Criterios bioclimáticos aplicados a los cerramientos verticales y horizontales para la vivienda en Cuenca
(2015) Narváez Soto, Juan Pablo; Quezada Vanegas, Karen Cristina; Villavicencio Quizhpi, Ruth Priscila; Saltos Carvallo, Héctor Javier
This research has 4 chapters, the first one is about the theory framework also bioclimatic architecture, with concepts and criteria of warming comfort and luminosity, also analyses the weather conditions of Ecuador and the weather conditions of Cuenca city. The second chapter is about the verticals, horizontal fences focusing the study of the building with traditional materials, also explains the living program from we got information and the there are photos of the houses that are around Cuenca. In order to observe the materials use there. In chapter 3rd there is a study about the warming an luminosity comfort, where we present a data collecting about the temperature humidity, and luminosity levels and wind speed in the selected houses. The last chapters about the criteria of bioclimatic throughout the analysis and diagnosis on a selected house, where the mass volume floor roof materials and walls were analyzed , in the data we analyzed cover facts and information for improving the environmental comfort for houses in Cuenca. At the end of this research the results are applied to Pastoral Social en la Arquidiócesis of Cuenca because the analyze house were built by it.
Evaluación térmica de cerramiento vertical para mejorar el confort de una vivienda de interés social en clima de alta montaña - caso de estudio Cajas
(2019-04-04) Quezada Vanegas, Karen Cristina; Sánchez Castillo, José Hernán
The aim of this research is to identify the optimal combination of materials with low environmental impact for vertical fencing of social housing on high mountain weather by applying the ecological evaluation methodology developed by Luis de Garrido well as thermal evaluation generated through simulations. The methodology used has an experimental and longitudinal design approach that use quantitative data for evaluating the inhabitants’ comfort measurements. As a starting point, those materials which are used the most were selected among the vernacular housing located in a high mountain area of the Azuay province, in Ecuador, and also among the projects of social interest in the region, and among industrialized building techniques for social interest housing in cold weather conditions. Subsequently, the ecological level of each material is obtained through the ecological evaluation methodology. Afterwards information on the thermal characteristics of these materials was obtained by calculating the thermal transmittance of the proposed materials for the vertical fence; these analyses were performed in the “Laboratory of Thermal Testing in construction Materials and Elements”. Finally, the best results of the calculation were evaluated in the Design Builder energy simulation program in order to assess the behavior of the house’s indoor temperature. The study concludes with the proposal of vertical fencing with low environmental impact and high energy efficiency for a prototype of social interest housing built by the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing (MIDUVI) in high mountain climate.
