The transformation from a natural environment to a built environment causes the formation of different urban climates, according to urban geometry, materials and activities. The objective of this article is to present a methodology to estimate heat accumulation in urban precincts, according to the influence of ten climatic factors, assessed through values on a scale graduated into five levels: accumulation of negative, null, low, medium and high heat, the latter being able to reach six positive degrees (+6.0°C) in relation to the value verified in the reference meteorological station. The application of this methodology can support comparisons between metropolises and guide interventions aimed at user satisfaction, the efficiency of the built space and environmental sustainability.Downloads
