Abstract

Urban sprawl increased in a disorderly and unplanned manner in Guayaquil, creating urbanizations on rural lands in neighboring cantons, reducing agricultural use spaces. The satellite parish “La Aurora” located in Daule has become one of the “Dormitory” cities of greater Guayaquil, with 57 private urbanizations. The proposal for an environmental certification design of sustainable buildings made through the study of existing certifications and the analysis of diffuse decision maps with neutral TOPSIS methods. The indicators for mitigating environmental pollution include the use of materials with low CO2 content and clean energy. The results show that the tool allows prioritizing the construction processes and selecting the best alternative in ecological indicators with respect to environmental impact. The certification will be a guide for designers, promoters and builders, who want to incorporate an ecological plus to their projects.
