Abstract

This study has been developed in HDM, Lund University and it focuses on the use of passive technique to achieve indoor thermal comfort in experimental houses in arid coastal lands in the Atacama Desert, Chile. Computer simulations indicates that indoor comfort conditions may improve by simple passive techniques that included the use of recycled and local material for thermal storage/insulation, shading devices and orientation of openings. The case study –Pallet House- formulates a life cycle model by the recycling of timber pallets as constructive units with lightweight materials using for low-income houses.
