Energy characterization of buildings in polar climate: Case study of Gabriel de Castilla Antarctic station
Rodriguez-Soria, Beatriz ; García-García, Miguel Ángel ; Rezeau, Adeline
Resumen: In this paper, we present the energy characterization of two habitable modules at the Spanish station “Gabriel de Castilla”, located on Deception Island, Antarctica. The analysis includes profiles of energy consumption for space heating and domestic hot water, as well as indoor air conditions, which were all recorded during one month of Antarctic summer. Additionally, the measurement of walls’ transmittance and air infiltrations, together with thermography analysis, enabled evaluating the conservation state of the buildings’ envelope. Upon analyzing all this data, it is evident that there is potential to enhance the design of future modules, improving the thermal comfort while significantly reducing the energy consumption. This will contribute to decrease the logistics and environmental impacts of these research stations, crucial considerations in human activity on the Antarctic continent.
