Sumario:The present work develops a proposal for the thermal-energy envelope rehabilitation for housing units on a residential building. It consists of a tall building located in the city of San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina. With this rehabilitation, it seeks to generate better habitability conditions in terms of hygrothermal behavior in a sustainable and efficient way from the energetic point of view. A comparative way study of both cases (original and with proposals for improvement) is carry on to verify the improvements generated from the implementation of the proposal. This analysis is carried out from three thermal balance models: stationary model, stationary model with dynamic correction and dynamic model. The tools implemented for this are the IRAM standards, home labeling and computational thermal simulation. It is concluded that the energy benefits of the original case are deficient and a significant improvement is achieved after the implementation of rehabilitation strategies. This work allows to devise a series of guidelines that can be applied in existing high-rise buildings.
