Indoor natural ventilation for hygrothermal comfort in a tropical climate at dar es salaam Tanzania

Abstract

When we talk about bioclimatic architecture in eco-tourism, we are mainly interested in the economic and ecological contributions of an architecture that takes into consideration all socio-cultural aspects ..., aesthetics and technologies. Natural indoor ventilation to ensure hygrothermal comfort is one of the strategies adopted in the 21st century in sustainable architecture. Dar Es salaam located in Tanzania is a region with a tropical climate which is characterized by high humidity and sun at a scorching altitude. This region has many natural and tourist assets (the highest mountains, the widest lake, and another the deepest in Africa ..., and also a rich and specific multicultural architecture. In response to this observation, this research deals with the problem of natural interior ventilation as an ecotourism strategy, and this by treating hygrothermal comfort in consumption-based hotel buildings promoting efficient management of natural resources and socio-economic development
