| Descripció: | Research for recommendations and constructive solutions applied to office spaces that represent the least impact on the natural environment and that promote and encourage for the use of daylight as the primary source of lighting. Through the descriptive methodology, the most relevant issues on sustainability in the construction of office spaces were raised from a systemic and interdisciplinary approach. The main energy consumption patterns of the offices in Costa Rica were examined to support the importance of energy saving and variables that impact sustainability such as construction materials, recycling practices and reuse of materials and the search for passive strategies were analyzed to the use of daylight. Hypothesis were formulated in the search for more energy-efficient and sustainable workspaces, which through the technique of data collection and bibliographic search, came to pose the most relevant on the subject of study. This research concluded on the need to search for a model system of strategies that would allow the use of all light energy in the internal space of the offices in Costa Rica, to generate more comfortable and visually pleasing environments, encouraging energy savings and eliminating in some periods of the day, the dependence on the use of artificial lighting; likewise, it was concerned with the search for less polluting construction materials and the generation of passive strategies for these spaces. |
