In areas with a humid tropical Colombian climate, the control of temperature and relative humidity is essential to achieve thermal comfort inside the houses, the temperature and relative humidity must be controlled by bioclimatic strategies that include the materiality of the facades used. In this context there are still areas of the humid Colombian tropics that preserve ancestral customs to build their homes adapted to these thermal conditions. This research addressed the study of autochthonous techniques and materials used by the inhabitants of Afro-descendant and indigenous cultures of the Colombian Pacific for the elaboration of their envelopes or enclosures of their houses: The indigenous use fibers from Iraca Carludovica palmata Ruiz & Pav and the Afro-descendant peoples use banana or platanillo fiber Musa Balbisiana Musacea as a sun protection curtain and in both cultures use ...

The following document aims at deploying rural productive housing models based on bioclimatic design items focalized on cold humid Andean weather, and starting from the analysis of traditional dwelling in the area. The case study is located in Facatativá, a town in Cundinamarca, which is a region with diverse climatic features due to its strong wind, temperature variations from 0° Celsius during the day until 20° Celsius at late night with frost seasons in the early morning, and a high relative humidity. On top of that, precipitations are quite high over the year. As a tradition, rural dwelling has characteristics of compact buildings with proper local elements like pedestrian corridors around the house as well as the porch, among others. These features of climate, as well as the mentioned architectural typology factors of the analyzed house prototypes, generate thermal discomfort on ...
