Published on
João Pedro Martins, a student in the Master's Program in Architecture and Urbanism (PPG.au), defended his master's thesis on February 26, 2026.
The research aimed to evaluate the contribution of Phase Change Material (PCM) to the thermoenergetic performance of a monitored space in the climate context of Viçosa-MG (ZB 2M – ABNT, 2024). The complete material will soon be available in the Locus Repository – UFV (https://locus.ufv.br/home).
In addition to the advisor, Joyce Carlo, professors Matheus Oliveira (PPG.au – UFV) and Saulo Guths (PPGEC – UFSC) participated in the panel. This work was carried out with the support of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel – Brazil (CAPES) – Financing Code 001. It also received funding from project APQ-02622-23, financed by Fapemig, support from project 406426/2022-8, from CNPq, and from the Ibero-American Program of Science and Technology for Development – CYTED (through the TRAPECIO Network).
