We provide reliable, recent and verifiable information on the topics analyzed and their implications with the design. There are general guidelines to generate alternative solutions for constructions in the short, medium and long term. Geodesign promotes a comprehensive, multidisciplinary and participatory regional and urban planning at the scale of neighborhood and city that takes into account the environmental balance and integral human development in the framework of climate change. It is also proposed to implement Bioclimatic Design based on the rational analysis of the specific climatic conditions of a place and the comfort requirements of its inhabitants to develop their activities in a sustainable, healthy, comfortable and safe way, consuming the minimum possible energy and resources.

This situation results in the fact that economically disadvantaged people cannot have access to comfortable and energy efficient environments. This problem becomes worse in the northern regions of the country, which require air conditioning, because of the dry warm climate, for several months of the year. A proposal of a technical standard about bioclimatic buildings for warm-dry climates is presented in this paper. Also, the process for its development is described. This involves monitoring and analysis of typical dwellings in Hermosillo city in northwest México, a hot-dry climate location. The proposed regulation aims to reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry and energy use in buildings, by incorporating mandatory, optional and incentivized requirements to improve energy efficiency and the b...
