Abstract
The research attempts an experimental study that contributes to know more about the urban-architectonic influence level on the energy consumption at suburban dwelling houses. Therefore, a procedure comprised of three parts is developed and applied. The first part is a global type and uses available data of gas and electricity consumption. The second is a specific one based on the analysis of consumption as well as thermal and lighting measurements parameters. The third is an analytical one and combines the previous two. Certain conclusions arisen from their application in a case study as well as results feasible of taking place in a generalization are explained. The influence of urban-architectonic factors can be observed in the orientation, shape factor, windows/wall rate, and equipment of the dwelling. Gas, as it is used for heating, is the one that has greater incidence in energy units in the annual consumption, but it levels in costs to electricity due to its low price. Electric consumption increases in summer mainly due to the use of fans.
