Abstract
This
paper presents some results of the research project "Domestic
Violence and Architectural Space", sponsored by several Mexican
Governmental Offices and Citizen Organizations. One of the purposes of
this project was to find the probable correlation between several physical
characteristics of houses and violent behaviour of their inhabitants. In
this paper we report the results of the indoor climate exclusively. These
results confirm the findings of Givoni and others (2002, 2003, 2004) about
the impact of the indoor climate of naturally ventilated buildings on
adverse human behaviour.
Key words: natural
ventilation, adverse human behaviour, social study, thermal performance.
