Abstract
The purpose of this study has been to conduct an energy diagnosis research of the third level. An energy diagnosis is a tool aimed to seek improvements related to measures of energy efficiency and saving, and environmental conservation as well. These improvements would prove to be relevant for any kind of building. The diagnosis was carried out in 36 university buildings (Renewable Energy Institute—REI) through survey and census; that in order (to identify and) to characterize current patterns of energy consumption and demand, as well as for generating specific strategies towards energy efficiency and saving, for instance the identification of systemic indicators and corrective proposals, and non-financial investment. The results promote the achievement of grand energy efficiency. The task on energy conservation entails the supporting participation of each person who either studies or works in the entity, whereas some other activities require economic stimulus for being implemented. Annual per capita energy consumption in the REI is 40 kWh/person: that is greater than the country’s average consumption rate. The main energy consumption corresponds to Building 3.1 (49% of total energy consumption). This is due to its large concentration of laboratories specialized in renewable energy research and innovation.
Highlights
The building sector does not regularly exist as the one field that takes into account categorizing the final energy consumption
The energy supply for the REI is provided by the Federal Electricity Commission CFE as it was established in a contract for the H-M tariff (H: hourly; M: medium voltage)
This applies to energy services as it is of medium voltage supply, and the demand of 100 kW or more6 of 17
Summary
The building sector does not regularly exist as the one field that takes into account categorizing the final energy consumption. The ERC had 12,223 m2 distributed among 13 buildings, located in a total area of approximately 32,581 m2. According to this ED, for the activities performed in this institution, electric energy was required as the main source, in addition to small amounts of LP gas and diesel. The latter were needed to operate the emergency power plant, which was used sporadically when power outages in the area occurred [35]. In the present time it has 14,700 m2 distributed among 36 buildings (Figure 2)
