Propuesta de diseño de un centro de salud categoría 3 con estrategias bioclimáticas en el barrio Tejaditos de Piedecuesta, Santander.

Abstract

The following architectural proposal aims to design a category 3 health center in the Tejidos neighborhood in the city of Piedecuesta, using active and passive bioclimatic strategies, with the aim of reducing energy consumption and conserving the temperature of the environment. Next, a study process of different typologies of national and international health centers is carried out, as well as the analysis of the urban, formal, functional and technical environment of the architectural proposal, as well as the surrounding infrastructure of the center is identified. environment to develop design criteria that facilitate strategic location and improve accessibility for the community and its surroundings. Likewise, the design of the health center incorporates active bioclimatic strategies, and passive bioclimatic strategies take advantage of natural conditions to achieve a comfortable internal temperature, through the location and orientation of the building, cross ventilation and the entry of natural light. In addition, thermal materials are used to improve thermal comfort and reduce environmental impact. What is the social and environmental benefit? The design of green spaces and gardens around the health center also contributes to the improvement of microclimatic conditions and the creation of more welcoming and healthy environments. Additionally, education and awareness of these passive bioclimatic practices among staff and the community are critical to ensuring their long-term maintenance and success. This project demonstrates that passive bioclimatic strategies are a viable and beneficial option for the construction and operation of healthcare facilities and is a valuable contribution to the field of sustainability and healthcare by providing a better care experience and avoiding adapted homes that They do not fulfill the final function of the health center, which is to provide quality care.
