Abstract: The thesis project addresses the problem of energy consumption in homes in Quito-Ecuador, focusing on the renovation of refrigerators as a key strategy. Refrigerators are The thesis project addresses the problem of energy consumption in homes in Quito-Ecuador, focusing on the renovation of refrigerators as a key strategy. Refrigerators are responsible for approximately 30% of electrical consumption in Ecuadorian homes. However, many homes still use refrigerators that are more than 10 years old, which significantly increases energy consumption and generates higher costs for families. This project seeks not only to reduce energy consumption and electricity bills, but also to support environmental conservation. With this work, we will try to motivate the acquisition of refrigerators with cutting-edge technology and greater energy efficiency. Additionally, all the economic and environmental benefits of replacing old electrical appliances with more efficient appliances are shown. The execution of this project includes the education and awareness of users about the benefits of acquiring a new refrigerator and the development of recycling programs. In summary, the energy-efficient refrigerator renovation program in Quito is shown as a comprehensive solution to improve the family economy, reduce the environmental impact and promote a more sustainable use of energy.
