Description
The paper presents a methodology of evaluation of buildings’ solar passive performance. This
methodology was developed in agreement with quality levels for thermal parameters which were chosen
according to the construction’s solar passive behaviour and the regulamentary concepts. A comparative study
was organised in the context of a recently finished master’s dissertation between the legal frames of three
European countries, giving special emphasis to the Portuguese case. The results of this study allowed the
conclusion that it has become essential to combine minimum regulation values to methodologies that grant an
evaluation and qualification of a building in terms of its thermal performance
