Sumario: In the following study, the residential architectural designs of the P.H. Solana and P.H. Mystic Valley, where the provisions of its windows, ventilation and natural lighting in an apartment of each of the towers were identified. The P.H. Solana is located in front of the main road of Santa María, Panama City, while the P.H Mystic Valley is located in the Crisol, in front of La Pulida street, San Miguelito, both in the province of Panama. Thanks to the acquisition of the plans, a 360-degree tour obtained thanks to their respective web pages, an elevation of the floors and an elevation of the georeferenced 3D modeling of the apartments, the solar incidence and ventilation on the 53rd floor of the P.H. Solana and on the 12th floor of the P.H Mystic Valley. The results indicated that natural ventilation and lighting was due to the orientation, location of eaves and balconies, which made up the set of apartments, the latter (the balconies), in both cases being placed in a large part of the main facades, It turned out to be a trigger for the lack of solar incidence in areas such as the living room and the main bedroom, however they managed to create shadows, acting as protectors, mainly from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. avoiding direct sunlight. , which helped to eliminate the hot spaces that could have been generated during these hours, therefore it was possible to improve the thermal comfort inside the apartments.
