    This thesis addresses the redesign of a social interest housing (VIS) using the Bahareque construction system, within the EMUVI EP "Los Capulíes" project in Cuenca, aiming to achieve energy neutrality. This redesign is framed within the context of increasing residential energy consumption and CO2 emissions associated with traditional construction, proposing the use of vernacular techniques and photovoltaic generation as sustainable solutions. The methodology includes the evaluation of the embodied energy in materials and the photovoltaic potential of the housing, aiming to determine the time required for the housing to meet the Powerhouse standard, which involves generating more renewable energy than it consumes throughout its life cycle. The expected outcomes include the reduction of embodied energy in construction, the promotion of energy self-sufficiency, and the mitigation of environmental impact. The conclusion is that the application of traditional construction techniques and the integration of renewable energy systems can transform social housing into sustainable and energy-efficient solutions, contributing to a more environmentally friendly future.
