In addition to these concepts, it also provides a description of the climate of Florianópolis and the most suitable bioclimatic strategies, as well as a characterization of the legislative framework regarding environmental comfort issues in the built environment.
In the second part of the study, the results of field research conducted through questionnaires are presented, involving professionals working in the market (architects), university professors in the field of design, and architecture students.
