Water and energy engineering for sustainable buildings: mihouse project

Abstract

Mihouse project is the result of an interinstitutional and interdisciplinary work developed by professors and students from the faculties of engineering, economic sciences and social communication of the Universidad Autónoma de Occidente (UAO) and architecture at the Universidad de San Buenaventura (USB) both located in Cali, Colombia. Within the framework of this project, students from the UAO Renewable Energy and lntegrated Water Resource Management research groups participated in this project, both in charge of the UAO professors. As a result of this project, two publications have been developed; the first one focused on ustainable architecture and bioclimatic architecture (Villalobos et al., 2018) and the second one focused on water and energy engineering for sustainable buildings (i.e. this document).
