Diseño de cubierta metálica sostenible para uso deportivo en la urbanización Villa España Etapa Mallorca

Abstract

Nowadays, sustainability is an essential pillar in civil construction. This degree project proposes the Design of a Sustainable Metal Roof for the Sports Courts of the Villa España Etapa Mallorca Urbanization, which prioritizes technical standards, structural and energetic functionality. It is considered that metal roofs are essential components for energy efficiency as well as for the durability of buildings, particularly in urban areas with high solar exposure and thermal comfort requirements. The main objective was to develop the design of the sustainable metal roof through the use of current regulations, providing maximum solar protection, while minimizing energy consumption, this through the implementation of solar panels, thus contributing to the welfare of residents in addition to the sustainability of the infrastructure that will be intended to provide an efficient, functional and environmentally responsible solution in seismic-resistant infrastructure projects. The methodology used combined structural modeling in the specialized software Etabs, where design criteria were applied according to local and international standards, responding adequately to the seismic requirements of the local context, ensuring stability, stiffness and structural safety without compromising sustainability. The results showed that the selected alternative meets the seismic-resistant design criteria, improves thermal performance and reduces the carbon footprint compared to traditional solutions. The incorporation of solar panels as well as the efficient modulation of structural elements contributed to a technically feasible and efficient solution. In conclusion, the proposed design not only satisfies the required structural requirements, but also proves to be a sustainable alternative, replicable and adjustable to different construction scales, representing a significant contribution to the advancement of more environmentally conscious infrastructures.
