Peru

An analysis of the t implications of bioclimatic design on architecture and constructive aspects was done and this survey shows that in Peru the population has been applying bioclimatic techniques for intense heat (coast) and intense cool (mountains). In what concerns the recent edifications were identified some with elements, shapes and materials that reveal to be a bioclimatic project, however, the inexistence of documental elements does not allow confirming the purpose of the architects. As architecture examples were selected: Universidade Nacional de Puno, Hotel Atualpa de Cusco, Faculdade de Direito da Universidade Privada Antenor Orrego, Templo Maria Auxiliadora, Albergue rural Suasie Centro Virtula de Salud Qotowincho [2].

An experimental and numerical study was performed in order to evaluate the internal comfort conditions of single family houses existent at more than 3000 m high. The single family house was simulated with EnergyPlus for the climate file was used climatic data measured nearby. The interior temperature measurement and the simulations results confirm the discomfort described by the users. It

was concluded that the problem is on the losses through the ceiling and that the raw hearth walls were suitable and in a first approach that that the orientation at that height is not determinant [2]. In Figure 11 is compared the experimental measurements and the simulation results.
