Abstract
This study develops an assessment of indoor thermal comfort conditions in five apartment-type dwellings of a rehabilitated building, previously abandoned, now intended for residential use, which is in the city of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, with a tropical hot climate. For the development of the study, a monitoring of indoor temperatures was developed for 41 days during the hottest and driest season of the year. Since this unprecedented pilot project seeks to promote new housing projects in the historic center of Tegucigalpa, the objective of this study was to measure whether the rehabilitation was effective in terms of thermal habitability conditions. The rehabilitation was assessed by identifying the hours of exceedance where indoor operative temperature exceeds the maximum acceptable temperature, following the adaptive thermal comfort approach of ASHRAE Standard 55. The study demonstrates that the preservation of passive measures of the original design (sun protection in the facade and the inner courtyard) help to provide comfortable indoor temperatures during the hottest period of the year, with the exception of some dwellings that experienced hours of exceedance during the afternoon and evening hours. Among the factors that influenced dwellings to experience hours of exceedances, is the lack of natural ventilation, orientation and level in the building. Rehabilitation projects can achieve the double objective of preserving the identity of the building and the city center, and in turn provide healthy thermal conditions for the occupants.
