Comportamiento higrotérmico de las edificaciones de adobe en el sector el Tambo Loja-Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: The construction industry is responsible for the emission of 23% to 40% of greenhouse gases. The proposal examines the improved adobe, and analyzes the impact of the addition of cane fibers and pine needles through laboratory breakage tests on the material at 5%, 10% and 15%, also a simulation approach will be adopted in Archicad With the Ecodesigner complement which calculates the carbon emission and annual energy consumption, the simulation represents a building in the Tambo sector using common adobe and fiber-enhanced adobe as materials, where the energy efficiency of both specimens will be compared. to determine the feasibility of its implementation as a solution to the reduction and CO2 emissions. The study allowed obtaining the necessary data to verify that the use of fiber-enhanced adobe generated better results of compressive strengthand energy efficiency in relation to local regulations and standards obtained from the literature.
