“…The thermal transmittance, U (W/m 2 K), of the different elements of the house envelope is as follows: for the Base Case, the walls have a U-value of 2,75 W/m 2 K; the roof has a U-value of 1,35 W/m 2 K; the ground floor U-value is 2,80 W/m 2 K, and the U-value of the windows is 5,80 W/m 2 K. For Case A, these U-values are modified in the walls (0,91 W/m 2 K) by adding a 0,025 m XPS plate (extruded polystyrene); and on windows (3,08 W/m 2 K) by changing the 4mm single clear glass to a 6mm double clear glass + 6mm air gap. We decided not to insulate the ground floor since its effect is counterproductive in non-conditioned buildings in a hot desert climate [22]. In Case "B", we used a system of gray color metal louvers, overhangs, and side fins to provide solar protection on the windows.…”

“…In the American continent, cities such as Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas in the US (Ewing & Hamidi, 2014) and Hermosillo, Mexicali or Ciudad Juarez in Mexico, follow this growth pattern (López-Ordóñez, Crespo, Roset, & Coch, 2019), and it is in this framework that the study on how to densify takes big importance due to its relation with the quality of the urban life and housing.…”
