Estudio deselección de una solución de energía solar en los edificios techné y lectus de la Facultad Tecnológica

Abstract

The present research evaluates the feasibility of implementing a photovoltaic solar energy system at the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, considering technical, structural, economic, and environmental factors. The study highlights how the integration of solar panels in buildings has increased over the last decade, driven by the need to reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Different types of solar panels and their support structures are analyzed, considering the challenges associated with their installation in urban buildings, such as weight, resistance to adverse weather conditions, and thermal efficiency. Additionally, government policies that promote the use of renewable energies and the long-term economic benefits of these systems are reviewed. The study concludes that the adoption of solar energy at the university would not only significantly reduce its carbon footprint but also serve as a model for other educational institutions, fostering research and awareness about renewable energies. Likewise, it would contribute to positioning the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas as a benchmark in sustainability and technology applied to education.
