Sustainable buildings for Mexico city Abstract The proposal aims to

Sustainable buildings for Mexico city
Abstract
The proposal aims to identify the state of technology in materials for coating
houses and energy equipment in order to promote the application of the
principles of sustainable construction in new building projects in Mexico City
The project will define viable green building practices applicable to new
construction projects in Mexico City. They developed the art of green building
technologies, ie energy efficient materials in the building coating and energy
equipment (lamps, air conditioning and heating) that represent a great
opportunity to reduce emissions for greenhouse gases from the energy
consumption of buildings.
The main results of the project will identify technologies in construction materials
and equipment bound energy, and the proposal of sustainable construction
principles applicable to new construction projects in Mexico City.
The main actions to be undertaken in the research will focus on establishing
green building codes and their impact on reducing emissions of greenhouse
gases, specifying in the vicinity of Mexico City, identify energy efficiency
technologies in materials construction of roof slabs and exterior walls, as well as
energy-efficient windows, and set energy efficiency of buildings energy
equipment such as lighting, air conditioning and heating.

2 Envolvente de un edificio: se compone por el techo, los muros exteriores, las
ventanas y los pisos que funcionan como una barrera térmica y tienen un papel
determinante en la cantidad de energía necesaria para mantener un ambiente
confortable en el interior de la edificación.
