Implementación de un techo verde para la reducción de temperatura al interior de una vivienda en el municipio de Villavicencio, Meta

Abstract

The rapid urban growth has caused the loss of vegetation cover in the urban area, in addition to the variations in the climate, they have generated an increase in the temperature in the environment and inside the buildings, causing an increase in the use of appliances electrical ventilation. This in turn becomes a vicious circle, because on the one hand, it generates thermal comfort by reducing the increase in temperature inside the houses, but on the other, it contributes to the generation of CO2, which is a gas that contribute to global warming and also cause alterations in people's health such as bronchial asthma, bronchitis and allergic diseases (Romero Placeres, Diego Olite and Álvarez Toste, 2006). Therefore, the implementation of a green roof for 3 months in a bedroom of a house in the Pinilla neighborhood in the municipality of Villavicencio, Meta was proposed as an alternative to reduce the temperature inside bedroom 1 (with roof) VS bedroom 2 (Homeless) taking into account 3 variables which are Ambient Temperature, Surface Temperature and Relative Humidity as well as the determination of thermal sensation, later the behavior in both scenarios will be analyzed, additionally they were statistically processed through an exploratory analysis, compliance with assumptions of normality and homoscedasticity, application of non-parametric analysis such as the Mann-Whitney U test and ANOVA, during the process of the results it is detailed that in this case the temperature reduction was not so significant despite having reused elements used with a specific vegetation cover there was no significant change, which is It includes and it is inferred that in order to have a more efficient process, the entire house should be considered and not sectioned in order to guarantee comfort and avoid thermal stress in addition to contributing to the environment.
