Rendimiento térmico de un espacio deportivo de la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: The evaluation of already built architectural spaces is essential to improve their operation, increase comfort and provide beneficial solutions for users finals, for whom these spaces have been designed. In this research, a improvement proposal for the Equilibrium gym, which aims to propose alternatives that allow achieving better environmental conditions inside the facility. Furthermore, it seeks to guarantee that these alternatives are sustainable both from the point of ecological and economic point of view, the research is based on in situ measurements of temperature, relative humidity and CO2, simulations in the Eco designer program, interviews and surveys of gym users. The application of the adaptive model, which allows the user to take part in the decision of their thermal sensation, is the basis of this investigation. The results of the investigation determined that there are two specific areas that lack of sufficient ventilation, weight area and calisthenics area, after the respective analysis and In response to the proposed study, alternatives are proposed, such as opening new gaps in ventilation and include standing fans, all of this in order to improve thermal comfort inside the Equilibrium gym.
