New paradigms in bioclimatic design toward climatic change in arid environments

Viviendas sostenibles con redes de bajo consumo para regiones insulares

“…On the other hand, it has been shown that sustainability practices, such as reducing energy consumption [6] or implementing green solutions [8] such as photovoltaic energy, natural ventilation, and wind energy [27] are cost-effective [3], help to improve thermal comfort conditions [3], and contribute to the rational use of water through the reuse of used water [27], thus contributing to the reduction of the water footprint. Additionally, it is evident that interdisciplinary work is required to concretize sustainable housing with low consumption systems [5] to contribute from each field of knowledge to the designs and construction processes that reduce energy consumption [27] and favor energy efficiency [3], minimizing the risks of health problems on the population [7] and offering housing solutions that meet the demands of climate change [7].…”

“…The general design and construction were oriented following the EDGE environmental certification system guidelines, with passive bioclimatic strategies such as double roofing in each room and active strategies such as natural air circulation to respond to climate changes in the sector. The formation of the façade with vertical wooden elements provided shade and allowed for indirect lighting and ventilation, and the transfer of heat from the rooms was controlled with the lightweight structure and wooden sheets [14], favoring the utilization of extreme temperatures and solar radiation in the region [7].…”

“…According to Shrestha y Mulepati [6], the use of air conditioning in buildings has increased by 15% and energy consumption has increased by 2%, in less than a decade [6]. It can be asserted that energy consumption has increased exponentially since the industrial revolution [7].…”

“…In addition, human-induced global warming is presently increasing [7], making housing solutions aligned with this reality a necessity. Therefore, providing a sustainable housing model that allows users to enjoy a quality life, in a decent home, under conditions of climate comfort, with low energy consumption, is relevant worldwide.…”

Suficiencia lumínica de ambientes interiores en escenarios de cambio climático

“…Algunos de ellos se centran en el diseño de edificios que tengan un buen desempeño térmico, pero que a la vez puedan soportar el aumento de la temperatura, lo que conllevaría al mayor consumo de energía (Pajek y Košir, 2021). Otros ven, de manera general, la influencia que tienen en el rendimiento energético de una edificación los efectos del cambio climático y a partir de ello, analizan los posibles mecanismos que pueden llevar a la adaptación o la mitigación de estos efectos (Barea, Victoria, Filippín, Monteoliva y Villalba, 2022;Yassaghi y Hoque, 2019). Existen trabajos que se concentran en establecer qué porcentaje de incertidumbre tienen los modelos que establecen las consecuencias del cambio climático sobre las edificaciones con relación al consumo de energía (Fonseca, Nevat y Peters, 2020), como también aquellos en los que se analiza, en torno al panorama mundial, cómo las condiciones climáticas del exterior de la edificación influyen en los cambios que se producen en temas del confort interior (Congedo, Baglivo, Seyhan y Marchetti, 2021).…”
