Propuesta de calificación y certificación energética del Centro Regional SAN RAFAEL, perteneciente a la UTPL, ubicado en la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

Abstract: The present titling work focuses on the energy qualification and certification of the San Rafael regional center, belonging to the UTPL, located in the city of Quito using the CERMA and CE3X computer tools, applications that obtain said qualification with a detailed study of buildings of new or existing construction for the entire Spanish territory and thus improve the qualification obtained; These tools were used because there is still no development of similar applications for the Ecuadorian territory. The qualifications obtained make it possible to analyze the causes of a low energy qualification from the perspective of demand and emissions in heating and cooling, determining proposals for improvement on the thermal envelope and/or equipment to analyze the impact on energy efficiency and its economic feasibility. The main objective is to identify and analyze the systems with the highest energy consumption and the possible improvement measures that allow reducing this consumption and mitigating its corresponding environmental impact, thus improving its energy performance. Make a comparison between the qualifications provided by each determined tool which best fits the type of building under study and apply these improvements in any location depending on the climatic, geographical, cultural, economic, and social conditions.
