This research is the product of the monitoring carried out from year 2019 to 2020 about the environmental parameters that determine the person´s comfort in six low-cost housing in Ciudad Valles, San Luis Potosí, México. These buildings were built in 1985, 1987, 1990, 1997, 2006 and 2008 respectively, between 1972 to 2006, foundation of INFONAVIT and CONAVI respectively, period of interest to analyze the thermal behavior of materials as block and concrete, which transcend the time due to their industrialization characteristics rather than their benefits in the person´s termal confort. The main objective is analyzes and demonstrate the thermal confort evolution provided by these classic materials in the hygrothermal environment, in order to suggest adjustments to improve it. the research questions are next; Do the classic materials provide a comfortable environment? How is the evolution of thermal comfort in the interior of the low-cost housing when building them with cement block and concrete? And if not; What are the recommendations to generate a better thermal environment? With the support of the PRODEP 2018 Program, some measuring equipment is obtained that are used to record the relative humidity, temperature, wind speed and temperature of the materials like the floor, the roof and the walls.
