Passive hygrothermal behaviour and indoor comfort concerning the construction evolution of the traditional Basque architectural model. Lea valley case study

摘要

The main objective of this article is the measurement of the passive hygrothermal behaviour and indoor comfort in the traditional Basque architectural model as it has developed and evolved since the 15th Century. For that purpose, the traditional farmhouse architecture in the River Lea valley, located in the Historical Territory of Bizkaia (Basque Country, Spain) and characterized by a temperate-humid climate, was studied and evaluated.
