Abstract

The project consists of the installation of an environmentally sustainable habitation module for a vulnerable sector (In this case “Kyrios”, Rehabilitation Center); the module was built with waste plastic materials from different companies´ packaging processes. A photovoltaic system and a solar collector were included as well to meet electricity and thermal energy demands respectively. To guarantee housing conditions, different tests were performed to material, such as Mechanical Resistance, Thermal and acoustic Conductivity.
