Anteproyecto de vivienda multifamiliar aplicando estrategias bioclimáticas para disminuir el consumo energético de iluminación artificial, en la ciudad de Cuenca-Ecuador

Abstract

This research focuses on energy efficiency and optimization of natural lighting in multifamily buildings, applying bioclimatic strategies to reduce the energy consumption of artificial lighting. Given the growing concern about the environmental and economic impact of energy consumption, it is necessary to evaluate the influence of modifications to openings and the building context on natural lighting. The importance of this research lies in its potential to contribute to sustainability and energy efficiency, offering an innovative approach to bioclimatic design that can be replicated in other regions. It benefits the construction industry and residents by reducing energy costs and improving comfort. The general objective is to analyze the influence of modifications to openings and the environment on natural lighting. A descriptive and simulated study is used with a universe of multifamily buildings in Cuenca, evaluating simulations of different scenarios. The results reveal that energy efficiency is improved with the proposed modifications, optimizing natural lighting, reducing the need for artificial lighting, and contributing to sustainability standards.
