Facultad de Arquitectura
La Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo creada como tal en 1961, se ha convertido en referente académico en Ecuador, dentro de su área de estudio, en educación pública de alta calidad con programas de grado y posgrado. La facultad es una instancia privilegiada en el desarrollo de saberes que configuran el mundo de la arquitectura y el urbanismo, basada en un modelo de gestión proactiva y ágil con mejora continua. Su cuerpo docente es altamente calificado para liderar procesos innovadores de enseñanza-aprendizaje e investigación, en actividades de vinculación y servicio en sectores público y comunitario, con énfasis en grupos vulnerables.

    Factores que influyen en la selección de energías renovables en la ciudad
    (2019) Barragán Escandón, Edgar Antonio; Zalamea León, Esteban Felipe; Terrados, Julio; Vanegas Peralta, Pablo Fernando
    Urban energy models assume that energy is imported from outside the urban area. Forecast increases in urban population and energy use intensity will increase energy requirements. One alternative is to integrate sources of renewable energy within cities boundaries. To do so, differences in urban form, resources availability, energy requirements, condition of buildings, infrastructure, and population and building density make city-specific analysis necessary. This study identifies 14 factors that urban planners should consider to make the most appropriate technology choices for a given city. Through consultation with 78 experts, the presence of renewable energy sources was selected as the most important factor, followed by economic conditions in the city. The least important factors were environmental consequences of global warming, eutrophication and acidification

    Energy self-supply estimation in intermediate cities
    (2020) Barragán Escandón, Edgar Antonio; Zalamea León, Esteban Felipe; Vanegas Peralta, Pablo Fernando
    © 2020 Elsevier Ltd Cities are responsible for more than three quarters of greenhouse gas emissions due to their intensive use of fossil resources. Hence, proposals to modify the current urban energy model have been established. The comprehensive inclusion of renewable energies in the urban area of the intermediate city of Cuenca will be analysed. In previous studies, it was established that five renewable technologies have the greatest opportunities for implementation in the city. Therefore, this research proposes a methodological approach to establish the impact of the inclusion of each of these technologies, and the Long-range Energy Alternative Planning (LEAP) model is used to establish the urban energy balance. Through the construction of scenarios and the evaluation of energy balances, it is concluded that it is possible to reduce the energy flows that enter the city by applying these five energy sources. The results indicate a self-supply potential of up to 33.9% of the total urban consumption; however, due to the type of local energy matrix, only 13% of this energy could be consumed under current conditions, and the remained would be surplus power. Photovoltaic (PV) technology has a significantly higher potential than the other technologies as it exceeds the electricity demand 3.19-fold. The conclusion is that the conversion of currently fuel-powered services to electrical power is necessary to maximize clean self-generation.
