They are houses that are made in a factory and then moved to the defined land.They are a faster and more sustainable option to get to your own home.Published on JULY 05, 2022Many are the people today who have difficulty accessing their own home.In times of crisis, the most economical and sustainable alternatives are an option for access to housing.In this case, a very viable construction method, and aesthetically pleasing, are modular houses or "container houses".This housing construction system is intended to provide a new alternative to traditional construction, reducing the amount of waste and increasing energy efficiency.There are several companies that offer this type of alternative and, in fact, many municipalities and provinces already welcome betting on them, in order to reduce costs and collaborate with the environment.There are more and more modular houses, also called "eco-houses", that have been built throughout the country and Mendoza is no exception: such is the case of the municipality of Godoy Cruz, which has already installed four homes for families that present conditions of critical overcrowding, variables of social vulnerability, health problems or disability.From Unidiversidad we spoke with Florencia Santoni, Secretary of Human Development of the Municipality of Godoy Cruz, so that she can tell us about this initiative.“It arises from the need to analyze different ways and forms of building sustainable housing.At the time, different alternative materials were being analyzed and for this, from the company Pampa Energía, they offered us the containers with which we began to work”, highlighted Santoni.“Eight containers were received from the municipality to build the first four 'eco-houses'.In this way, two containers are used for the building.The house has 60 square meters;It includes two bedrooms, a kitchen-dining room, a bathroom and an exterior laundry with an enclosure.In addition, the houses come already equipped with water, gas, sewage and toilets, ”she continued.Currently, they are already installed on the land located in Anillaco and Oceania.A square will also be built there, which was raised based on the need to provide a green lung and a recreational space for the area, with children's games and a green space.On this occasion, the project consists of four houses that will be destined for families that currently reside in neighborhoods surrounding the place.A post shared by Kubo Casas Containers (@kubo.com.ar)The modular houses or eco-houses are built to order, moved and assembled directly on the ground.In addition, they have an important advantage in terms of energy efficiency and are more sustainable compared to traditional construction.“When thinking about the project in an integral way, it is important to think and analyze how the house is going to be developed, in order to take advantage of all the materials that may result from the construction of the container houses.In this way, the internal and leftover panels of the containers can be reused to correctly insulate the cold and heat.Also, the leftovers can be used to make metal shutters and thus cover the windows and doors of the house, making them safer," Santoni said.A post shared by Montañés┃Casas Container (@montanesbrc)When thinking about this type of construction, it is necessary to consider what the advantages and disadvantages are in order not to make mistakes in the future.container houses modular houses own housing environment constructionIts objectives contemplate the expansion of current hydrometeorological monitoring capabilities ...The Ministry of Environment points to citizen participation in the National Action Strategy ...Argentine researcher presented a detailed report in Portugal.Analyze the effects of high...The UNCUYO media systemCopyright 2021 Unidiversity.All rights reserved
