Abstract

Abstract: Indigenous communities have currently undergone great changes in the architecture, due to the lifestyle and the application of new materials, which has caused the loss of constructive and cultural values. The Shuar Culture is the second largest indigenous group in Ecuador, so This research work focuses on studying the hygrothermal behavior of housing in the Shuar Martín Ujukam community, as well as sociocultural, economic and environmental aspects; where variables that interfere in the hygrothermal performance of both types and comparisons are made through the application of different simulation software such as: Climate Consultant, Andrew Marsh and Design Builder that indicate the appropriate comfort level according to the different variables. Finally, architectural design and use strategies are proposed. according to the environmental conditions given by the software.
