Comfort perception and its influence on energy consumption in social housing in hot dry climates
This thesis explores the relationship between the perception of thermal comfort and the energy consumption. This association is given by settings that motivate individuals to perform an action to change current environmental conditions to reach thermal comfort. The analyzed groups were people living...

| description | This thesis explores the relationship between the perception of thermal comfort and the energy consumption. This association is given by settings that motivate individuals to perform an action to change current environmental conditions to reach thermal comfort. The analyzed groups were people living in social-dwellings in a hot-dry climate in Mexico. The first part of the research was the classification of variables, which influence the perception of thermal comfort. These variables go from very general aspects like climate and building features to more particular qualities as context characteristics and body’s individualities including psychological variables. From the resulting group, only selected those variables with available information of the behavioral responses, which are affected by the particular contextual characteristics, were selected. The analysis provided values to calculate action tendencies, finally resulting in a factor (per available device) to estimate energy consumption. Besides, a spreadsheet to perform action tendency calculations automatically was generated. Finally, based on the values of probability of action, the energy consumption was calculated. These results made clear, that the variables with the greatest influence are of psychological nature, such as preference and attitude towards the situation. |

Esta tesis explora la relación entre la percepción del confort térmico y el consumo de energía a través de los elementos o circunstancias que motivan a un individuo a realizar una acción para la búsqueda de la adaptación hacia un estado de confort y que finalmente, dicha acción pudiera consumir energía. El análisis se realizó en a un grupo de habitantes de la vivienda de interés social, en un clima cálido seco en México. La primera parte de la investigación se centra en la búsqueda y clasificación de variables que influyen en la construcción de la percepción del confort, desde generalidades como variables climáticas, variables de los edificios, hasta características particulares del individuo en relación al cuerpo humano, así como variables relacionadas con la dimensión psicológica. De la diversidad de variables encontradas, se seleccionaron solo aquellas con información disponible para su evaluación y luego entonces correlacionar sus valores con las probabilidades de realizar una acción específica para la adaptación según las particularidades del contexto analizado. Además para este fin, se programó una hoja de cálculo para automatizar el proceso de definición de la probabilidad de acción, la cual podría utilizarse para el futuro análisis de otros grupos específicos. Finalmente, en base a los valores de probabilidad de acción se calcularon los consumos de energía encontrando que las variables con mayor influencia son de carácter psicológico como la preferencia y actitud frente a la situación.
