The heat transfer of buildings contributes directly to the consumption of electricity, because the most common
alternative to reduce the internal temperature has been the disproportionate use of conventional air conditioning
systems. The bioclimatic architecture is an alternative of a still limited application. However, nowadays, several
investigations indicate a significant correlation between heat gain and internal thermal comfort perceived in built
spaces. This proposal reviews the techniques studied and used to reduce the thermal load coming from outside
and generated inside buildings located in a warm weather zone in Mexico. These cases are intended to show
the current status of this research topic, as well as identify areas of opportunity relevant to the analysis and its
implementation especially in coastal areas. Critical factors to explore include the influence of relative humidity
on the thermal sensation, as well as warm geographical and climatic conditions, which can be humid tropical or
arid and dry
