Lumiducts Implementation and Their Relation to Luminous Comfort in High Andean Homes in the District of Huamancaca-Peru in 2021

The insufficient research on lighting comfort in high Andean housing is irrelevant compared to thermal comfort. Therefore, the following study presents an eco-technique called lumiduct that allows increasing lighting in the required spaces; the design and construction process considers factors that must contribute to developing a low-cost and environmentally friendly model. The study research is on observing the influence of a lighting duct implemented in a House kitchen built with adobe in the southeastern district of Huamancaca, province of Chupaca, Junín region, Peru. The encountered problem shows that 75% of the district's population uses the kitchen constantly, even when 48% say it is the darkest and most inefficient space. This study is an Applied Research. It has been based on testing theories and performed on correlative levels, which aims to measure the relationship between two variables (lighting pipelines and high Andean housing). On the other hand, the results obtained allowed us to understand the lack of lighting comfort through the implementation of a lighting duct; evaluated through measurements with properly calibrated lux meters, showing a significant increase in internal illuminance, comparing the results obtained through the Dialux software.
