  • Thermal comfort ¡n buildings for wet processing of coffee Lina Marcela Guerra-García Ilda de Fátima Ferreira-Tinôco Jairo Alexander Osorio-Saraz Robinson Osorio-Hernández Arquitectura post thermal stress thermal resistance natural ventilation occupation evaluation This study aimed to assess thermal comfort for workers in three buildings for wet coffee processing in Colombia, using the WBGT index, and temperature and relative humidity analysis through mapping. The limits recommended by the WBGT index were exceeded during the activity of putting fuel in the dryer in Building 3. The three buildings presented spatial hygrothermal variability due to the coffee dryer, as well as problems with ventilation, volume control, and the thermal resistance of materials in Buildings 2 and 3. In order to favor heat transfer from the dryer to the outside environment, and to make the thermal environment of these buildings more homogeneous, it is recommended to install thermal bridges around this area, to make more efficient the evacuation of steam and heat, as well as to increase the natural ventilation area in Buildings 2 and 3, and install ventilation skylights over the dryer. 2019 artículo científico 1657-0308 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=125162706010 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1251/125162706010/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1251/125162706010/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1251/125162706010/125162706010.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1251/125162706010/movil 10.14718/RevArq.2019.21.2.2597 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1251 Revista de Arquitectura (Bogotá) application/pdf Universidad Católica de Colombia Revista de Arquitectura (Bogotá) (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.21
