Estrategias de diseño pasivas para brindar confort térmico en la capilla de la comunidad Guarangos Chico de la ciudad de Azogues

Abstract

In Ecuador, the construction or remodeling of religious chapels does not have adequate bioclimatic parameters to guarantee the thermal comfort indicated for each of these infrastructures. This research work seeks as a general objective to develop passive design strategies to provide thermal comfort in the chapel of the Guarangos Chico community of the City of Azogues. Among the specific objectives are: Climatic data evaluation and analysis of the constructive system of the building. Parameters of thermal comfort inside the building. And Passive design strategies, formulating two proposals with different constructive system and see their thermal operation through energy simulation. The methodology applied was a referential, descriptive and field study through visits to the religious chapel under study, the simulations were done thanks to Autodesk Ecotect. Among the results we can mention that the planimetric survey of the building allowed performing all the analysis of orientation, form, and function and construction system. In the thermal properties it was observed that there is low thermal insulation. The envelope must go according to the requirements of the building in order to provide good energy efficiency and prevent drastic temperature variations throughout the day. Three proposals were proposed, each of them is modeled in the Autodesk Ecotect Analysis program to verify if they are in the thermal comfort zone.
