Abstract:
A study was conducted based on the theoretical construction of a three-story residential house from beginning to end, that included the following considerations: architectural, structural, environmental, and cost analyses; additionally, a commentary as to educational benefits to be gained by such an undertaking is also offered. Regarding the environment, the study considered LEED aspects and their impact in association with the design of the building. Among the efforts to make the building green are the calculation of associated costs that were likewise taken into consideration together with the savings in energy to ultimately be realized with the implementation of LEED features.
