Abstract
Introduction. One of the causes that has gained strength today because it generates on people's quality of life, is noise pollution; The same that is present in all daily activities, such as: study, work, home, theaters, restaurants, streets, parks, among others. The sense of hearing, like that of sight, represents a fundamental connection to be informed of events in the environment, since it is on permanent alert even when we sleep. Acoustic comfort is a subjective sensation of well-being, typical of each person and depends on several factors, such as: the activity that is conducted at a certain time, as well as the existing sound environment in the place. On the other hand, the sensation of acoustic discomfort occurs when a sound environment is not suitable for the activity of the occupants, this, in addition to generating organic discomfort, can produce intellectual discomfort and, consequently, emotional alteration. Objective. This study focuses on the impact of the application of dynamic envelopes in the building of the Academic Unit of Engineering, Industry and Construction of the Catholic University of Cuenca. Methodology. With the methodology used, it is intended to innovate architectural design, through the analysis, simulation, and use of environmentally friendly materials, through the development of three-dimensional dynamic envelopes that merge with the façade and together improve comfort conditions. acoustics inside buildings. Results. Obtain a digital prototype of a dynamic envelope on facades to reduce the environmental noise generated by vehicular traffic on Avenida de las Américas. Conclusion. The prototypes of dynamic envelopes constitute a contribution to educational buildings, reducing traffic noise by 28% with panels of recycled material that we can find in our city.
