Abstract

Abstract: The research presented below aims to show a methodology that, first of all, allows us to identify homes with vernacular characteristics in the parish of Sacapalca, likewise, climatic factors are considered throughout the year to understand its impact on the selected homes and subsequently carry out the analysis of information on the bioclimatic variables that influence the thermal comfort of the themselves. The proposed methodology uses descriptive, analytical and practical approaches, focused on data collection, analysis of vernacular constructions and evaluation of thermal comfort using necessary tools such as: Givoni, Mahoney, simulations in Design Builder and user interviews. Among the most relevant it is highlighted that the loss of vernacular architecture in the parish is attributed to the lack of understanding of bioclimatic functions and construction systems traditional. Additionally, 90% of the constructions examined comply with the minimum standards of thermal comfort, suggesting that as a whole vernacular homes of Sacapalca, located in the province of Loja, are considered comfortable in their state current.
