Sombreamento e insolejamento da borda marítima da cidade de Salvador - Bahia.

Abstract

The shading in the sand strip of the beaches was explicitly considered in the elaboration of the newly sanctioned Land Use and Occupancy Law (LOUOS, Municipal Law 9,148 / 2016), regarding the liberation of constructions of up to 25 floors in the maritime border area from Salvador. According to current legislation, beaches should be shaded for most of the day, considering the different times of the year. The aim of this article is to determine if the new construction parameters for the maritime border area can cause or not the shadowing of the beaches in the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. As a study area, the districts of Amaralina and Armação were chosen, where a volumetric study of a building with 36 meters of height was implemented in the first block of the beach, with a distance of 60 meters from the sand strip. With the use of the Scketchup software, it was possible to simulate and project the shadows produced by the buildings on certain days and times, according to the criteria transcribed in said Law.
