Diseño de proyecto de vivienda confortable basado en criterios bioclimáticos para la ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract

Do people feel good inside their homes? This is a question that architects and builders do not ask themselves when proposing a building design. They usually pay more attention to the formality and functionality of the project rather than to bioclimatic criteria. When conducting perception surveys at some homes, the results indicate that there is no comfort inside them. The proposed project aims to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants through passive bioclimatic strategies. Starting with monitoring equipment in order to measure different aspects involved in the comfort, physical measurements in PC programs (form and function) and materials records of seven housing projects, a new design of bioclimatic housing in the city of Cuenca that meets ranges established by national and international standards is proposed.
