La investigación aborda la influencia de las condiciones ambientales en la vida humana, destacando el aumento de costos energéticos y la importancia de encontrar alternativas arquitectónicas para mejorar el confort y la eficiencia energética. Se identifican cuatro elementos clave para el confort higrotérmico en edificios: temperatura, humedad, velocidad y calidad del aire. La ventilación, esencial para la calidad del aire, adquiere mayor importancia debido a la pandemia de COVID-19.  Se estudia la implementación del sistema de Ventilación Mecánica con intercambio de calor geotérmico diseñado para ajustarse a algunas localidades ubicadas la región central de la República Argentina. Se detallan sus componentes, criterios de diseño y aplicación en diversos proyectos analizando sus ventajas y dificultades en su ejecución. Luego de realizar siete proyectos piloto con éxito, se ha podido demostrar la viabilidad tanto técnica como económica del sistema, garantizan un caudal adecuado y reduciendo notablemente el consumo energético.
