Confort lumínico y sistemas de iluminación, aplicados al rediseño de los edificios 5 y 6 de la Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, en base a criterios de ahorro energético.

Abstract

The pedagogical buildings are a clear example of the excessive use of electric energy during the day, since to develop functions within them you need adequate levels of lighting because of it depends on the performance and learning of the Student. Therefore, the present research was selected to the buildings 5 and 6 of the campus UTPL belonging to the areas of architecture, art and design, English and informatics (areas that demand optimal levels of illumination) which were analyzed to determine the factors that cause the deficit of lighting comfort and unnecessary consumption of electrical energy within the classrooms. Subsequently, strategies were established applying bioclimatic architecture guidelines focused on passive lighting systems and a proposal was designed that generates lighting comfort within the classrooms and reduces electrical consumption, decreasing the Environmental impact of the unnecessary use of electric energy during the day.
