Abstract
Este estudio expone deficiencias en el confort térmico en vivienda social en Bogotá. Se presume que estas son el resultado de la falta de políticas, investigación y conocimiento sobre el tema. Este problema puede ser generalizado en edificios residenciales y repercutir en problemas de salud y baja satisfacción de los ocupantes, así como aumentos en el consumo de energía y la emisión de CO2. Sin embargo, hay muy poca información disponible. Este artículo contribuye al estudio, evaluación y búsqueda de soluciones a través de un caso de estudio, simulaciones térmicas dinámicas y trabajo de campo. Este enfoque puede ser replicado y adaptado para otros contextos con climas tropicales de montaña. El trabajo de campo se centró en mejorar la masa térmica de la fachada y el rendimiento de las ventanas a través de dos intervenciones. Estas demostraron ser rentables y prácticas con miras a ser implementadas directamente por los ocupantes.
Highlights
Thermal-comfort is an essential requirement of habitable indoor environments and a crucial factor for the post-occupancy evaluation of buildings
In terms of relative humidity percentage (RH%), the minimum outdoor value recorded during the week was 51.29%, while the maximum value was 89.71%
Indoor RH% values for unit A ranged between 65.96% and 68.81%, whereas for unit B it ranged between 71.18% and 75.97%
Summary
Thermal-comfort is an essential requirement of habitable indoor environments and a crucial factor for the post-occupancy evaluation of buildings. Thermal comfort research in many parts of the world is still in its infancy, and there is much work to be done before this paradigm shift is widespread (3). This article discusses a complex thermal comfort problem in the context of social housing in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia. The general aim of this study is to contribute precisely towards the documentation, assessment and treatment of thermal comfort problems in social housing. This is accomplished via a three-phase methodology that analyses the problem within a case study and assesses potential solutions by employing dynamic thermal simulations.
