RESUMO

Studies in the field of personalized thermal comfort demonstrate the necessity of developing an air distribution system that allows the user to control individually the thermal conditions in their work station. In this context, such an equipment is designed for guiding this study and this process has identified the need of devising a method of product development with academic characteristics to be used in the design and construction of the device in question. To attend this need, a design method was proposed in this work to be applied in the area of technological development of products and / or new products, taking as a case study of the personal comfort device which was developed in parallel by a design office. The proposed method was based on other design methods already established and was adequate to what is proposed considering its positive aspects. The method proposed in this work is open and takes three creative processes, based on research in the areas of aesthetics, materials, ergonomics and human behavior and in scientific research. The method allows the interrelation of design, material technology and engineering to meet the technical prerequisites for functionality, shape, aesthetics, and cost. The method is a model totally developed in the academic area and was validated by case study, when compared to the proposed method used by the office design that developed the device itself. After comparative analysis of both methods it was possible to conclude that the proposed method is suitable to develop a product both in the university, and in the industry. Furthermore, it has a differential with regard to the methods considered: open structure - circular and radial that stimulates interference during the project, making steps are added, removed and / or deployed according to the specific goals of the product in question.
