Gestión de eficiencia energética para las instalaciones del Liceo Juan Ramón Jiménez con enfoque en la iluminación

Abstract

Context: The concept of management and efficient energy in the education sector is a subject rarely addressed by energy development research in Colombia, despite the fact that it should be given the necessary priority, since it complements a correct and comprehensive national development plan. Historically little importance has been given to the care of energy consumption in educational institutions, even with the priority that should be given. Currently and thanks to the worldwide development of technologies and thoughts towards environmental sustainability, research on the subject is under development; some of these focused on the educational sector, thus opening the doors of research for the future. The purpose of this work is to provide some relevant data within the energy and educational sectors on issues such as energy management and efficiency, focusing on the lighting of a specific institution and exposing how research and field work helped to discover real data that contribute to the development of activities of this type in the school environment, both nationally and internationally, and providing some bases for their corresponding analysis, even in the future if required. Among the main information that will help to achieve the proposed objectives, information will be shown, such as the average monthly consumption billed in kWh (3,536.02), the average monthly lighting consumption (997.8), the total cost of the currently installed luminaires ( $13,058,533), number of areas that do not have adequate lighting (15 of 80) among other data such as lighting references, characterization of the electrical installation, economic and energy figures of possible solutions to energy management problems, etc. In this report, a methodological route, a management plan and a roadmap will be proposed that will allow the people who are part of the Juan Ramón Jiménez High School to acquire more knowledge about energy management, optimization and efficiency. In addition, it will focus on lighting, this being the field of greatest use in educational institutions and, therefore, with the highest energy consumption. Although this report is directed specifically at the Juan Ramón Jiménez High School, it is expected that in the future it will be applicable to other educational institutions with similar characteristics. Method: In order to achieve an appropriate methodological route and an effective action plan, the development of a study focused on energy consumption within the institution is proposed, seeking to end with a result that proposes an improvement in the habits and final values of this within of the installations specifically in the lighting sector.
