      abstract = {This book analyses the evolution of the construction  systems and the required materials in Ecuador from 1980 to  2020, from different perspectives including environmental,  economic, thermal behaviour, modulation design, and  integrity of construction. It focuses on the relationship  between energy and the evolution of construction in the  Andean region of Ecuador. The theoretical framework of the  book shows the extent of quantitative data collected from  several sources and experimental data from studies carried  out in local buildings. It gives a heritage-environmental  perspective of building materials from Cuenca city, which  has received the nomination of Cultural Heritage of  Humanity. This book will help construction industry  professionals, architects, and designers to make  sustainable decisions for future construction, focused on  different components of a building. Readers can extract a  set of guidelines aimed at solving thermal, environmental,  aesthetic, and even heritage issues of the construction  sector of this region, from the specific perspective of  building materials. This book is a translation of an  original German edition. The translation was done with the  help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the  service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done  primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read  stylistically differently from a conventional translation.},
