Energy Performance of the Iberoamerican Architecture
Theoretical and Methodological Basis for Classification and Evaluation
Keywords:
architectural types, urban types, Ibero-America, energy performanceAbstract
The energy performance of architecture, which depends on its passive design, is essential for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 11, although it is a topic rarely addressed in Latin America, particularly in self-built popular housing. This work, carried out by the CYTED REDENARQUI network, aimed to establish common theoretical and methodological foundations for characterizing, classifying, and evaluating Ibero-American architecture according to its energy performance. This theoretical phase combines documentary research and the experience of each working group with a collective discussion of the findings. The results include the variables to consider in identifying architectural and urban types in the region and the procedures for evaluating them based on the annual percentage of hours of discomfort each type generates. These results will serve as benchmarks for new architecture and the renovation processes of built heritage in the Ibero-American region, to be explored in the next stages of research.
