Influencia del tipo de cobertura en el comportamiento térmico exterior del parque Los Molinos en la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: This research project focuses on analyzing the thermal behavior of Los Molinos Park, located in the city of Loja, and the influence of existing coverings on the thermal comfort of space. Its main objective is to propose strategies to optimize thermal comfort conditions in the study area. To this end, climate data is collected, user surveys are conducted, and microclimate simulations are developed using ENVI-met software to identify how the park's materials and configurations influence the temperature and environmental conditions of the site. The importance of this study lies in the generation of a technical basis that serves as support for the proposal of efficient strategies in the design of outdoor public spaces, such as the implementation of permeable materials or materials with a low albedo index, as well as the use of appropriate vegetation that contributes to improving the thermal comfort of the park, promoting the proper use of the space and the well-being of users.
