“…The results obtained in this study show that the use of green facades in high-Andean buildings has a positive impact on the internal air temperature, reducing the thermal difference by 2,44°C compared to a building without vegetation cover. (10,11) In addition, it has been observed that vegetated roofs are an effective alternative to thermal insulation, as they help retain rainwater and reduce annual runoff volumes in areas where this can be a problem. (12) However, it is important to mention that the maintenance of green facades may be an aspect to consider, as plants require constant watering and care.…”

The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the benefits of a model for scientific research in the sense that a construction system with a vegetated enclosure could benefit the internal environment of Juliaca in winter. To do this, we used an experimental procedure to compare the thermal resistance of a fifth-scale adobe high Andean house without vegetation and a house built in the climatic zone with vegetated facades. It simultaneously records the internal surface temperature, the internal air temperature, and the external environmental conditions. The results obtained show that the use of photosystems in buildings is an effective passive technique to reduce energy consumption due to its ability to insulate and protect internal thermal conditions.
