- Abstract
Despite the global environmental crisis, the energy performance of buildings does not correspond to the necessary changes. The Cuban regulatory framework does not consider urban-architectural design as a resource to reduce the energy demand of buildings, where solar protection of openings is essential. The objective of the work was to propose design recommendations based on the influence of the urban context and orientation on solar protection and energy demand for cooling. The Energy Plus tool was used to simulate different urban scenarios and orientations, evaluating their impact on solar protection and energy demand. It is shown that by considering these factors, it is possible to reduce solar protection costs and energy demand. The importance of designing each portion of the vertical envelope considering its orientation and its relationship with the immediate context to achieve greater energy efficiency is highlighted.
