Abstract

Abstract: One of the largest consumers of energy worldwide is the construction sector, which consumes around 40% of primary energy and is responsible for 40% of CO2 emissions. It also consumes around 16% of fresh water and 25% of the wood from the forests. (Aldossary, Rezgui, & Kwan, 2014; Cellura, Guarino, Longo, & Mistretta, 2015; Diakaki et al., 2008; Mikucioniené, Martinaitis, & Keras, 2014) Under this premise, the energy qualification and certification proposal for the building of the " Modalidad Abierta y a Distancia de la Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja " is presented. Proposal that is carried out using two tools to carry out the respective analysis, such as: CERMA for its acronym (Residential Energy Rating Abbreviated Method), and CE3X, corresponding to the Recognized Document for the Energy Rating of Existing Buildings. To achieve the proposal, it begins with a visit to the building that allows collecting information such as: data on the thermal envelope, surrounding obstacles, and energy consuming systems, to obtain in this way the qualification of the current state, which serves as support for the proposals for improvements and analysis through the aforementioned software, ending with a comparison between the proposals and a technical economic analysis that determines the profitability of the proposed improvements.
