Mejora de las condiciones de habitabilidad y del cambio climático a partir de ecotechos extensivos: Estudio de caso barrio La Isla, Altos de Cazucá, Soacha, Cundinamarca

Climate change generated by the expansion of the urban area affects the temperature rise by the thermal properties of the materials of construction. The shortage of green areas (which increases impervious surfaces) causes climatic imbalances that diminish quality within the housing. In this sense, this paper aims to estimate and compare the thermal attenuation and CO2 capture in priority interest housing located in Altos de Cazucá, who used eco ceilings as vegetable crops. The experimental design required technological developments such as an irrigation system that optimizes the rushing water and separate containers for the substrate and plants. Crops are divided into: 1) lettuce and radish, 2) green onions, coriander and lettuce, and 3) Spinach and parsley. Control housing without eco ceiling was also studied. Then, thermal variables were quantified within the housing and carbon sequestration. The results are a thermal attenuation of the roof (4 ° C) and atmosphere (3 ° C), increasing the relative humidity of 10% and a total of 16.1 kg CO2 captured, 38.6 kg and 8, 3 kg annually.
