| Sumario: | Carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution is on the rise and, in Argentina, the construction sector is responsible for 40 %. In order to reduce the impact of emissions, existing buildings require adaptation solutions. The objective of this work is to identify the constructive strengths of heritage dwellings that benefit their thermal behavior. The case study is located in Mendoza, Argentina. In situ measurements were carried out during the winter season. The results show constructive strengths related to thermal inertia. With daily exterior thermal amplitudes of 15 °C; the interior rooms present amplitudes of less than 3 °C on the upper floor and between 7 and 8 °C on the upper floor (the impact of the roof is evident: exposed and light, without insulation). In conclusion, it is stated that, in an arid climate, buildings with massive construction features present constructive strengths that enhance their thermal performance. |
