Resumen

Climate change has an impact on all the areas that operate in a construction environment and, essentially, on the life cycle of a home; in which the materials affect the construction pro-cess according to their energy content. The adobe is used for its thermal conductivity to improve the internal temperature of a home; However, in cold climates their behavior is not very efficient. In this sense, the phase change material (PCM) can be used as an alterna-tive because it is capable of storing latent heat and increasing the thermal mass of a building. In the present work, 06 insulation systems for walls, ceilings and floors of an adobe house are analyzed thermal insulation system is proposed, and a prototype is made with some components in 3D printing; the results indicate that the systems Trombe-PCM wall, translucent concrete block wall-PCM, false ceiling-PCM, concrete ceiling-PCM, alveolar floor-CM and plasterboard floor-PCM are adequate; with the proposed insulation system, an improvement of 42.71% of the internal thermal comfort is achieved when compared to adobe house without PCM; and an increase of 320.38% with respect to the Imata temperature, while the Trombe-PCM wall system prototype allows to make corrections in the design for its implementation on a real scale.
