Evaluación de aspectos bioclimáticos para una nueva edificación en el área de segundo orden de la zona urbana de la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: This project aims to design a new building model for the city of Loja integrating passive bioclimatic design strategies, focused on improving hygrothermal comfort. In addition, it seeks to improve habitability conditions in Andean equatorial climates, without the use of mechanical systems. In the development, the importance of knowing the meteorological conditions of the building environment is highlighted, before the conception of new proposals, and in this sense, official meteorological data were obtained from the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology, data that was analyzed through the BAT tool (Bioclimatic Analysis Tool), whose tables and graphs allowed characterizing the study area. Once the particularities of the local climate were understood, a matrix was developed with the ideal strategies, considering a design that allowed the application of some of the strategies of the matrix, in contrast to the conditions of an urban environment and the demands of the owner and the municipality. The proposal was developed under the BIM methodology using tools that allowed simulations of temperature, solar radiation, and wind (Revit, CFD), demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed strategies.
