Taxonomía de celosías de pequeño formato para la modelización energética de edificios

This study proposes a taxonomy to characterize small-format concrete and ceramic latticework, defining
the parameters required for its integration of Building Energy Modeling (BEM) tools, particularly EnergyPlus and
DesignBuilder. Preliminary findings, based on observational studies, an analysis of existing literature on perforated
facades, and a case study conducted in Panama, suggest the presence of morphological and geometric variability
in contemporary perforated facades. These findings lead to the indication of key variables, including module
geometry, position within the envelope system, perforation percentage, operating depth of the module, the internal
section of the opening, surface properties, material properties, and environmental function. These variables are
then organized into a framework that articulates the steps necessary for parameterization. A previous study, which
was monitored and calibrated, is used as a demonstration case to establish a correlation between variables and
input parameters in BEM. This correlation is intended to demonstrate the influence of these variables on the
agreement between simulation and measured performance. It is concluded that the incorporation of module geometric modeling parameters, as defined by the taxonomy, can enhance the predictive capacity of simulations, fortify the consistency of modeling, and facilitate reproducible comparative analyses that support energy design decisions in perforated envelopes.
