Análisis comparativo del comportamiento térmico de dos edificios en clima cálido húmedo. Caso de estudio: Hotel Mi California - Barrancabermeja, Santander

Abstract

This research work seeks to develop a comparative analysis between two buildings, to measure and evaluate the effectiveness of the applied bioclimatic strategies, in order to improve the current conditions of the building, taking into account its thermal behavior and the climatic conditions in which is located. As a case study, a building for commercial use is selected - hotel located in Barrancabermeja - Santander, city identified under the hot humid climate according to the climatic classification of Köppen-Geiger. To carry out the analysis, a methodology is constructed based on the comparison of different methodologies for the evaluation of thermal behavior. After the compilation of climatological and normative data, an analysis is made of the site and the building is made in front of its surroundings; it is zoned and qualified in order to prepare the respective building survey in the Design Builder software. The new hotel proposal is designed based on the bioclimatic strategies chosen for humid warm climate according to the Climagrama de bienestar de Baruch Givoni and other digital climate analysis tools. Finally, the data obtained after simulating the current building and the new proposal will be compared under the same climatic scenario and time period, in order to identify if the main comfort problems could be solved under the selected bioclimatic strategies.
