Abstract(s)
Sustainability and efficiency are concepts that have been spreading
in civil construction. Among all building types, residential buildings have great
potential for energy savings. It is where building strategies need to be carefully
planned, as they seek to meet the needs of residents, and also provide security
and comfort. Well-designed houses will also provide resource saving over time,
as they add climate analysis, design strategy studies and appropriate materials
to their design. In order to verify a Light Steel Frame house behavior regarding
energy consumption for heating and cooling, this paper aims to evaluate walls
and roofs with layer different thickness of rock wool and expanded polystyrene as
insulation materials. The applied methodology to obtain energy efficiency will be
through analysis in the software Design Builder®. The constructions in Portugal
are mainly made of masonry and the search for alternative construction solutions
aimed at complying with Directive (EU) 2018/844 is relevant. A drastic change in
collective thinking will be necessary. This article aims to show as result the energy
efficiency of Light Steel Framing construction solutions, presenting the materials
which have the greatest benefits regarding energy consumption.
