  In this study was analized the incorporation of some of the passive bioclimatic elements to the rural building for dampening the indoor temperature in the hot or cold seasons for the regions of the state of Hidalgo-Mexico that suffer from adverse weather conditions due to its geographical location. The homes in these areas are not usually planned or designed to provide a good protection against the effects of outdoor environment. The uncontrolled temperatures have a physical and psychological-effect on the people that may be reflected in a low psycho-social, labor or productive development. However, there exist elements of bioclimatic architecture that can be adapted to rural contructions to improve indoor temperatures allowing the residents to have a better growth and human development. These bioclimatic elements can represent a solution to protect people with limited economic resources from the outdoor environment minimizing the "psycho-thermal stress".
