Evaluation of Thermal Behavior in the Built Heritage of the Historical Center of the Riobamba City

Abstract:

The popular architecture of many countries shows that for a long time, by considering the natural climatic components, primarily determined by the sun, buildings could be built with the capacity of giving their occupants the maximum comfort conditions, both from the energy as well as the health point of view with a minimum of technical expenses. This truth has often fallen into oblivion throughout the history of architecture, especially in recent decades. To achieve this objective, the organic articulation of human beings is required with the binomial nature: technology and globalization processes, with local behaviors. Currently, in conceptual terms, these processes are proposed as “sustainable architecture in the conservation of architectural heritage.” In this sense, both the theoretical analysis and the strategic proposals of this research focus on how the energy variable is incorporated into the heritage architecture to determine the alternative characteristics of change towards sustainable development in heritage buildings. The importance of this research lies in the architectural field as it needs to contemplate control techniques in the energy-environmental transmission with a non-restrictive approach. This promotes good practices in the fields of sustainable and ecological architecture by allowing more appropriate actions towards the climatic conditions that allow preserve the vocation of the historic center of the city of Riobamba to recover the sense of comfort, as well as to reverse the ill-fated process of energy transmission. In this sense, it is important to work with users through means liabilities to improve comfort in housing conditions, and so in this …
