Resumen

Resumen

Las fachadas ventiladas son sistemas de construcción de fachadas contemporáneas, que incorporan funciones para la gestión del agua en su diseño y construcción. Sin embargo, muy a menudo estas funciones para la gestión de agua no funcionan adecuadamente en todo el sistema del recinto debido a un mal diseño de los detalles constructivos, fallas de construcción en la fachada o lagunas en la comprensión de los mecanismos de infiltración de lluvia, causando que el agua penetre en estos sistemas. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar algunas ideas sobre cómo funcionan las características de gestión del agua de las fachadas ventiladas en todo el recinto del edificio. Posteriormente, se ha probado una maqueta a escala completa en condiciones  de laboratorio. Finalmente, se ha realizado una comparación entre el análisis in situ y los resultados obtenidos en las pruebas de laboratorio, concluyendo que es posible mejorar el comportamiento de gestión del agua de las fachadas ventiladas con la acción combinada de la lluvia y las presiones del viento, si los mecanismos que pueden causar infiltración de agua son bien comprendidos

Abstract

Rear-ventilated façades are contemporary façade construction systems, which incorporate water management features into their design and construction. However, quite often these water management features do not properly work in the whole enclosure syste due to bad design of the constructive details, construction flaws in the façade or gaps in the understanding of the rain infiltration mechanisms causing water to penetrate in these systems. Consequently, the aim of his paper is to present some insights of how the water management features of rear-ventilated façades perform in the whole enclosure system of the building. Subsequently, a full-scale mock-up has been tested in laboratory conditions. Finally, a comparison between the on-site analysis and the results obtained in the laboratory tests has been made, concluding that it is possible to improve the water management performance of rear-ventilated façades to the combined action of wind-driven rain and driving rain wind pressures if the mechanisms that might cause water infiltration are well understood.
