Del edificio al área urbana: Análisis multiescalar de la demanda de energía residencial y su impacto económico-ambiental

Abstract

El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo comparar los efectos de la demanda de energía del sector residencial en diferentes escalas de intervención, a partir de la construcción de indicadores morfológicos-constructivos, energéticos y económico-ambientales. La metodología se desarrolla a partir de: la detección de edificios y sectores urbanos representativos de la ciudad de La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina; la realización de simulaciones térmicas de edificios; y el cálculo de indicadores que luego son extrapolados a la ciudad a partir de sistemas de información geográfica. Los resultados demuestran que los impactos de las condiciones energéticas, económicas y ambientales de las viviendas son diferentes y sustantivos en la escala barrial y urbana y así deben ser considerados para lograr mayor efecto sobre la mejora de la calidad edilicia de las ciudades. The purpose of this work is to compare the effects of the energy demand of the residential sector at different scales of intervention, based on the construction As Engenharias e seu Papel no Desenvolvimento Autossustentado 2 Capítulo 6 69of morphological-constructive, energetic and economic-environmental indicators. The methodology is developed from: the detection of buildings and urban sectors representative of the city of La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina; the realization of thermal simulations of buildings; and the calculation of indicators that are then extrapolated to the city from geographic information systems. The results show that the impacts of the energetic, economic and environmental conditions of the houses are different and substantive in the neighborhood and urban scale and thus should be considered to achieve greater effect on the improvement of the building quality of cities.
