Evaluación del confort térmico en las instalaciones de la Clínica Colón Esmeraldas, para establecer alternativas de diseño que disminuyan los niveles de temperatura.

Abstract

This document proposes design alternatives that will allow lowering the temperature levels in the facilities of the Colón clinic. The execution was carried out through the diagnosis and prior analysis of the building based on the methodology proposed by INSHT-NTP 322: Assessment of the risk of thermal stress: WBGT index and Decree 2393: regulation of safety and health of workers and improvement of the worker environment. Article 54. Heat. In addition to the use of observation sheets that allowed to identify the perception of the temperature that the population has. The sampling of the method to determine the permissible levels proposed by the NTP 322: Assessment of the risk of thermal stress: WBGT index, was carried out on 3 different dates and at three different times, which allowed to comply with the methodology of the technical regulations on occupational health and safety, as well as obtaining greater reliability in the data. The previous diagnosis based on the methodology proposed by the NTP 322 allowed to determine the appropriate design strategies to regulate the temperature inside the environment and provide greater comfort to staff and patients.
