Modelo de optimización energética con energía solar en vivienda unifamiliar.

Abstract

The global energy problematic begins to appear at first places in discussions in many areas of knowledge, particularly in architecture. Optimizing the use of energy is crucial for any development related with energy consumption. This paper is focused on study and elaboration of an architectural model for energy optimization using solar engineering for a homestead, taking into account the application of passive and active solar energy in its different forms. In this way, the model is developed considering environmental conditions (climate, topography, orientation, wind speed) and energy needs of the house. Starting from these variables, an architectural design is done taking into consideration some parameters such as orientation, type and form of construction materials needed to achieve the goals of energy optimization initially planned. As results a design of an energetically self-sustaining house is presented using passive solar energy to reduce heat losses and gain energy, and active solar energy as a complementary source of energy in terms of thermal and electrical needs. The thermal conductivity of some building materials and its application for passive energy is analyzed. This house model contains decisive elements as thermal comfort floor, pool heating, electricity and hot water, all of this supplied with clean energy.
