Evaluación de la viabilidad económica en la implementación de alternativas y estratégias sostenibles para el funcionaminento de las viviendas de un conjunto residencial, caso de estudio “conjunto nueva esperanza II”.

Abstract

This project presents a sustainable alternative for the Nueva Esperanza II residential complex in Villavicencio, through the implementation of photovoltaic solar panels and systems for rainwater harvesting and greywater reuse. The research begins with an analysis of the climatic, social, and economic context of the area, aiming to design practical and affordable solutions for households while promoting the efficient use of natural resources. Solar energy, supported by the region’s high solar radiation, emerges as a viable option to meet the average household’s electricity needs. In addition to significantly reducing electricity bills, the installation of panels may even generate a small energy surplus, which opens the door to potential income through sales to the national grid. This improves the system's overall profitability and makes long-term investment more appealing. On the other hand, simple and low-cost water management solutions are proposed, such as rainwater collection from rooftops and basic treatment of greywater from washing machines. These practices can greatly reduce potable water use, especially for activities like floor cleaning, garden irrigation, and toilet flushing. The result is a notable decrease in monthly water bills, alongside a more conscious and responsible use of water.
