c?digos de simula??es utilizados, das condi??es de simula??o e da representatividade dos modelos
