Ecological constructions are those that, both in structure and construction, are respectful of the space and environment in which they are located, and make efficient use of resources during their useful life. This is where sustainable houses of bioclimatic architecture come in, which focus on optimising energy by adapting buildings to the climatic conditions of their surroundings (wind, location, vegetation, relief, etc.)
Self-consumption, energy efficiency, ecological materials and sustainable technologies are the common denominator of these constructions, which although they can be more expensive, their long-term amortization can mean an energy saving close to 70%.
In this case we are talking about passive sustainability, i.e. the physiognomy of the building itself is designed to optimise energy consumption by taking advantage of the characteristics of the climate, and if we use efficient equipment and renewable energies, they will be active sustainability actions. Examples of the first would be the installation of large well insulated windows to take advantage of the greatest possible natural light during the day, and the second, the placement of photovoltaic systems on the facade as this.
