Abstract

In the architectural design of the future, special attention will be paid to energy consumption, thermal comfort, and the satisfaction of the occupants of that space within a context heavily influenced by sustainability challenges. This research presents a comparative analysis between the wattle and daub construction system and walls made of brick and block. In the city of Cuenca, the analysis results were obtained using Fanger's method, which considers a moderately comfortable range for the wattle and daub system; meanwhile, the solutions analyzed are characterized by a less comfortable thermal environment. Subsequently, a multi-criteria methodology is applied to optimize the performance of the wattle and daub system, considering the environmental, economic, and social variables of different configurations. The results indicate, from a global perspective, the suitability of incorporating sheep's wool as an insulating material within the wattle and daub walls, followed by cellulose and flexible foam.
