Influencia de las alteraciones arquitectónicas en el desempeño higrotérmico de la vivienda tradicional. Caso de estudio Malacatos.

Abstract

Abstract: The traditional housing of Malacatos is a clear example of traditional Andean architecture, important in the culture and identity of the region and as a source of research for future architecture, increasingly closer to sustainability in all areas that it represents. This research work emphasizes the effect that architectural alterations generate in the traditional dwellings of Malacatos, specifically in the hygrothermal behavior as their spaces are altered over time. Using the Archicad program and its energy analysis engine Ecodesigner, the hygrothermal behavior is evaluated in three different stages of the selected case study according to the architectural alterations (added or modified volumes) carried out, in order to make a comparison and check if there is a change in the hygrothermal behavior of the house and if this affects or not the well-being of the human being.
