Abstract

Since the introduction of the buildings that targets the first energy conservation regulations in the 1970s and the increasing emphasis on the field in the late 1990s and early 2000s, a wide range of methodologies have been developed for predicting, analyzing and evaluating the energy performance of buildings. Some of these methodologies have been integrated into national or public evaluation programs of new and existing buildings, while in recent years there has been a rapid growth in the development and application of new methodologies for the evaluation and classification of energy performance. This paper presents the basic methods by which the thermal loads necessary to ensure adequate thermal comfort inside enclosed spaces can be established, taking into account the influence of factors such as the type of construction materials, indoor and outdoor air temperature, number of air changes, providing conditions of physiological comfort, location and structure of buildings. The opportunity to use each method according to the objective pursued is highlighted.
