GIULIANO, Gabriela; ORTEGA, Matías  y  GARZON, Beatriz. Energy diagnosis at the National University of Santiago del Estero, Argentina. An. Investig. Arquit. [online]. 2022, vol.12, n.2, e302.  Epub 01-Dic-2022. ISSN 2301-1505.  https://doi.org/10.18861/ania.2022.12.2.3253.

The results of an energy diagnosis are presented, carried out at the Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Tecnologías de la Universidad Nacional de Santiago del Estero, Argentina. The objective is to analyze energy performance and make proposals for greater building energy efficiency. The methodology consists of three phases: 1) Data collection, 2) Thermal-energy evaluation and 3) Identification and calculation of energy efficiency improvement measures for buildings. The analysis shows a high electrical consumption, where 64% corresponds to ambient cooling, 22% to lighting and 14% to various equipment. Subsequently, the decrease is observed with the application of a university building sustainability program. As a result of the proposed improvements, it is concluded that the energy efficiency index decreases by 17% in a first stage and it is proposed that it is possible to reach up to 38%, continuing with the implementation of improvements through a comprehensive management plan for the saving and energy efficiency, in order to reduce the environmental impact of the university.

Palabras clave : operational use energy; energy audit; energy performance index; efficient energy management; energy efficiency measures; sustainable university.
