| Summary: | This locally-tailored research focuses on sustainable housing in San Luis, Potosí, Mexico and includes verticality to increase urban density, flexibility to adapt to demographic changes and climate change resilience through the assessment of bio-climatic design strategies into a single prototype. This prototype was also useful to compare the thermal comfort performance of hollow concrete blocks and fired bricks; such a measure was made via DesignBuilder. This paper shows that a locally-tailored bio-climatic design may enable the production of sustainable housing resilient to climate change in San Luis, Potosí. |
