Diseño y proyección de una casa unifamiliar autosustentable, implementando un biodigestor séptico y paneles solares en una quinta ubicada en el barrio “Los Limos”, parroquia El Tambo, Cantón Catamayo, provincia de Loja

Abstract

The technical project presented arises from the urgent need to address sustainability and energy efficiency in housing construction, representing a deep commitment to innovation in the application of sustainable technologies in civil design and construction. The project focuses on a property located in the "Los Limos" neighborhood, part of the El Tambo parish, in the Catamayo canton of Loja province. The detailed design and projection of this self-sustainable single-family home pose a technical challenge that requires creative solutions and a profound understanding of the interconnection between structural, hydraulic, and electrical systems. This challenge is approached through the use of advanced architectural design tools and preliminary studies that enable the creation of an optimal structural design using metal structures. The implementation of a septic biodigester and solar panels is the cornerstone of this proposal. The septic biodigester not only provides an innovative solution for sustainable waste management but also contributes to biogas generation, thereby providing a renewable energy source. Furthermore, the strategic installation of solar panels is conceived to ensure efficient capture of solar energy, ensuring the energy autonomy of the dwelling and reducing dependence on non-renewable sources. The purpose of implementing these technologies in the single-family home goes beyond demonstrating their technical and economic feasibility. The goal is to establish a replicable model of sustainable construction that can be adopted in similar rural areas, promoting responsible environmental practices and contributing to the development of more ecological communities.
