Thermal Performance Evaluation of the Emergency Antarctic Modules

The Emergency Antarctic Modules have been serving to the continuity of Brazilian researchers since 2013, after the fire that destroyed the main part of the Comandante Ferraz Antarctic Station. The occupation in the place follows the precepts (it's not clear what you mean by precepts) of the Antarctic Treaty and its Protocol on Environmental Protection.

By For this reason, the use of fossil fuels for heating must be minimized at the same time it is necessary to guarantee the well-being of the its users.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the performance of the building, regarding to its capability to maintain the a stable internal temperature stable. The procedures consisted in of:

1) collecting data, choosing the places for internal measurement and installation of equipment;

2) identification of the “coldest” or winter period and the “hottest” or summer period, according to climate data and reference methodology;

3) verification of the correlation between the externally and the internally measured temperatures, through scatterplots;

4) evaluation of the stability of the internal temperature, through control charts. The results showed no correlation between the internal and the external temperatures, which denoted a good insulation of the envelope (an envelope is a piece of paper used to send letters in, it's not clear what you want to say here. Consider forming a new sentence after this.) and/or that the heating system is capable to of compensating for the differences of in temperature.

The refectory presented many points out of control (do you mean that there was a lot of variation in the scatterplot?), for the entire period of measurements and in the summer period. The cabin C3 also presented instability, especially in the winter period. The cabin B2 had uncontrolled temperatures at 0.10 m height, only, in the winter period. In contrast, in the infirmary (this is not a commonly used word in modern day English, consider using hospital or sick bay), the temperature remained stable.
