Determinación de horarios de aberturas en una vivienda de construcción masiva para su corrección térmica interior

Currently the choice of massive construction models isthe alternative with greater recurrence to acquire a housein warm humid climate in Mexico, however, much of thisis not adapted to its climatic environment and causesthermal discomfort in the user because of the internalenvironment generated as response of the characteristicsof its architectural envelope. To correct in a short timethe effect of thermal discomfort, the user usuallyemploys mechanized climatizations solutions such asfans or air conditioners. It was proposed the use ofschedule for opening hours in the architectural envelopein a warm humid climate, mainly in windows, as astrategy to correct the internal thermal environment,considering its advantages as the immediate applicationand easy implementation, in contrast to somearchitectural or physical modification of the envelope.Dry bulb temperature and relative humiditymeasurements were made in a massive constructionmodel to determine its thermal performance in the hottestmonth of the year. Subsequently, simulations were madewith EnergyPlus to determine suitable opening times tocorrect the thermal environment by prolonging the hoursof interior comfort when compared with the originalinterior thermal performance of the envelope.
