RESUMO

Mahoney’s Tables, which is denominated herein as Traditional Mahoney’s Method, when applied to the cities located in the transitional area between two different climate region, results in contradictory recommendations for the design of dwellings. This contradiction may be observed when we use two groups of climatic data, that are statistically equal, but with small difference between their mean values. In order to obtain more consistent recommendations for the design, the Mahoney’s Tables were remodeled, by Harris, and improved by applying Fuzzy Systems Theory. This work presents validation analysis of the improved method, which is denominated herein as Fuzzy Mahoney’s Method, based on the comparison between intermediated results obtained by Traditional and Fuzzy Mahoney’s Method. Four cities located in different regions of the São Paulo State are used as cases for the study. The comparisons made clear how and where the traditional method fails. It also shows the advantages of using the Fuzzy Mahoney’s Method, which is able to perform a more detailed characterization of climate, mainly, in the transition between summer and winter.
