| summary |
This article aims to present the development of a tool to analyze sunlight availability for vertical farming in buildings facades. For the elaboration of this support system, a resource-based visual programming language was used, where indicators of solar radiation, Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD) and Daily Light Integral (DLI) make up the inputs and outputs. To validate the developed system, an analysis of a residential area, located in the city of Joao Pessoa - Paraíba, was proposed. After the simulation, it was possible to observe the usability and effectiveness of the tool for analyzing of sunlight availability in urban contexts. Moreover, the achieving results can be used to provide planners with guidelines that encourage the development of public policies and legislative instruments aimed at vertical agriculture in facades. |
