Disminución de los costos y emisiones asociadas al consumo de energía eléctrica en las instalaciones de un colegio de la ciudad de Bucaramanga mediante la implementación de buenas prácticas y tecnologías eficientes

Abstract

The net effective capacity of the interconnected system in Colombia considers a participation of 30.58% of thermal energy sources from the incineration of fossil fuels (natural gas, coal or liquid fuels) for the generation of electrical energy, an activity that proliferates the GHG emissions. Therefore, the rational and efficient use of electrical energy (ERU) is a global environmental policy that allows reducing impacts from the development of clean development mechanism (CDM) projects associated with the quantification of GHG emissions inventories, carbon footprint or electricity generation emission factor (FEG). Therefore, in this study the environmental evaluation of pedagogical strategies and the implementation of efficient technologies based on good environmental practices and the replacement of equipment and lights are carried out in order to reduce corporate GHG emissions associated with the consumption profile in an educational institution. Likewise, the NPV, IRR and DPBT indicators demonstrate the financial viability of investing in CDM projects related to new technologies and ERU practices, achieving the guidelines set out in sustainable development goals No. 13: climate action and No. 7: affordable and non-polluting energy, since improving the energy infrastructure of an educational institution contributes to modern and sustainable advances for the country.
