Hygrothermal evaluation of different construction typologies of homes in Bahía Blanca

Abstract

This article analyzes the hygrothermal comfort of three single-family homes in Bahía Blanca, with different construction methods: traditional, reinforced concrete and dry construction. The objective is to expand knowledge within the framework of the research PID 8416: Energy efficiency and hygrothermal conditioning in engineering projects in the residential sector, an approach as mitigation measures to climate change, providing a base of information for future studies.

The analysis consists of monitoring each home through temperature and humidity measurements during winter and summer, contemplating compliance with the IRAM regulations on thermal conditioning.

This work offers information that could contribute to the construction of sustainable homes, focused on the well-being of residents and the reduction of energy consumption and its environmental footprint.
