Considering the global scenario of scarce natural resources, creating solutions for more responsible energy consumption becomes essential. The architectural design appropriate to the climate minimizes the energy consumption during use of the building. Aiming at reducing the energy consumption of buildings were developed performance standards and energy efficiency in various countries. In this context, this study aims at evaluating the thermal performance of a public building in the city of Cuiabá, MT. To this end, measurements were made on the spot assessment of thermal comfort by the method of Fanger, evaluation of the envelope by RTQ-C. The building had a good thermal performance in their evaluations, staying in the comfort zone during all business hours. It is hoped that with this work, Regulation and its application can be broadcast in the city of Cuiabá, demonstrating its effectiveness and contributing to improved energy efficiency of local buildings, especially for public buildings.
