Among the qualitative factors were framed aspects as thermic insolation, ventilation, control of interior humidity and steam, sunning, to mention something, which affect the life quality of the dwellers. In this context was stated the present investigation whose main goal was to determine the factors that affect the welfare of the people inside the low-cost housings, evaluating the condensation phenomenon. To achieve the goals of the investigation, it was made in first instance a theoretical study of the problem and of the condensation phenomenon that is produced in the low-cost housings, then it was made an evaluation of the behavior of the housings by measures on the ground and application of surveys to the habitants. Subsequently, the data were analyzed, the conclusions were obtained and the action mechanisms were proposed. The investigation allowed to conclude that the condensation phenomenon is a recurrent problem in the low-cost housings, and that the main causes are the high relative humidity of the interior ambient air, due to the habitual manipulations of the users, and the low surface temperatures of the walls and ceilings in relation to the temperature of the interior air. En Chile, la acción habitacional presenta soluciones de viviendas sociales que responden sólo a factores cuantitativos, debido a la necesidad de reducir el déficit habitacional del país, dejando en un segundo plano los factores cualitativos que otorgan las condiciones de habitabilidad y confort dentro de las viviendas. Entre los factores cualitativos se enmarcan aspectos como aislación térmica, ventilación, control de humedad y del vapor interior, asoleamiento, por mencionar algunos, que afectan la calidad de vida de los moradores. En este contexto se planteó la presente investigación cuyo objetivo principal fue determinar los factores que afectan el bienestar de las personas en el interior de las viviendas sociales, evaluando el fenómeno de condensación. Para lograr los objetivos de la investigación, se realizó en primera instancia un estudio teórico del problema y del fenómeno de condensación que se produce en las viviendas sociales, luego se realizó una evaluación del comportamiento de las viviendas mediante mediciones en terreno y aplicación de encuestas a los habitantes. Posteriormente se analizaron los datos, se obtuvieron las conclusiones y se propusieron mecanismos de acción. La investigación permitió concluir que el fenómeno de condensación es un problema recurrente en las viviendas sociales, y que las causas principales son la alta humedad relativa del aire ambiente interior, debido a los malos hábitos de los usuarios, y las bajas temperaturas superficiales de muros y cielos con respecto a la temperatura de aire interior.
