Abstract
Global warming and climate change are inevitable issues. In Santo Domingo, average temperatures have increased and escalated to year round uncomfortably hot and humid conditions in just the last twenty years. Regardless, the current design and construction concepts have not adapted to this phenomena yet. The construction is oriented almost solely around concrete and its derived components despite its poor thermal performance in the hot humid climate. Although this happens in big part due to availability and low labor costs, the strongest reason is cultural; people see the concrete as a symbol of safety and progress. In view of this, the following research intends to contribute a first step into a possible guideline to thermal comfort in Santo Domingo by understanding the climate and materials response to it. Ultimately, the project is meant to challenge the current design paradigm of what the dwelling building in the region is and what should it be.
