Propuesta de calificación y certificación energética del Edificio MULTIPLEX COMERCIAL, perteneciente a CNEL EP, ubicado en la ciudad de Guayaquil

Abstract

Abstract: This work focuses on the analysis and improvement of efficiency energy of the MULTIPLEX COMERCIAL building belonging to CNEL EP located in Guayaquil. The main objective is to develop a qualification and certification system energy, in order to identify and apply strategies that improve its performance energetic. To do this, a detailed energy audit is initially carried out, using specialized tools such as CERMA and CE3X, which allow evaluating precisely energy consumption and areas of greatest inefficiency. After the analysis, improvement strategies are proposed, both active (updating cooling and lighting systems, installation of cooling systems renewable energies) and passive (optimization of the thermal envelope through improvements in insulation and changes in solar gains in the gaps) to simulate and predict the energy behavior under each proposed scenario. The results show that the implementation of these improvements can lead to a significant reduction in the building's energy consumption, which is translates into long-term economic benefits and a lower carbon footprint. An economic viability analysis is carried out that considers the costs of initial investment compared to the projected energy savings, thus obtaining the case most favorable, which focuses on facilities with efficient equipment (cooling and lighting) from CE3X, offering savings of 17.6% in energy demand, a substantial reduction of CO2 emissions of 58.8% compared to the initial state and improving the energy rating of the building to an outstanding level (14.9 A Kg CO2/m2 and 56.3 A Kwh/m2)
