Sumario:With the arrival of environmental phenomenon clearly indicating that our planet is undergoing global warming primarily caused by environmental pollution, the construction sector, one of the major contributors to energy consumption and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, has been under the obligation to take measures to mitigate and slow down this environmental crisis. As a result, the current construction trend revolves around sustainable architecture with designs that are efficient in terms of operational energy consumption during the lifespan of buildings or during their construction. This involves considering embodied energy, the choice of materials, and construction methods to reduce the environmental impact caused by the sector. The building envelope is the first line of defense against the climatic conditions of the surrounding environment. For this reason, it is one of the most vulnerable parts, playing a crucial role in relation to energy consumption. The proper design of the envelope directly influences interior thermal comfort. This leads to the study of the envelope of the Torre Sevilla, where the aim is to demonstrate its inefficiency in protecting the facade from solar radiation during the summer months. To counteract this effect, active design strategies are necessary to achieve the user’s well-being. The objective of this research is to propose an optimization of the building envelope with elements of solar protection to enhance the energy efficiency of the skyscrapers.
