Rediseño de vivienda social “MIDUVI” bajo el estándar powerhouse con la técnica constructiva quincha a través de herramientas BIM en la ciudad de Guayaquil

Abstract

This is presents the redesign of MIDUVI’s social housing located in the city of Guayaquil under the Powerhouse energy standard, which seeks to take into account the high energy consumption in this area, prioritize the use of environmentally friendly or low energy containing materials, and implement solar panels that offset energy consumption and produce a surplus which, in addition to recovering the energy contained in the construction process, manages to supply the electrical consumption of household appliances, hot water generation, and their lighting of house. For this, the EcoDesigner tool is used, which provides a detailed report about the housing’s consumption of energy and temperatures reached in each area, considering its surroundings and uses of mechanical systems. The construction techniques used for this redesign are the quincha (bahareque), along with incorporating strategic designs to cool its interior such as: extensive eaves to cause shadows, double air chamber on the roof, air chamber on the floor, housing raised the ground, ventilated facades, windows strategically placed to take advantage of air currents, and implementing the air conditioning. It was determined that the internal temperature levels during inhabited hours comply with the comfort range (18°C - 25°C) and the energy contained in housing units can be recovered in approximately 20 years, concluding that the house complies with the Powerhouse energy standard since it generates more energy than what was consumed during its operation and existence.
