Bioclimatic Criteria for a Guest House in the District of Canta – Lima

The objective of this work is to propose an architectural design of a Guest House applying bioclimatic criteria that generate comfort and serve as an example for the development of other related projects The objective of this research is to propose bioclimatic criteria in a Guest House that adapts to the environment, starting by making the most of the natural resources of the region of Canta-Lima-Peru. It was observed that the area has the presence of natural disasters such as landslides and earthquakes, also the typology of hotel in the study site is scarce and is not suitable to the bioclimatic environment, causing that tourism in the study site is not properly supplied. A four-phase study was carried out that included a literature review and observation of the hotels in Canta, their typologies and infrastructure. A model was proposed in which bioclimatic strategies were applied such as the use of rammed earth in walls since it has physical, thermal, acoustic, structural and economic properties, as well as the use of solar panels for energy savings, louvers, patios for lighting and ventilation of spaces, sloping roofs to withstand rain and wind, all of which help us to obtain the comfort of the users in the project. It is concluded that the typology of hotels in Canta is not adapted to its bioclimatic environment, so the Guest House proposal is appropriate in the context and takes advantage of the tourism resource in the area improving the experience of people.
