Propuesta metodológica para el prediseño de viviendas urbanas tipo de alto desempeño térmico, desde una perspectiva energética

Abstract

Abstract: It develops an analysis of the national guidelines that establish the specifications and the minimum techniques features to be taken into account in the design, construction, usage and maintenance of the buildings in the country; It defines the elements of the thermal envelope of a building, as well as; the systems, techniques and sub-techniques of application of insulating material in each one of these elements; It describes: generalities, factors and elements of the climatology, that will help to define: optimum orientation to the building, location of the interior spaces according to their use, and proper design of the openings. Finally, it designs and implements a methodology for the preliminary design of a house located within the campus UTPL-Loja, by analyzing thermal insulation systems, whose results support the application software (Ecotect) which helps us to simulate the thermal behavior of the proposed housing.
