Abstract

There are different points of view and perspectives to analyze the theme of Heritage Conservation, each one of these must stand out as the principal axis, the primacy of the value in which the edification has been recognized as heritage. However, it is considered equally important the adaptation to the conditions of nowadays’ lifestyle, taking as a key point, the improvement of the indoor climate conditions. This topic had been focused superficially when it comes to the application in the patrimonial scope, with a limited number of studies in the Latin-American context, and without any studies in the local context. That is why this study comes to be important, it has as the main goal to demonstrate that it is possible to improve the environmental comfort conditions, without losing the characteristics that are part of the heritage value. To achieve this goal we have organized a work scheme where in first place we make an analysis of the current environmental conditions, both in the exterior and interior spaces, with the use of Data Logger equipment. With these results, we arise different solutions, which are applicable to the study cases according to their heritage value, an its validation through software tools of weather simulations. The obtained results accomplish the principal goal with great improve in the thermal and natural lighting points. Thereby, the importance of the study lays in the fact that it is possible to improve the quality of the indoor environment without losing the present heritage value.
