Currently, a very common action in large cities is closing the residential balconies with operable glass. In the city of Vitoria, ES, it is constant the residents' complaint about the presence of black dust in their residences. The nuisance caused by the presence of this particulate matter is the main motivator of the practice of closing balconies in the region. The aim of the present research was to evaluate the environmental quality and the Vitoria resident’s perception – regarding the thermal comfort and air quality – who lives in apartments with and with no operable glazed balconies. From the setting of criteria and the subsequent choice of a strategically located residential condominium, the methodology used has been established considering two main sources of obtaining data and information: directly from users, through the application of questionnaires; and by field measurements of the air temperature, air relative humidity and concentration of particulate matter. The results show that the daily average concentration of particulates was higher in situation of the operable glazed balcony was closed than in the open condition. In addition, the use of operable glazed balconies, keeping them closed most of the time leads to increased air temperature in the environment and thermal discomfort, which causes some residents have recourse to the use of air conditioner, thus subverting the original purpose of the balcony in hot and humid climates, which is provide shading and natural ventilation to the interior spaces.
