In this research work, a sustainable alternative
to the consumption of electrical energy generated by a
traditional way is proposed, which is highly polluting
worldwide, however, part of a deeper problem, since the
buildings in which it has been implemented the use of
technological systems for the autonomous generation of
clean energy "are hidden" from the eyes of man,
generally located on the terraces of buildings wasting the
great potential of their facades, since they are not
designed from the ground up. functional-aesthetic point of
view. The application of the NET ZERO ENERGY
BUILDING (NZEB) methodology is proposed, through
the use of photovoltaic systems that can be integrated in
urban environments, designed under architectural
conditions that allow them to be used as finishing or
facade material in buildings, at the same time that they
generate enough electrical energy to cover the demand of
the building, obtaining a zero energy balance "0", in this
way An overview of this concept is provided for future
interventions in similar buildings in the city. This
research, for analysis, data collection, and application
purposes is focused on a case study in a collective housing
building in Azogues, Ecuador.
