Propuesta de disminución de huella de carbono para construcciones basadas en el edificio de Ciencias Básicas de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato

Abstract

Carbon dioxide is one of the most relevant greenhouse gases for the preservative of habitable temperatures in the atmosphere, however pollution has exceeded its levels of threatening life on the planet. The construction industry contributes greatly to CO2 emissions, which is why we seek to reduce these effects, based on the Basic Science building for which we started with the data collection phase where we obtained the construction items of the building with their respective units and quantities, after that the emission factors were surveyed according to the materials used in the work through different inventories, mainly Carbon and Energy Inventory (ICE), the activities were broken down into its raw material for a more detailed study that helps us to the proposal of decrease, after that the building is modeled to verify compliance with the dynamic and static analysis, with all these data collected, the total pollution of the building expressed in tons of carbon dioxide Once these data were collected and understanding the current situation of our study structure, it was created to conceive an alternative of reduction through the exchange of materials corresponding to non-structural items with high contamination by others that were more friendly to the environment. A reduction of the carbon footprint corresponding to 8.50 percent was obtained in our proposal, fulfilling our objective and guaranteeing compliance with the structural analysis.
