Abstract

TOALA-ZAMBRANO, Luiggy Andrés; VANGA-ARVELO, María Giuseppina; MUNOZ-MOLINA, José Gregorio  and  ZAMBRANO-QUIROZ, Folke Nevaldo. Thermal Comfort in Residential Complexes as life Quality Enhancers. Rev. Lasallista Investig. [online]. 2021, vol.18, n.1, pp.34-47.  Epub Mar 09, 2022. ISSN 1794-4449.  https://doi.org/10.22507/rli.v18n1a3.

Introduction.

This article presents the final results of the research Analysis of the thermal comfort of residential complexes carried out in the city of Portoviejo, Ecuador.

Objective.

Analyze the perception of thermal comfort of the housing units of the Fuentes del Río housing complex in the city of Portoviejo and recognize the elements that favor or not the climatic quality of the interior of their spaces, through research techniques and technological tools, demonstrating the value of orienting the buildings of a residential nature according to the climatic conditions that influence them.

Materials and methods.

A bibliographic and field research is presented, supported by the diagnosis of the architectural complex under study.

Results.

Once the valuations were obtained, we proceeded by means of design strategies to devise elements that mitigate the climatic incidences inside homes, in addition to preparing a list of bioclimatic parameters that contribute to the projection of future urban complexes in the urban area of the city of Portoviejo.

Conclusions.

The elements analyzed allow us to recognize the importance of using bioclimatic parameters or principles of sustainable architecture and the use of constructive technology that empower the creation of sustainable housing programs, contributing positively to the environment and improving the habitability of the spaces.

Keywords : Bioclimatic architecture; quality of life; thermal comfort; housing complexes; bioclimatic parameters.
