Comfort for Users of the Educational Center Applying Sustainable Design Strategies, Carabayllo-Peru-2023

The educational problems in the area, economic disparities, conflict situations, and deficiencies in educational infrastructure directly affect the quality and accessibility of education. Therefore, the present research aims to generate comfort for users of the educational center by applying sustainable design strategies in Carabayllo, Peru. The study started with a literature review, an analysis of flora and fauna, passive design strategies, and climatic analysis applying sustainability strategies supported by digital tools (AutoCAD, Revit Collaborate, Climate Consultant, OpenStreetMap, JOSM, Rhinoceros, and Grasshopper). As a result, the design proposes an educational center that ensures year-round comfort through energy efficiency, the use of eco-friendly materials, and green roofs. Additionally, it includes the implementation of dry toilets, biofilters, and xerophytic vegetation for orchards, promoting food production and enhancing the treatment of nearby public spaces. In conclusion, this proposal enhances the quality of life for users by applying passive design strategies and sustainability principles, adopting clean energy sources, and efficiently managing waste, thereby contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
