Based on the impact of climate changes, our concern arises in this scenario and the entire building is exposed to different climatic agents such as the rain itself, which can negatively impact the overall performance of the construction. Waterproofing is an essential requirement for buildings for residential, commercial and industrial use. Aspects such as the geometry and the materials with which the structural roof systems (slabs) were obtained play a fundamental role when choosing the most effective waterproofing system to incorporate into the building. Therefore, our main approach is to list the various waterproofing systems most used today for the protection of housing roofs since a knowledge of these systems will trigger a correct procedure, control and care in waterproofing, which results in a conservation of the building.
The present work consisted of a study of Solar Tiles as elements to transform and take advantage of solar energy and in this way reduce the use of energy from polluting sources. The study focuses on sustainability in relevant aspects such as thermal comfort, since most of the energy consumed in buildings is used for thermal conditioning. To carry out the present study, the NOM-020-ENER-2011 was used to analyze and limit the thermal gains of the building. An architectural survey of the building to be analyzed was carried out, subsequently, the methodology shown in the Mexican standard was applied and it was found that it complies with the percentage of energy limited by the Mexican standard. And as an alternative to reduce energy consumption, the solar tile was implemented. A benefit was obtained from clean energy, reducing the consumption of fossil energy by up to 67.60% in daily consumption. Finally, this study showed the importance of using renewable energy sources.
The objective of this study was to develop a prototype of a non-structural solid block incorporating Styrofoam recycling, which would comply with the requirements of the MNX-C-441-ONNCCE-2013 standard, for which two prototypes of blocks, which were sent to a certified laboratory for compression testing. Taking into account that for this subject in question a survey was implemented, which only had a sample in the place where the blocks were made, this helped to have a game to be able to develop the proportions that would be used in the blocks, and thus have responses favorable or close to the norm. The concrete block prototype, by containing a light aggregate, will obtain this characteristic, with the possibility that its handling and hauling is carried out with greater agility, which may be available to the general public.
This work describes a methodology to evaluate the lighting conditions present in a building (that is, from a theoretical and experimental perspective), as well as proposals for materials used in construction from a sustainable vision with the incorporation of screw caps and Styrofoam. On the other hand, a prototype proposal for a sewage sanitation module is presented as well as a waterproofing based on cactus mucilage is established from a vernacular perspective with the aim of protecting the roofs of houses. This seeks to achieve an improvement from a sustainable perspective in terms of lighting, the use of sustainable materials focused on construction and the reuse of sewage in architectural projects based on a treatment system proposal.
The present research aims to report the design and construction of non-structural concrete blocks incorporating caps from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles as a replacement material for granzón, since these caps can be incorporated if they are crushed or crushed into particles. smaller (approximately 1 cm), which will improve the block, giving it a different texture. Thanks to the properties of plastic, this alternative block may be lighter than the traditional block, considering it as a non-structural block, which can be implemented as dividing walls in the various constructions within the field of architecture. Given that it has a wide variety of applications, this would lead to reducing its production costs. On the other hand, it is very important to characterize the block and for this it is necessary to carry out thermal, acoustic and resistance tests. Regarding the latter, the compressive strength of the ecological block is one of the most important goals of the prototype since it must abide by the regulations stipulated by the MNX-C-441-ONNCCE-2013. In addition, plastic generates good thermal insulation, and its degradation time is estimated between 200 and 300 years, which guarantees a highly durable home over time.
