Universidad Nacional Experimental del Táchira
Sustainable Architecture, combines two terms that in recent centuries have
become contradictory but they are still the foundation of our society and
therefore converge absolutely necessary.
The architecture is aimed at modifying the environment, creating new spaces
that are adequate to our needs protecting us from the more or less hostile
conditions of Nature. Therefore, the architecture (as a synthesis of everything
built) is the basis of our past and our future without which human society is
conceivable however that this could be ecological.

Sustainable Criteria
The sustainable building has different criteria, including
taking into account: the construction, conservation and water
efficiency, daylighting, energy conservation, natural cooling systems,
which are presented below:

Sustainable Criteria
Construction
2. The new materials.
• 50% of the new materials were produced
within 500 miles of Pittsburgh.
•Almost 10% of new building materials are
manufactured with recycled compounds.
1. The environment is considered .
As the original center was shot
down over 95% of demolition waste was
recycled by crushing and filling material
useful for this new building.

•An aquifer located 50 meters below the center, provides makeup water to the cooling
system, reducing water demand of the water system of the city.
•The energy per pulse of cooling tower water is used to treat bacterial elimination without
chemicals.
•This design element saves 1.8 million gallons of water per year.
•The convention center recycled water
used for washing and flushing urinal.
•The water is conditioned by aerobic
digestion and sub-micron filtration system.
Water Conservation and Efficiency Sustainable Criteria

•These characteristics have shown a 66%
reduction in water purchased.
•The landscaping is indigenous DLCC
southwestern Pennsylvania, which eliminates
the need for irrigation entirely dependent on
natural rainfall.
Water Conservation and Efficiency
•The system recycles 50 percent of the
center's water and saves an estimated 6.4
million gallons per year.
•Water conservation is extremely important in
the DLCC. An in-water reclamation facility site
recycles waste water from sinks, fountains
and faucets for use in toilets.
