###### Abstract
do not always have a direct impact on the health of the user [17], it is usually understood that optimum comfort conditions in buildings do have direct consequences on human health [18, 19, 20]. For this reason, in this article, the monitoring strategy [21, 22, 23] used in the prototype is considered a fundamental part of the project and aimed at collecting data on the indicators that, traditionally, scientifically constitutes the comfort parameters [24, 25]: temperature, humidity, and lighting [26]. Because these data are considered indicative needed to assess the environmental quality of the prototype [27, 28, 29] and to indicate where to direct efforts in future versions it improved in subsequent investigations [30, 31]. Therefore, considering a space-temporal context, this article belongs to the Solar Decathlon edition that was held in Santiago de Cali (Colombia) in December 2015, in which many Latin American and European universities participated, in addition to the local ones (Table 1). The Solar City is open to the teams 10 days before the start of the competition, so the prototypes have to be assembled during this period, and is undoubtedly one of the challenges of the competition [32]. Each team will have to design the construction process of its prototype, so that it can be assembled in the estimated time, we are talking about prefabricated architecture (Figure 1). \begin{table}

Table 1: Teams participating in first Solar Decathlon in Latin America. In this edition, the first one held in Latin America, the objective was to propose a social housing model that would be the result of a previous urban project with a high building density. As indicated above, all the prototypes submitted to the competition and built at a 1:1 scale in the Solar City were evaluated based on 10 tests (Table 2). As it can be seen, some were evaluated by a jury of experts in the field and others, from data obtained from monitoring environmental and energy conditions: temperature, background noise level, illuminance, electricity, water consumption, etc. The team led by the University of Seville, which presented the AURA 1.0 prototype, was the winner of the \"Comfort Conditions\" test [33]. The main purpose of this article is, therefore, to explain what conditioning strategies were implemented in this prototype, attempting to overcome the atmospheric conditions typical of the tropical climate that prevails in Santiago de Cali in December, in order to achieve optimum interior comfort conditions, taking into account the parameters that influence the health of the inhabitant of the dwelling. The research focuses specifically on the Latin American context, in which the special geo-social conditions cause the criteria of passive solar architecture and use of \"natural\" resources to be more important, due to the high rates of energy poverty present in most of these countries.
