Abstract

Eco-friendly group housing emphasizes sustainability by integrating environmentally responsible design and construction practices. The existing body of research primarily centers on urban sustainability, leaving a significant gap for rural eco-housing in developing nations like India. In the present study, a multi-vector eco-housing modeling framework has been strategically developed. The framework presented in this study integrates multiple vectors such as energy, water, and waste, utilizing modern technologies like rainwater collection systems, greywater treatment plants, and efficient irrigation systems. A comprehensive survey collected data on housing type, location, type of construction material used, gender, social indicators, and livelihoods. PV Syst was used to optimally size and design solar-based net zero energy homes through data-based climatic analysis. Each household's water consumption and waste disposal were analyzed by calculating the usage/pax./day/activity and in kgs/day, respectively. Adopting solar technologies and practices, such as rainwater harvesting and waste management, led to a considerable reduction in resource consumption and environmental degradation. Eco-friendly houses promise long-term savings through efficient water management and reduced maintenance costs, fostering a healthy living environment.
