Bioclimatic design to reduce temperature in each room and reduce energy consumption, using the shading technique

Abstract

Proper shading on home ceilings plays a key role in the thermal regulation of the interior of living spaces. This article proposes a shading technique with recycled pallets applicable to residential roofs, with the aim of improving thermal comfort and reducing energy consumption in air conditioning. Its effectiveness in the climatic context and architectural conditions of the port of Veracruz, Mexico, is shown. In addition, the benefits associated with implementing these techniques are discussed, including reduced heat load, energy savings, and improved occupant well-being.
