microalgas, fotobiorreactor, arquitectura sostenible, diseño de fachadas, análisis bibliométrico, biomasa, producción de energíaResumen
Las microalgas son microorganismos con un gran potencial para su aplicación en tecnologías medioambientales sustentables por su capacidad de fotosintetizar, producir biomasa, absorber dióxido de carbono y tratar aguas residuales. Estas propiedades versátiles permiten integrar las microalgas en los sistemas arquitectónicos de fachadas. Los fotobiorreactores que pueden integrarse en la fachada cumplen funciones como la generación de energía, la mejora de la calidad del aire, el sombreado y el tratamiento de aguas residuales. En este contexto, aunque existen muchos estudios bibliométricos en la literatura sobre el uso de microalgas en los campos medioambiental e industrial, no hay ningún estudio bibliométrico exhaustivo que se centre en el uso de microalgas en diseños de fachadas arquitectónicas. Este estudio pretende revelar sistemáticamente las tendencias de la investigación en este campo examinando la bibliografía sobre el uso de microalgas en fachadas de edificios y sistemas de revestimiento mediante un análisis bibliométrico. Según los resultados de la investigación, la literatura científica sobre el uso de microalgas en fachadas de edificios ha aumentado rápidamente en los últimos años con colaboraciones interdisciplinarias y se centra en los temas de sustentabilidad, eficiencia energética e interacción biológica. Los estudios publicados entre 2012 y 2024, liderados por países como Alemania, Estados Unidos, China y Países Bajos, se configuran en torno a palabras clave como microalgas, biorreactor, fachada verde, y biointegración, centrados en la eficiencia energética, la sustentabilidad y la biotecnología de la construcción. Como resultado, esta investigación hace visible la posición actual de las tecnologías de microalgas y ofrece recomendaciones estratégicas para orientar futuros trabajos académicos.
