The dwellings must meet the needs and requirements of the user, and the choice of
materials used directly impacts the thermal comfort, among other factors. In view of the
importance of this theme in the region of Palmas- TO, characterized by the hot climate most of
the year, this work evaluated the thermal performance of two types of tiles: ceramic tile and
concrete tile, through the normative procedure and measurements on-site prototype, according
to the criteria defined in NBR 15.575: 2013 - Performance Standard. The experiment was
carried out through measurements in test cells built according to the recommendations of the
standard, at the Federal University of Tocantins. The data collection was done through
temperature and humidity sensors installed inside the test cells, during the period of 3 days,
during 24 hours a day. The purpose of the research was to verify, on an experimental basis, the
feasibility of using ceramic tiles and concrete tiles in the region referred to the need for greater
thermal comfort. It was concluded that both analyzed tiles did not reach the minimum
performance stipulated in the standard.
