Resumen

Ventilation cooling is one of the strategies consciously or unconsciously employed in the island tourism sector. The climatic reality, with summers with more heat waves from the Sahara, presents a scenario where these passive capacities are questioned and undergo drastic changes.The hotel models of environmental conditioning of the hotel plant used to date are unlikely to work in the medium term. We will use a sub-clockwise study of climate data from 50 years ago and a 25-year forward estimate based on a climate change model. A case study research methodology will be employed, particularized in (the document) the tourist accommodations of the south of Tenerife.The objective of the document is to conclude a prediction within a specific climate change scenario that quantifies and allows to evaluate the impacts on energy, comfort and economic units in the currently built hotels.Likewise, these data will allow the adaptation of the strategic design of the hotel plant of the future that today is planned to adapt to a scenario in 25 or 50 years.
