Estudio comparativo del desempeño térmico lumínico relacionado a la tipología de cerramiento exterior en la arquitectura habitacional tradicional y contemporánea de Loja

Abstract

Abstract:The city of Loja is characterized by its rainy continental climate, with average annual temperatures that fluctuate slightly around 15°C. Despite that the climate in the city is not very demanding, it is necessary to consider during the process of designing a home that guarantees adequate thermal performance and lighting, thus providing greater comfort to its inhabitants. In this work of research, the thermal-light performance of the housing envelope was evaluated traditional and contemporary in the city of Loja. For this, a methodology was followed based on the selection of representative housing archetypes in Loja, from the traditional and contemporary architecture, survey of cases, detection of the efficiency of the strategies applied to contribute to lighting comfort and finally preparation of a comparison with the results found. It was identified that both both traditional and contemporary homes have low comfort rates thermal-light. Faced with this problem, it has been determined that with Modifications in the openings of the houses can achieve better thermal performance and lighting, prioritizing favorable orientations.
