Determinación de horarios de aberturas en una vivienda de construcción masiva para su corrección térmica interior

Abstract

Currently the choice of massive construction models is the alternative with greater recurrence to acquire a house in warm humid climate in Mexico, however, much of this is not adapted to its climatic environment and causes thermal discomfort in the user because of the internal environment generated as response of the characteristics of its architectural envelope. To correct in a short time the effect of thermal discomfort, the user usually employs mechanized climatizations solutions such as fans or air conditioners. It was proposed the use of schedule for opening hours in the architectural envelope in a warm humid climate, mainly in windows, as a strategy to correct the internal thermal environment, considering its advantages as the immediate application and easy implementation, in contrast to some architectural or physical modification of the envelope. Dry bulb temperature and relative humidity measurements were made in a massive construction model to determine its thermal performance in the hottest month of the year. Subsequently, simulations were made with EnergyPlus to determine suitable opening times to correct the thermal environment by prolonging the hours of interior comfort when compared with the original interior thermal performance of the envelope.
