Calidad y sostenibilidad de la edificación para el mercado mayorista de la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract:Currently, there are old buildings that denote obsolescence with the naked eye, given the low quality of construction in previous decades. The lack of culture also causes a poor state of conservation, and according to Spanish standards, they give time for improvements to the existing residential park, especially the one built between 1940 and 1980. The existing buildings have been designed according to the security requirements of the decade that were built, today these requirements are higher, which forces to improve the current state of buildings. The application of a Building Evaluation Report (IEE) allows to know the current state of the building, so that its owner knows problems presented due to lack of maintenance and age, revealing existing injuries and deterioration. In the Wholesale Market of the city of Loja, after completing 40 years of building, through a visual inspection, a Building Evaluation Report is prepared to recognize its obsolescence and the possibilities of improving the quality and sustainability of the building through Development of a Maintenance and Rehabilitation Plan.
