Caracterización de la humedad en las viviendas eclécticas del Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de Santiago de Cuba
Abstract
RESUMEN: La caracterización de la humedad en las
viviendas eclécticas del centro histórico de la ciudad de
Santiago de Cuba permitió valorar el comportamiento
de este fenómeno a partir de los elementos de cubierta
y de fachada; las técnicas constructivas asociadas al
estilo y los factores medioambientales de la zona. En el
estudio se establecieron como variables: tipo de fachada,
orientación, tipo de cubierta, superficie afectada y tipo
de humedad, que fueron integradas a partir de una base
de datos resultado de un levantamiento. Se demuestra
que el tipo de humedad predominante en las viviendas
eclécticas de la zona de estudio es el de infiltración;
que los tipos de fachadas más afectadas en cuanto a
orientación e integración con la cubierta son la simple y
la de balconaje, con la cubierta de armadura, y que las
condicionales ambientales no ayudan a minimizar los
efectos de la humedad. El estudio sirve como punto de
partida para investigaciones futuras en el tema.

Characterization of the humidity in eclectic residencial buildings
of the Urban Historic Centre of Santiago de Cuba City.
ABSTRACT: The characterization of the humidity in
the eclectic residential buildings of the historic centre
of Santiago de Cuba City allowed the evaluation of the
behaviour of this phenomenon including the elements
of covering and facade; the constructive techniques
associated to the architectural style; and environment
factors of the zone. The variables studied: type of
facade, orientation, type of covering, affected surface
and type of humidity were obtained from a database of
a survey result. The predominant type of moisture in
the eclectic residential buildings of the zone of study is
the infiltration. Facades types most affected in terms
of orientation and integration with the cover are: the
simple and the balcony, with the reinforcing cover; and
the environmental conditions do not help to minimize
the effects of moisture. The study serves as a starting
point for future research on the topic.
KEY WORDS: Humidity, eclectic residential buildings,
historic centre, Santiago de Cuba.
