Avaliação de desempenho termoacústico de placas mistas de argamassa e EPS utilizadas em painéis de vedação

Abstract

Thermal and acoustic comfort are fundamental conditions that must be considered when addressing quality of life in buildings, as they directly influence users’ well-being. Among the various materials used in construction systems, partition wall panels composed of two micro concrete plates filled with expanded polystyrene (EPS) have emerged as an alternative that may offer improved performance for masonry enclosures. This study presents a comparative analysis of the thermal and acoustic performance of masonry panels made with ceramic blocks and micro concrete–EPS panels. Experimental tests were carried out to evaluate the thermoacoustic performance of these panels and provide a qualitative assessment of their behavior. The results indicated similar thermal and acoustic performance for both systems, with a slight advantage for the composite micro concrete–EPS panels in the analyzed building.
