Propuesta de calificación y certificación energética del edificio de laboratorios de la Facultad de la Energía, las Industrias y los Recursos Naturales No Renovables de la Universidad Nacional de Loja, ubicado en la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: At this time, the construction and residential sector combined are one of the largest energy consumers and emitters of greenhouse gases. Consequently, energy efficiency in these sectors becomes an important mechanism and one of the most important development pillars of any society for combating climate change and reducing GHG emissions. In this context, the present work is developed with the objective of improving the energy performance of the Laboratory Building of Facultad de la Energía, las Industrias y los Recursos Naturales No Renovables belonging to Universidad Nacional de Loja, located in the city of Loja, through an energy audit and the use of EQC tools to identify the critical points of energy consumption in the thermal envelope and the facilities or equipment that the building has. Based on these, energy efficiency improvement measures are proposed to reduce the consumption of non-renewable primary energies, energy demand and GHG emissions.
