Resumo:
The urban heat islands (ICU) are the most evident example of climate changes inadvertently caused by man, having been observed in practically all cities in the world. This thermal pattern suggests the existence of a warmer urban center, since the materials used in urban and suburban areas absorb and retain more heat than the sun than natural materials in less urbanized rural areas. The Brazilian practical experience in mitigating the effects of heat islands has been constantly evolving, with substantial research in the academic area, pointing to the importance of the issue in the Brazilian urban panorama. Most of this scientific production turns to theoretical models, in most cases, punctual. As a result of urban expansion, the importance of urban climate studies is debated and, in this context, they are fundamental for the understanding of ICU in the regional climate, through scales of analysis, integrating the environmental quality of the citizen. When thinking, on a scale closer to daily life, studies on urban microclimates come into play. When correlating to the field of architecture and urbanism, we can understand the urban microclimate as a change in the climate of an area on a small urban scale, being formed according to the influence of the natural environment and the built environment (Duarte, 2015). Evaluating this scenario, this dissertation seeks to evaluate the microclimatic conditions around Barrashopping, more specifically its parking, and propose mitigating measures for the phenomenon of heat islands in its surroundings. In the public space, pedestrians are subject to variations in environmental comfort and discomfort, being constantly influenced by the surrounding urban landscape and the surrounding buildings that are naturally heated and cooled, releasing energy in the surrounding urban environment, in the form of heat.
