The study of meaning and environmental perception involves two aspects included in this job: One is an objective or physical component, and the second one is a subjective component. The first one was indicated by features of the physical context, which affect the meaning attributed to it, and the second, one by a set of internal representations about the environment including the emotions produced experienced by people. An evaluation was conducted considering the above-mentioned components. The first one was evaluated using tools that assessed the housing thermal conditions, and the second one through an instrument adapted and validated for this study with the purpose of assessing aspects related to psychological well-being. The main finding we mention that the obtained models showed that the thermal environment inside the housing affects the psychological well-being of people only in the summer season as a negative and significant relationship between the two factors is observed and not this relationship is presented significant in the model developed for the winter. El objetivo del presente estudio fue conocer el efecto que tiene el ambiente térmico de las viviendas de interés social en el bienestar psicológico de sus residentes durante dos estaciones del año (verano e invierno), a partir de desarrollar y probar dos modelos de ecuaciones estructurales. El estudio se llevó a cabo en la ciudad de Hermosillo, Sonora, México, la cual tiene como característica su tipo de clima: muy árido, cálido o semidesértico. El estudio de la percepción ambiental involucra claramente dos aspectos abordados en este trabajo: un componente objetivo o físico y un componente subjetivo. El primero representado por las características del entorno físico, las cuales inciden en el significado que a él se le atribuyen, y el segundo, por un conjunto de representaciones internas que el sujeto hace de su entorno. Se realizó esta evaluación considerando el componente físico mediante la utilización de instrumentos para calcular las condiciones térmicas de las viviendas y el segundo, mediante la escala de bienestar psicológico asociado a la vivienda, instrumento adaptado y validado para este trabajo. Como principal hallazgo podemos mencionar que los modelos obtenidos mostraron que el ambiente térmico al interior de la vivienda afectó el bienestar psicológico de las personas sólo en la temporada de verano, ya que se observó una relación negativa y significativa entre ambos factores y no se presentó esta relación significativa en el modelo desarrollado para el invierno.
