Through numerical simulations based on a defined reference model, the present work studied the influence of different layers of floor, roof and internal and external wall systems, on the acoustic, thermal, and luminous performance of buildings in Brazil. The results showed the materials and elements with the greatest influence on: lighting performance are the internal finishes of the environment and the type of glass used in the external windows. On thermal performance, all elements of the roofing system and fa\u00e7ades, especially an absence of external cladding and the use of thermal blankets on the roof, have greater influence. The acoustic performance of the fa\u00e7ade function on the external windows and acoustic performance of the floor system are mainly influenced by the thickness of the structural element and the use of a ceiling and acoustic blanket; acoustic performance of internal walls is affected by typology of the structured element of the wall and thickness.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/designs4030034","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,9]],"date-time":"2020-09-09T09:01:09Z","timestamp":1599642069000},"page":"34","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Influence of the Coating System on the Acoustic, Thermal and Luminous Performance of Brazilian Buildings"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Pedro F.","family":"Gois","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Civil Engineering Department, Universidade Cat\u00f3lica de Pernambuco, Recife 50050-900, Brazil"}]},{"given":"\u00c2ngelo J.
