Propuesta de Calificación y Certificación Energética del Edificio Gobierno Provincial de Los Ríos ubicado en la ciudad de Babahoyo Provincia de Los Ríos

Abstract

Abstract: According to (BEN) 2021, in Ecuador the residential, commercial, and public sector occupies the third place in energy consumption with 14%. Reason why this work aims, improve the energy performance of the Decentralized Autonomous Government Building Provincial of Los Ríos (GADPLR), located in the city of Babahoyo, Province of Los Ríos, carrying out an initial energy audit of the building, which will allow proposals to be made of improvement from the point of view of savings in primary energy consumption, not renewables, reduction in demand and greenhouse gas emissions. For this, the CERMA and CE3X simulation tools of European origin were used. This region being the most developed in the field of energy qualification and certification in buildings, with regulations described in the technical building code CTE. In the initial audit carried out, all the components of the thermal envelope were lifted, the existing electrical equipment and demands, whose information was entered in both simulation tools, allowing the initial energy rating to be obtained, then included 3 improvement options focused on the envelope, air conditioning equipment and implementation of a photovoltaic renewable energy system, which allowed reduce CO2 emissions by 70%, finally an economic analysis was carried out for its implementation knowing the savings and years of return on said investment.
