Diagnóstico exploratorio del comportamiento termodinámico de las viviendas rurales productivas agrícolas aisladas, del municipio de Tona del corregimiento de Berlín

Abstract

The main objective of this research focused on analyzing the potential deficit of thermal comfort, specifically in contexts of low temperatures, in Berlín, Santander. To achieve this, 15 isolated rural houses were selected, located in the municipality of Tona, within the corregimiento of Berlín, in an area designated for agricultural recovery and production. The methodology included a characterization of the local climate and an analysis of the relevant environmental factors. To deepen the study, an analogous thermodynamic characterization was carried out through the collection of in situ data and a qualitative assessment of the thermal perception of residents via surveys. This approach provided a more comprehensive view of the thermal behavior of the houses. Similarly, a digital characterization was performed using DesignBuilder software, establishing specific parameters that considered various factors influencing the thermal behavior of the defined housing typologies. The objective was to model the thermal conditions as closely as possible to reality, allowing for accurate simulations. The results of the simulations conducted were compared with the analogous data collected, and subsequently validated. These results became the foundation for developing guidelines aimed at improving the thermal comfort of the examined houses and, consequently, the well-being of their occupants.
