Affordable Homes Providing Comfort

Affordable homes providing comfort

Introduction

This type of architecture is based on the importance of providing the construction for thermal and acoustic comfort, inside the space. Izard mention “this type of architecture is to create sustainable and comfortable environments in which energy consumption is reduced, in addition to improving the acoustics of spaces and air quality”. The objective of bioclimatic architecture is to design constructions that are able to change their environmental behavior according to the conditions of each season the year. Criteria for the design of bioclimatic housing. With it, it is intended to achieve maximum use of solar radiation and create natural air currents.

Developing

The house must have adequate orientation. The west and north facade will be illuminated all day, so there must be built the rooms where the inhabitants spend most of the time;Solar radiation does not reach the southern facade of the house, so it is convenient to build passing areas, corridors, stores, machine rooms and the like in that area of the house. Finding the most appropriate orientation for a home is to locate the most appropriate place for each environment in relation to: sunny, ventilation, pleasant views. As a design criterion in a home it is to take advantage of the benefits of the direct incidence of solar rays in the most efficient way.

Taking into account the corresponding protections for the excesses of the same. It is the total or partial renewal in the amount of air in a closed place, replacing carbonic anhydride (C02) and other breathing gases, combustion, etc.

, For the purest air. The ventilation of an environment can be done in two ways: by natural ventilation and artificial ventilation. Ventilation occurs when there are air currents that are known by wind name. "It consists of trying to dispose of the openings of the environments according to the landscape requirements". Quiroz mentions "There are two types of form, first is the form of internal space and the second external volumetric profile". 

In other words. Passive sun collection. Deffis mentions "a bioclimatic housing the collection of solar energy is done taking advantage of the design of the house, without using mechanical systems". In this regard, Serra adds: Radiation is used for this, which makes it penetrates through a glass, heating the materials arranged from behind. The materials so heated keep the heat and subsequently release it, attending to a delay that will depend on their thermal inertia.

Housing as any construction responds to a specific need and is consequently, the result of the factors involved for organic functioning. In rural homes, the inhabiting function is similar to that of any type of housing;They differ by their relationships with animals, agricultural crops, storage services, etc. Robledo refers to "cannot be accepted as housing anything that protects from the inclement weather. Currently housing is sufficient, hygienic and safe space allowing the correct development of human activities in accordance with the evolution of society ”. They need a series of material supports, one of which, the most important for the family is housing. 

conclusion

Housing has the material support character of a considerable part of the consumer activities necessary for the reproduction of labor force. It is a set of open and closed spaces conveniently arranged to accommodate a family, becoming an indispensable element for its existence, conservation and development. Closed and empty spaces are related to different activities that involve all human dynamism, from simple rest and shelter, accompanied by conditions for a directed, efficient leisure and recover, relaxing and producer of satisfaction and comfort.
