| Résumé: | Aiming to contribute to impact reduction in the construction of buildings, various systems of ventilated and conventional facades were designed, involving opaque facades, plant elements, and air chambers. Such systems were evaluated through environmental simulations and prototype measurements at various stages of the project, which allowed comparing results and identifying their behavior in terms of thermal comfort. The results of these simulations compared against measurements highlighted two issues: discrepancies and similarities between inputs and outputs in the above mentioned two process types; as well as the performance of opaque ventilated facades in humid tropical climate such as in Girardot, which suggested a last stage to evaluate passive design strategies in search for thermal comfort and sustainability in architectural projects. |
