CONSTRUCCIÓN HABITACIONAL SOSTENIBLE EN EL CANTÓN DAULE URBANIZACIÓN PORTÓN DEL RÍO, CON CERTIFICACIÓN EDGE

Abstract

Sustainable constructions have a special respect and a significant commitment to the environment, they include processes that benefit it, summarized in three steps: considerable savings in energy consumption, water savings, and the reuse of materials used in construction. This project will seek to obtain EDGE certification, in order to develop a project in which a series of steps are involved that will help save energy, water and material consumption, being of the utmost importance at present, since it will benefit not only to the environment, but the builders, demonstrating that this type of construction is not so expensive, thus making it sustainable. Through the implementation of the BIM methodology, a tool that helps in the creation and planning of a project in a collaborative way, applying a variety of steps until its execution, and taking into account that in Ecuador this methodology is not yet implemented in the public sector, and that at a private level its use is scarce or little known, is the reason why this project seeks to be pioneers through its implementation in the Daule sector, where the apartment housing project will be executed, looking for it to generate the application of the same in a positive way in future projects.
