Zusammenfassung: | The climatic availabilities for human thermal comfort in Santa Maria, RS -Brazil, were determined. The daily data of minimum and maximum air temperatures, and air and wet bulb temperatures at the standard local time (9h, 15h and 21h), were collected from 1969 to 2011 and were measured in a non aspirated psychrometer at the Meteorological Station located in Santa Maria--RS (29°42'S; 53°42'W; 95m). The index of daily Effective Temperatures was calculated using the method of THOM (1959). In average, the discomfort by the low temperatures occurs during the morning (9h) in the seven coldest month of the year, at night (21h) in the six coldest month of the year, and in the afternoon (15h) in four of the coldest months of the year, and, for high temperatures, in the afternoon (15h) in January. However, the standard deviation of the index varies from 4.1 to 1.8, indicating the occurrence of days or hours with discrepancy values from that of the average, mainly in the coldest months of the year, when the variability is greater. Key words: index of effective, temperature, discomfort. Foram determinadas as disponibilidades climaticas de conforto termico para os humanos em SantaMaria, estado do Rio Grande do Sul--Brasil (29°42'S; 53°42'W; 95m). Utilizaram-se os dados diarios da temperatura do ar das 9h, 15h e 21h, medidos nos termometros de bulbo seco e de bulbo umido, de um psicrometro comum e das temperaturas maximas e minimas diarias, periodo 1969-2011. Calcularam-se os valores do indice de Temperaturas Efetivas (TE) diarios utilizando o metodo de THOM (1959). Em termos medios, as condicoes de desconforto por temperaturas baixas ocorreram pela manha (9h), nos sete meses mais frios do ano, a noite (21h), nos seis meses mais frios do ano, a tarde (15h), nos quatro meses mais frios do ano e, por temperaturas elevadas, a tarde (15h), no mes de janeiro. Entretanto, o desvio padrao dos valores medios do indice TE variou de 1,8 a 4,1, evidenciando a elevada ocorrencia de dias ou de horas do dia, com valores discordantes daqueles da media, principalmente nos meses mais frios do ano, quando a variabilidade e maior. Palavras-chave: ambiente natural, indice de temperatura efetiva, desconforto. |
