The design of a climate-adapted architecture that takes into account low energy consumption reinforces the commitment to sustainability and contributes to mitigating economic, environmental and social impacts. Besides their iconic value, modernist homes are also known for their environmental concern since their design included elements to respond to local climate and the site’s natural conditions. Sixty-five years after the onset of these constructions, challenges related to their preservation gained international attention. The natural aging, physical mischaracterizations, and impacts posed by changes in the neighborhood related to the increasing urbanization processes, might have compromised indoor thermal comfort and building performance, making them outdated and unsuitable to the current environmental needs. This work aims to develop a method to evaluate the thermal comfort in a modernist home and its adequacy to contemporary levels of expectation, and to present alternatives to improve this performance. The method consists of measurements, simulations of thermal comfort under three different conditions (original, current, and with proposed modifications) of a modernist residential home (1964) located in Curitiba, utilizing the OpenStudio software. The three scenarios were analyzed in the winter and summer solstices, and the PMV/PPD values for thermal comfort were calculated based on ASHRAE 55 (2017). The simulations indicated that the proposed modifications would interfere most significantly in indoor thermal conditions during the summer, and that, as a result of the urban growth process, the neighborhood constructions were responsible for uncomfortable temperatures in the building, especially during winter.
