Abstract
Esta investigación, titulada: ¿Realidad o Simulación?: Estudio comparativo de métodos para determinar el
comportamiento y la calidad de la luz natural en un espacio interior, se sitúa en el ámbito de la simulación
energética de niveles de iluminación natural existentes en un espacio interior, su evaluación y validación
con valores reales. El objetivo principal es determinar la precisión de los cálculos generados por cada
herramienta en relación con los niveles de iluminancia reales medidos un espacio interno: el área de trabajo
del Laboratorio de Arquitectura Tropical, ubicado en la Escuela de Arquitectura de la Universidad de Costa
Rica.
Se identifica la capacidad de predicción de cada motor de cálculo en la simulación de escenarios reales, así
como la precisión y las limitantes que se reconozcan en cada método, con el fin de determinar en qué
ocasiones utilizar cada uno, según la necesidad del estudiante o profesional. Para conseguirlo, se ha
realizado una investigación bibliográfica que ha consistido en determinar cuáles herramientas existen
actualmente, como han sido utilizadas, que estudios comparativos previos existen, qué información técnica
es importante sobre ellas, entre otros. Además, se realiza un estudio de normas y procedimientos nacionales
e internacionales para medir la calidad de la luz natural.
La relevancia y pertinencia de este trabajo académico radica en sus aportes para propiciar la incorporación
de herramientas para simular iluminación tanto natural como artificial en el proceso de diseño de estudiantes
y profesionales de arquitectura en Costa Rica. Esto con posibilidad de identificar problemáticas de inconfort
lumínico y visual en su proceso de diseño, mejorar situaciones de baja calidad lumínica en ambientes
construidos y contribuir al ahorro energético. A su vez, en el campo de la investigación, se aporta evidencia
empírica para la validación de herramientas de simulación lumínica, con el propósito de evaluar su
confiabilidad y su capacidad de predicción de escenarios reales.
This research, entitled: Reality or Simulation: A comparative study of methods to determine the behavior and quality of natural light in an interior space, is situated in the field of energy simulation of existing natural lighting levels in an interior space, its evaluation and validation with real values. The main objective is to determine the accuracy of the calculations generated by each tool in relation to the real illuminance levels measured in an indoor space: the work area of the Tropical Architecture Laboratory, located in the School of Architecture at the University of Costa Rica. The aim is to identify the predictive capacity of each calculation engine in the simulation of real scenarios, as well as the accuracy and limitations recognized in each method, in order to determine when to use each one, according to the needs of the student or professional. To achieve this, a bibliographic research has been carried out to determine which tools currently exist, how they have been used, what previous comparative studies exist, what technical information is important about them, among others. In addition, a study of national and international standards and procedures for measuring the quality of natural light was carried out. The relevance and pertinence of this academic work lies in its contributions to promote the incorporation of tools to simulate both natural and artificial lighting in the design process of architecture students and professionals in Costa Rica. This will make it possible to identify lighting and visual discomfort problems in the design process, improve situations of low lighting quality in built environments and contribute to energy savings. At the same time, in the field of research, empirical evidence is provided for the validation of lighting simulation tools, with the purpose of evaluating their reliability and their capacity to predict real scenarios.
