El rol activo del usuario en la búsqueda de confort térmico de viviendas en clima templado árido

Abstract

User behavior is one of the main factors of uncertainty in the thermal performance of a dwelling. This study contributes to identifying variables that would influence the user behavior and, in turn, how these affect the thermal performance of houses located in the city of Mendoza. For this, a thermal audit of a representative dwelling was made in summer and winter, while also recording occupancy and occupant actions. It was concluded that, in summer, correct management of the envelope through night cooling favors reaching indoor comfort in 89% of the recorded data. In winter, the correct use of direct solar gain favors reaching comfort in 60% of the recorded data. Finally, alternatives for building improvements are evaluated for the most unfavorable season.

Thermal bridges in buildings of consolidated contexts in high-altitude cities. Case study: Ambato, Ecuador

“…[9] The second reason is centered on its land use; this plan specifies that the type of residence in the sector corresponds to single-family buildings, avoiding the possibility of generating massive buildings; and, the third reason is its temperate climate, since it is located near the Ambato riverbed and streams, it is configured in a regular plain with an average annual temperature of 15°C, which is stable during the rainy season from May to September and the dry season from October to April. [10] In order to select the sample for analysis within this urban context, a data collection was carried out in terms of materiality and spatial configuration with observation sheets. Based on the macro analysis of the area, we proceed to the selection of the most representative houses with similar characteristics to the rest of the population, in this way the sample allows us to have a complete view of the buildings in this environment, we also request the permission of their owners to carry out an exhaustive analysis of the components of the construction system of the houses.…”

Mejoramiento de la envolvente para el comportamiento térmico de viviendas rurales. Valle del Colca, Perú

“…En la primera fase se caracteriza y analiza el clima del Valle del Colca haciendo uso de datos hidrometeorológicos provistos por el SENAMHI (2018). Se elabora el diagrama psicométrico propuesto por el autor clásico Givoni (1998), el cual permite establecer estrategias de diseño específicas para el lugar de estudio (Amraoui et al, 2021;Andreoni y Ganem, 2021). Posteriormente, se identifican los aspectos tipológicos y morfológicos de la vivienda, así como los patrones socioculturales de los pobladores en base a una revisión documental y visitas de campo.…”

Thermal Comfort and Microclimate in Indoor Spaces of Low-rise Residential Buildings in Dry Tropical Climate

“…According to Andreoni-Trentacoste and Ganem-Karlen (2021), there is a growing demand for the improvement of thermal conditions in residential environments. In recent years, extreme weather conditions in hot climates create an urgent need to adapt low-rise residential buildings (Molar-Orozco, Velázquez-Lozano and Vázquez-Jimánez 2020).…”
