| Sumario: | This study analyzes the thermal behavior of a house built with quincha in a bioclimatic zone IVa, in the Andean foothills where the climate is dry cold temperate. Hygrothermal sensors were used to measure the temperature and humidity inside and outside the house for 10 days representative of the cold, warm and intermediate seasons. The results show that the house has a good thermal performance, managing to dampen the large daily temperature amplitudes up to 17°C in winter and 6.8°C in summer (with T°ext min. = -4.1°C winter and T° ext.max.= 40.1°C in summer). Indoor thermal oscillation is also reduced, keeping the temperature stable and with a 2:10 hour delay on the coldest day. The mass effect of the quincha earth wall presents greater advantages in winter. However, indoor comfort levels are not achieved in summer (only 23%) and in winter (only 12%) through passive thermal conditioning. In the autumn season, comfort levels are achieved by 82%. These results can contribute to the reduction of energy consumption in houses built with natural resources such as earth in similar areas. |
