Grados-Día en Arquitectura

abstract
An approximation to the study of climate and the definition of bioclimatic requirements is the concept
of Degree-Days. This parameter relates temperature with comfort or acclimatization limits.
Degree-Days have been seldomly used in Mexico´s architectural field, therefore the main objective of this document
is to present them in an accessible form to appreciate its advantages and promote its use.
