Abstract
The purpose of this article is to discuss the local microclimate behavior in open urban fabric zones located in dry tropical weather; the case study is the city of Barranquilla, Colombia. The research proposed two computer simulation protocols for the study of shades, solar radiation, and wind. The study evidenced that the hw-1 aspect ratio, the materiality of the surfaces, and forestation in open fabric climatic zones impact microclimatic parameters variations such as solar radiation and wind. Similarly, the results show that shade ratios range between 90 % to 100 % in facades with the lowest solar radiation. In terms of natural ventilation, the study reveals that in the building roof of less than 6 meters, wind is favorable and ranges between 3.36 m/s to 6 m/s.
