Análisis del Comportamiento Termodinámico de la Tipología de Vivienda Rural Productiva Actual del Corregimiento de Berlín

Abstract

This investigation seeks to evaluate, through an analysis methodology, the thermic behavior of a productive rural isolated living place in a high mountain weather condition. As explained before the twenty living places observed are located at the Berlin Township, which belongs to Tona municipality, in Santander department. All of them located in an agricultural town and in a cold, humid weather, according to climatologic information of the official stations. The main goal of this investigation is to analyze the thermodynamic behavior of the existing typology in the rural productive living place at the Berlin Township, through that we can identify possible pathologies and propose design alternatives to improve the quality of living of Berlin population. To achieve this we went through three kinds of analysis: bioclimatic, thermodynamic and thermic comfort. For the bioclimatic analysis, we went through the architectural survey of the living place type, based on the site observation of all surveyed living places, taking in to a count all traditional materials in the area. The tools used to determine the thermic comfort of the type living place are Climate Consultant y Design Builder. Finally the analysis outcome results were compared and the successes and failures of the type living place were identified. Additionally strategies were developed to counter the identified pathologies and favor the thermic comfort of the rural living places at the Berlin Township.
