General Objective: Analyze the impact of the transformation of the intermediate city on the demand and energy efficiency of residential construction, through a comparative analysis of various expansion sectors of the City of Cuenca Ecuador, to strengthen the theoretical basis of sustainable guidelines that reduce the environmental impact of future territorial planning.
Specific objectives:
- Characterize the urban and building morphology of the study sectors for the creation of a common database for present and future research through a digital platform.
- Assess the impact of the city transformation on solar accessibility and solar
photovoltaic potential to determine a highly energy efficient urban morphology. - Analyze the impact of the city's transformation on the energy demand of
residential buildings in their life cycle through energy calculations and simulations.
