Bioclimatic Design Strategies in Rural Dwelling in the Chucuito District—Puno 2021

This paper aims at advancing bioclimatic design strategies in a rural house in the Chucuito district, Puno. The town of Juli’s temperature is usually −1 °C (30 °F), reaching as low as −8.9 °C (16 °F) and −15.6 °C (4 °F) in the most remote areas with the highest altitude. Housing was built with a contemporary confined masonry system and pitched roofs made of metal calamine. The house’s functions were assessed using modeling in specialized software such as DesignBuilder where changes were made on the façade’s materials and internal distributions. First, the surrounding climate conditions, the prevalence of lighting toward the façades and the wind’s direction will be considered. Finally, the house’s thermal comfort was stressed. As a result, it reached an air average temperature between 21 and 23 °C (70 and 73 °F) and outdoor air temperature from 10 to 13 °C (50–55 °F).
