N2 - Studies show that the construction industry is one of the most pollutant and energy consuming. The environmental impact of construction leads us to develop alternative and more responsible ways of building. The team of the Con Lo Que Hay 14 workshop-With what is available 14 workshop (CLQH 14), developed the eco earth sandwich system in a small suburban community in the Ecuadorian Andes. The ecological footprint of this alternative construction system will be compared to three traditional systems: confined masonry wall, rammed earth wall, and drywall metal stud wall; testing their environmental friendliness. The different systems are quantitatively evaluated based on a mathematical formula through which the ecological footprint of the construction materials is determines. In all the systems, adding the same footprint for the transportation. Through this method we determine that the elements that are locally obtained or even taken from the site itself, adapted and produced are most environmentally friendly.
