Environmental assessment model for housing with sustainable materials in Joa site - Jipijapa, Ecuador
Abstract
This paper presents an environmental assessment model for housing construction with sustainable materials in the Joa site, located in Jipijapa, Ecuador. The study aims to develop an evaluation system that considers the environmental impacts of the materials used, promoting sustainability in local construction. A methodology based on key sustainability indicators was employed, including energy consumption, carbon emissions, material recyclability, and waste generation. The results show that the implementation of this model can reduce the environmental impact of construction, encourage the use of local resources, and improve residents' quality of life. In conclusion, the application of this model is recommended for future social housing projects in the region to strengthen sustainable construction practices.
