Zonificación climática para su aplicación al diseño bioclimático. Aplicación en Galicia (España)

Abstract

The current Spanish legislation for energy efficiency establishes the climatic zones for compliance with the limitation of energy demand and consumption. These established zones do not have the function of being the basis for the design of buildings with bioclimatic strategies. We propose a methodology to develop a cartography based on Givoni's design strategies, establishing a general zoning between geographic areas of similar behaviour. The cartography thus obtained provides the designer with information on the strategies that can be used to achieve comfort, without having to perform complex information searches. It validates the operation of the methodology used in its application to the Autonomous Community of Galicia (Spain). Within the process, a comparison is established between the two cartographies so that the similarities and divergences can be verified between them, concluding the concrete and differential applications for each of them.
