Manual de soluciones constructivas para el confort térmico aplicadas en viviendas de ladrillo, ubicación parroquia la Esperanza, Ibarra

Abstract

The present research work aims to present mainly the levels of thermal comfort inside the different existing houses built with different materials in the parish of La Esperanza, Ibarra city. The research methodology is mixed with a statistical approach through the evaluation of climatic elements and the complementation of secondary information based on the surveys carried out with the owners. Initially, the climate characteristics of the study area of the selected houses were identified; Subsequently, a survey was applied, the three houses were registered and favorable results were obtained for the definition of the internal comfort parameters in the study area. Finally, the information obtained was processed to determine study criteria and, based on the results, provide information about the possible improvements in each house with the respective thermal inputs. In this way, a manual of constructive solutions for thermal comfort is proposed to be applied in new brick homes and as a suggestion of improvements to be applied in existing houses in the parish been studied. Proposing eight constructive solutions, this manual will have the concept of each solution, materials, step-by-step processes, architectural details and isometric drawings of each thermal product that can be applied to the different areas of a house, thus improving thermal comfort with the positive change of temperature. According to the final research, we concluded to propose a model house in which the different solutions already mentioned will be applied regarding the needs to maintain thermal comfort in it.
