Winemaking facilities require specific interior hygrothermal conditions for wine production and aging, often necessitating the use of electromechanical cooling and humidification systems that increase energy consumption costs. This study aimed to assess the potential application of bioclimatic strategies in artisanal wine cellars within the Guadalupe Valley, Baja California, Mexico, using a quantitative theoretical method. Psychrometric charts incorporating estimated and measured meteorological data from the study area were employed to analyze bioclimatic strategies for two key areas of a wine cellar: (1) Production and (2) Aging. Our findings highlight that integrating high thermal mass and shading techniques represents an effective strategy for wine cellar design, offering reduced reliance on active systems and promoting substantial energy savings. This research underscores the viability and benefits of bioclimatic design approaches in enhancing the sustainability and efficiency of wine cellar operations, particularly in regions with specific climatic challenges. like the Guadalupe Valley.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
