Sustainable housing with endogenous resources

In Ecuador, typical homes in rural areas are built with indigenous resources such as guadua cane (Bamboo). Currently, alternatives are being sought that improve the quality of life of the people who live in these houses. The objective of the research is to propose energy alternatives that do not affect the environment and that enhance the sustainability of the territories. Bamboo constructions have increased in the country as have isolated photovoltaic systems for electrification, the combination of them improves living conditions, benefiting many families who are employed in the production and construction of these homes. The result was guadua cane homes that use photovoltaic systems as a source of energy, combining endogenous resources efficiently.
