Advantages of Green Façade Application in Buildings from Lima

Sustainable Built Environments Senior Capstone ProjectThe study demonstrates green architecture gets vital importance in metropolises worldwide. However, many architects and entrepreneurs in real estate are unconscious, applying negative issues against the three pillars of sustainability. Nowadays, global warming provides many concerns about the impacts of the built environment on the world. Green architecture seeks to reduce pollution and improve aesthetics because bioclimatic behavior adjustments have generally influenced the building. One potential solution is green facades, which play a central role in environmental conservation due to their high impact on the use of trees in the building. Architects can apply these measures to create a healthy living environment and promote a commitment to the environment and social sustainability in buildings. In this Capstone, I examine the relationship between perceived levels of environmental comfort and satisfaction through comfort ratings. The research shows positive attributes of green facades over the years. It is environmentally and socially beneficial, and many resources are highly economical. By discussing these results, the research can educate the architects and inhabitants of Lima, especially throughout Perú, concluding that it is possible to obtain green architecture in our country.This item is part of the Sustainable Built Environments collection.
