| Summary: | Facades transcend the aesthetic expression of the architectural envelope and are responsible for the building's thermal response to its climatic environment. In traditional construction processes and technological advances in innovation for new products, the temperature and solar radiation conditions to which the building units will be subjected should be considered as guidelines. This is an especially relevant aspect in hot tropical climates where sunlight incidence on the envelope is high, in ranges above 6000Wh/m2 throughout the year. This research seeks to optimize the thermal response capacity of the ceramic envelope by reinterpreting the fired clay openwork as a construction element for enclosing walls. It is based on the identification of the pieces with the best physical and thermal characteristics in the industry in Norte de Santander. These products are easily acquired commercially as an alternative for the development of economical and efficient models for the manufacture of architectural skins in local buildings. In the process, design criteria are established that integrate thermal resistance strategies with local resources. The evaluation of the thermal efficiency of a constructive reinterpretation of ceramic openwork is carried out through digital simulations of heat flow and temperature distribution implementing the finite element method under parameters specific to temperature, radiation, and wind speed of the local climate. The results demonstrate that ceramic openwork, a traditional product, can be an effective solution for achieving improved physical and thermal performance of the enclosure in the city of Cúcuta. They also present a replicable model in new designs for generating innovation in sustainable construction units as alternatives for reducing active air conditioning requirements in buildings. |
