The present research develops a new constructive ceramic product with thermo-insulating principles, integrating characteristics in the internal and external shape of the piece that seek to mitigate the thermal transmittance of the envelope system passively, the design assumes a model that uses the thickness dimension to generate thermal resistance in the prototype, likewise, it creates internal partitions with dissipative geometries that avoid direct thermal bridges and generates a function of ventilated chambers in the first layer of the piece to contain and dissipate the energy. In order to study its thermal efficiency, a dynamic method is implemented in simulations of temperature distribution and heat flow under hot tropical climate conditions, determining temperature profiles between the initial and final surface of the sample. This design process allows generating a model for a thermo-efficient ceramic facade that reduces the energy transferred through the architectural masonry by 7°C on average.
