Abstract
The new technologies for passive and hybrid conditioning, integrated to buildings with an agro-industrial purpose, make it possible to improve light and thermal conditions, diminish the use of energy resources, the environmental impact and the reliance on artificial conditioning systems. In the province of Catamarca, Argentina (28° 40? south latitude and 65° 45? west longitude), these concepts are incorporated to a 114m2 agamic propagation building adapted for high quality plants multiplication, very important for the regional economic growth. The objective of this work is to know the building characteristics in order to adapt the design with bioclimatic strategies. Internal and external temperature, light and humidity measurings were conducted in different parts of the building using automatic dataloggers during one year. Results of monitoring during the most critical summer and winter months are shown as well as the thermal simulation using the SIMEDIF for Windows program. The results of the observed and simulated periods of the building have shown the dependence on the outside climatic variables and constructive aspects, which affect energy saving and environmental impact. Suggestions are described for design adaptation and an important reduction in conventional energy consumption.
