Probabilistic analysis of passive cooling strategies and occupant behaviour for improving the summer comfort conditions in apartments of the Santiago real estate market

摘要: Overheating appears as a recurrent problem in apartments of the real estate market Santiago de Chile, since their architectural design frequently does not incorporate passive cooling techniques and some occupants may be completely aware impact on thermal comfort. This situation is encouraged by Thermal Regulation that allows extensive single glazing surfaces building envelope propose any criteria or recommendations for limiting risk overheating during period. In addition to this, has practically been studied terms comfort could considered correctly represented typologies designed light Regulation. To deal with this entire scenario, we proposed application strategies aim obtaining adequate conditions summer avoiding use air conditioning Santiago. sense, paper establishes definition apartment through multidimensional approach disaggregation, sensitivity analysis assessing possibilities reduce means two questionnaire surveys related occupant behaviour respect natural ventilation interest willingness purchase solar protection devices. The results obtained suggest best performance can from combination diverse variables would significant reduction overheating. presence devices night constitute very input parameters, especially living rooms bedrooms, respectively. However, favourable should taken lightly, it was observed non-negligible amount are opening windows night-time. Therefore, an important challenge only public policies, but also developers technique. At same time, industry able effectively communicate advantages, attributes technical aspects comparison other less effective control measures. Finally, thesis introducing improvements according specific requirements identified, suggests integration series attributes, such incorporation part (and post-occupancy decision), being developed at level value chain.
