Description
Summary:The following article describes the study carried out in a group of houses in the city of Córdoba, with the aim of understanding how people perceive the thermal environment of their homes. Starting from an ongoing doctoral research, based mainly on the hygrothermal comfort of residential interior spaces under the adaptive conception, and assessing the idea that the comfort paradigm has evolved in recent years, the interest of this article is to describe the sensations subjective related to the hygrothermal comfort of the people who live in Córdoba. The methodological study was developed through the constant comparative method, using guided interviews and the theoretical sensitivity of the researcher. The conclusions addressed have to do with the negative impact that thermal discomfort produces in people's lives, the unconscious dependence of the user on technology to achieve comfort, instead of passive strategies.
