Renewable solar energy as the main power source

Sustainable Built Environments Senior Capstone ProjectThis research studies renewable solar energy as the primary power source for homes. The research question is based on how could climate change be mitigated by implementing solar renewable energy as the main power source in San Borja’s housing buildings? Homeowners benefit from choosing a sustainable housing building in terms of saving money and helping to reduce the effects of climate change through sustainable solutions and alternatives. Some case studies have shown that San Borja has started leading sustainable housing solutions based on renewable energy, and cost-benefit studies have supported the use of renewable energy. Data collection such as literature reviews, case studies from the study area, and surveys were developed to get accurate information for the research. San Borja is a potential area where renewable solar energy can be implemented in housing buildings due to the studies that have taken place there and the sustainable initiatives it is developing. This could bring Peru a new way to start using more sustainable solutions and alternatives to benefit people and the environment.This item is part of the Sustainable Built Environments collection.
