Abstract

The construction of a hydroelectric reservoir generates an apparent microclimate; manifested in the variation of the temperature of the surrounding areas. In this research, it is proposed to demonstrate the alteration of the temperature of the urban area of ​​the Paute canton located 25 km from the Mazar hydroelectric reservoir, through the statistical analysis of the annual climatological data obtained from the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology of the Ecuador (INAMHI), collected by the meteorological station M0138 located at the study point. To establish the ranges of variation of the climate and issue recommendations for the bioclimatic architectural design of single-family homes in the microclimate generated, it was necessary to model retrospective, current and prospective scenarios, for the prospective scenario, climate data was generated with the METEONORM software and compared with 20-year exponential trend curves. With the climatic data analyzed, we generated scenarios for bioclimate studies. Once the bioclimate studies were obtained, a comparative diagnosis was carried out to identify the effects of the microclimate on the hours of comfort, cold and heat. It is observed that the influence of the reservoir generates climate change, directly altering the bioclimate of the city of Paute, reducing the hours of comfort. We conclude that the generated microclimate represents a problem in the bioclimate of the city, for which measures must be taken to mitigate and adapt to the effects it will have on current and future buildings.
