Construcción con tapia pisada en un clima cálido húmedo: análisis bioclimático de la vivienda de tierra portante en san Juan Girón, Santander

Abstract

This research seeks to evaluate, through a specific methodology, the thermal behavior of the house built in tapia stepped on a Colombian territory. To land in an immediate context, the municipality of San Juan Girón, Santander was selected, where a historic center is located with permanence of colonial constructions on bearing ground and a humid warm climate is identified according to the collection of information from official weather stations. For the Bioclimatic analysis, 5 houses are built with traditional materials, similar morphologies and different orientations. Through simulation by means of the Ecotect Analysis® software, the environmental conditions and the affectations of these in the microclimate are recreated inside the spaces, to finally compare results, and identify the successes and failures of the case studies.
