Se concluyó que la metodología ISO/TS 14067:2013 Carbon Footprint of products-Requirements and guidelines for quantification and communication es la que mejor se adapta al contexto nacional, y se ajusta para su utilización en procesos constructivos en el país. Usando esta adaptación se diseñó una hoja de cálculo para medir la huella en edificaciones de Costa Rica, que se ha llamado Construye Neutral, que se puede configurar para usarla en la región latinoamericana. La metodología seleccionada y la herramienta diseñada se aplicaron al caso del módulo habitacional Trópika. Este es un prototipo de vivienda diseñado y construido por estudiantes del Tecnológico de Costa Rica para participar en la competencia internacional sobre diseño y construcción sostenible, Solar Decathlon Europe 2014. Se elaboró un análisis de ciclo de vida parcial, de la cuna a la construcción, para Trópika. La hoja de cálculo preparada estimó un total de 28 ton CO2e de carbono incorporado en la vivienda de 81 m2 de construcción, o 345 kg CO2e por m2 de superficie útil. La fijación de carbono fue de 15 ton CO2e y el balance final de emisiones de 13 ton CO2e. Estos resultados fueron validados comparándolos con los obtenidos en otras herramientas como SIMAPro V.7.3.3, así como datos de la literatura.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract International methodologies for measuring carbon footprint of products have been analyzed in order to identify which is the best suited for the Costa Rican building sector. The ISO / TS 14067: 2013 Carbon Footprint of products-Requirements and guidelines for quantification and communication, have been selected and tailored to better fit conditions Costa Rica. A spreadsheet tool to calculate the carbon footprint of any building project in the local context or regionally (if tailored) was designed and called Construye Neutral. Both, the selected methodology and the tool have been applied to Trópika, a habitation module designed and built for the Solar Decathlon Europe 2014 by students of the Tecnológico de Costa Rica. A partial LCA, from cradle to construction was conducted for the Trópika house unit. The estimated embodied carbon was 28 tons CO2e for the 81 m2 house, or 345 kg CO2e per m2 of useable floor area. Carbon fixation was 15 tons of CO2e, and the final balance was 13 tons of CO2e. These results were validated by comparing them with those obtained in other tools such as SimaPro V7.3.3 as well as data in literature.]]></p></abstract>
