ResumenLa Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, a través de su escuela de Arquitectura, plantea la sostenibilidad como uno de los ejes fundamentales del aprendizaje, desde la conciencia de la grave situación ambiental que el excesivo consumo de energía en las edificaciones provoca a nivel global. En este sentido, la iluminación natural (IN) y su aprovechamiento constituyen un aspecto imprescindible para el diseño de espacios interiores, dado que no solo brindan confort y salud, sino que también influyen directamente sobre el comportamiento de las personas y el consumo de energía. El clima y las condiciones físicas de un emplazamiento afectan a la incidencia de la IN, definiendo la forma en que se construye la arquitectura local.La ciudad de Quito, emplazada sobre los 2850 msnm en latitud 0° y encajonada en la cordillera de los Andes, cuenta con unas condiciones de incidencia solar particulares, debido al dinamismo de las condiciones de cobertura y densidad de la nubosidad. Sin embargo, en la actualidad todavía son escasos los diseños arquitectónicos en la ciudad que consideran de forma técnica aspectos de IN. La normativa vigente en materia de arquitectura solo contempla de forma superficial algunos aspectos y recomendaciones para el diseño de espacios arquitectónicos interiores que fomentan y fortalecen la utilización de la IN.En este caso, la metodología aplicada consiste en un trabajo grupal de investigación, en el que los estudiantes adquieren nociones fundamentales de bioclimática aplicada a la arquitectura, climatología local, incidencia e importancia de la luz directa y difusa en la arquitectura, geometría solar y dinamismo de las sombras a través del tiempo. El objetivo es aplicar los conocimientos adquiridos en un caso de estudio, conjugando las siguientes variables: destino de uso del espacio, orientación y tiempo predominante de utilización de este. Estas variables se analizan en un aplicativo modificable simplificado de estudio de IN para Quito, en el que se consideran las características físicas de la ciudad, permitiendo al diseñador determinar el tamaño adecuado de las aperturas verticales acristaladas, adaptándolas a la realidad de las condiciones climáticas de la ciudad, al espacio específico y su uso. De este modo, los estudiantes pueden visualizar de forma clara si las aperturas planteadas generarán en el usuario sensaciones de penumbra, confort o deslumbramiento, así como los períodos horarios en que se dan estas condiciones.Considerando las características climatológicas y físicas de Quito, el predimensionamiento lumínico natural ayuda a arquitectos y diseñadores, inclusive en etapa de pregrado, a generar espacios arquitectónicos coherentes y contextualizados desde el punto de vista de la IN y que permitan maximizar su uso y reducir el consumo de energía. Este proceso refuerza la importancia que tiene el planteamiento de acristalamientos en arquitectura en altura y latitud 0. Se establecen además las orientaciones de aperturas acristaladas más y menos favorables para Quito, así como los rangos horarios de mayor y menor incidencia y variabilidad de radiación solar, todo lo cual podría ser incluido en normas técnicas sobre diseño arquitectónico para la ciudad de Quito. Por último, se determinan los periodos temporales con mayor probabilidad de cielos despejados, semi-cubiertos y cubiertos, los cuales afectan especialmente a la incidencia de luz solar en un espacio interior.AbstractThe Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador, at its School of Architecture, considers sustainability as one of the essential points of learning, in the awareness of the severe environmental crisis which excessive energy consumption in buildings causes worldwide. In this sense, natural illumination (NI) and its use constitute an indispensable aspect in interior design, because it not only provides comfort and welfare, but also influences directly people’s behaviour and energy consumption. The weather and the physical conditions of a location affect the incidence of NI, defining the way which the local architecture is built in.The city of Quito, placed at 2,850 meters above the sea level at 0° latitude and squeezed in the Andes mountain range, shows particular conditions of solar incidence, due the dynamic conditions of sky coverage and cloud density. However, nowadays the architectural designs which consider aspects related to NI on a technical basis are still scarce. The current regulations on architecture only contemplate superficially some features and recommendations for architectural design of interiors which encourage and strengthen the importance of NI.The methodology applied consists in a group of research, where students acquire basic notions related to bioclimatic applied to architecture, local climatology, incidence and importance of direct and diffuse natural lighting, solar geometry and dynamism of shades along the time. The aim is to apply the knowledge acquired in case of study, conjugating the following variables: main use of space, space orientation and predominant schedule of use. These variables are analysed in a simplified modifiable application of a NI study developed for Quito, where the physical characteristics of the city are considered, allowing the designer to determinate the appropriate size of windows, adapting them to the reality of the weather conditions of the city, the specific space and its use. In this way, students are enabled to visualize clearly if the proposed openings will generate sensations of gloom, comfort or glare in the user, as well as the time zones when those lighting conditions affect the space.Considering the physical and climatological characteristics of Quito, natural luminic pre-sizing helps architects and designers, even in the undergraduate stage, to generate architectural spaces coherent and contextualized from the NI perspective, which allow to maximize its use and decrease energy consumption. This process reinforces the importance and implications which has the location of clear openings in highlands located at 0° latitude. Besides, it establishes the most and less favourable orientations for glazed openings in Quito, as well as the time zones with major and minor conditions of solar radiation incidence and variability; which all could be included in technical regulations on architectural design for the city of Quito. Finally, it determines time zones with major and minor probability of clear, semi-covered and covered skies, which specially affect sunlight incidence in an interior space.

The problem of air pollution in Almaty city in stagnant weather conditions is considered. Such conditions are so frequent, because the city is located at the foothills of the mountain range of Ile Alatau. The WRF-Chem complex model is used for the analysis and allows a high-detail simulation both of the atmospheric circulation and the transport of various pollutants, taking into account their chemical transformations. The results of modeling meteorological processes are compared with observational data. The main attention is paid to the calculation of the sulfur dioxide plume emitted by the pipes of the coal-fired CHP-2. The simulations showed that regional latitudinal wind, whose direction regularly changes to the opposite one, dominates in the northern part of the city atmosphere. During such periods and under unstable atmosphere stratification conditions, the plume dissipates and pollutants penetrate into the surface layer. In some areas, the concentration of SO2 significantly exceeds sanitary standards.

Due to the various local weather conditions in different regions of the city, the demand for air conditioning (AC) of housing is different, too. It happened occasionally to underestimate the energy consumption of AC in urban areas, because of using suburban/rural weather station data for building energy simulation. This study set up 34 automatic weather stations in the urban area of Tainan City, Taiwan for a year-round collection of local temperature and relative humidity data. Those weather measurement, the GIS information of a buffer zone and multiple regression analysis were used to establish the relationship between the weather factors, needed for the morphing approach, and the parameters of landscape use and cover. The buffer zone is an area of 1000×1000 m2 around the measured point, and is divided to two layers with upwind and downwind parts. Local hourly weather-year files for a whole of the city with a resolution of 200×200 m2 were generated by the morphing approach. With the different local hourly weather-year files, the AC-required hours and energy consumption from May to October for a typical residential with hybrid ventilation mode was obtained by using the EnergyPlus. And the cumulative UHI of each grid between May and October is calculated by taking the average of the five lowest temperatures as the reference value. The result shows that the number of AC hours of residential will increase by 10%, and the energy consumption increase from 1000 kWh to 2500 kWh, when long-term UHI intensity increases from 2000 °C-hour to 9000 °C-hour.

A new challenge is emerging. Contemporary built environment pedagogy demands engagement with both analogue and digital tools for simulation and verification of lit architectural environments. The use of analogue tools within architectural design education grasps onto the historically valued craftsmanship of drawing and physical models to measure, represent and understand our lit environment ambiance. Digital tools can provide efficient, simultaneous and precise verification of lit architectural interior space through 3D computer modelling and calculation software. However, the understanding and representation of daylit scenarios is becoming more numerically complex as lighting metrics and software gain in accuracy and dynamic range. With the majority of easily accessible software tools focussing on numerical verification, the ephemeral ambience that daylight in particular creates in interior architectural spaces is becoming ever more difficult to grasp for the architectural design student and practitioner. This paper seeks to challenge the exclusive use of digital tools for the understanding and representation of lit interiors by proposing that this methodology cultivates design epistemologies that are out of “touch”. Questionnaire findings and workshop studies are presented as pedagogical constructs are proposed inviting physical, experiential learning of lighting principles in collaboration with numerical and digital modes of learning to provide connections and translations to develop through ‘touch’ing light.

O conforto dos usuários de um ambiente costuma estar atrelado a um alto consumo de energia constituindo um possível problema ambiental. A bioclimatologia é uma das táticas utilizadas para reduzir o consumo de energia com máximo conforto para os usuários através do projeto arquitetônico. Existem normas e diretrizes que especificam estratégias de desempenho térmico, entre elas, a NBR 15220 (ABNT, 2005) é uma norma brasileira que apresenta recomendações para diferentes regiões e zonas bioclimáticas do país. Além dela, existe a NBR 15575 (ABNT, 2013), a Portaria n° 18 de 2012 (RTQ-R: Regulamento Técnico da Qualidade para o Nível de Eficiência Energética em Edificações Residenciais) e o Selo Casa Azul. Este trabalho avaliou as diretrizes construtivas de todas essas publicações para a Zona Bioclimática 6 (ZB6), onde se encontra a cidade de Catalão, objetivando encontrar as melhores estratégias arquitetônicas que podem ser implantadas nas casas de classe média dessa cidade. Utilizou-se o software DLN e dados do INMET para avaliação da orientação solar e dos ventos verificando as recomendações mais pertinentes para Catalão e região. Entre os resultados encontrados estão os tipos de vedações e coberturas, estratégias de condicionamento e posicionamento e dimensionamento das aberturas. A principal contribuição deste estudo foi identificar as características necessárias a um projeto arquitetônico, que atende a bioclimatologia, possibilitando maior eficiência energética para a ZB6, com destaque à cidade de Catalão. Abstract The comfort of users of an environment is usually linked to a high energy consumption, which constitutes a true environmental problem. The bioclimatology is one strategy used to reduce energy consumption with maximum comfort to users through the architectural design. There are standard and guidelines that specify thermal performance strategies, including the NBR 15220 (ABNT, 2005) is a Brazilian standard that makes recommendations for different regions and bioclimatic zones of the country. Beyond it, there is the NBR 15575 (ABNT, 2013) Portaria n°. 18 of 2012 (RTQ-R: Quality Technical Regulation for Energy Efficiency of Residential Buildings in level) and the Blue House Seal. This work assessed the constructive guidelines of all these publications to the bioclimatic zone 6, where it is the city of Catalão, aiming at finding the best architectural strategies that can be deployed in middle-class houses of this city. It was used the DLN software and INMET data for evaluation of solar orientation and wind orientation looking at the most relevant recommendations to Catalão and region. Some results are the types of wall and cover, conditioning strategies and positioning and sizing of the openings. The work contributes to identify the characteristics necessary for an architectural project, which attends to bioclimatology, allowing greater energy efficiency for ZB6, with emphasis on the city of Catalão.

The application of coloured and optical glass in architecture is of great importance in terms of creating spatial dynamics and uniqueness of space. Dichroic glass is a type of glass coated with a thin layer of metal, which causes the glass surface to change in colour depending on the viewing angle. The colour of the glass depends on the incidence of different wavelengths of light passing through or bouncing off the glass surface, thus creating different effects of colour refraction. Created effects provide different possibilities in the design of buildings and improvements in the aesthetic quality of the interior space. This paper deals with the analysis and application of coloured dichroic glass in architecture and interior design.
