Energy efficiency guides
In this article we try to understand in what is energy efficiency through of a glossary of efficiency manuals and guides energy intended for the technician or consumer. A compilation of technical guides and methodologies in the field of efficiency and effectiveness in saving energy in buildings.
From energy and thermal audit reports, energy certification, energy saving, Passivhaus, thermography, insulation, savings on household appliances, guides in lighting and lighting, hotels…etc.
Endless documentation guide on effectiveness energy a that we intend to update monthly and that we hope will serve you to complement your works.

Energy efficiency
Although the concept of energy efficiency is applicable to a wide sector, one of the most outstanding is the one that affects the building, so according to the scheme following efficiency criteria , we should pay special attention in the games of:
Criteria for efficiency
Expenses energetic
Determining and reducing spending energy and which points consume the most in A building is a need that we can identify in:
Now that we have a global perception, we can search our efficiency guide energy .

Definition of efficiency energy.
Regarding the definition of efficiency energy we owe ourselves focus on the Directive 2010/31/UE on efficiency energy in buildings (EPBD: Energy Performance of Buildings Directive) introduces the concept of Energy Consumption Buildings Almost Null , which are those with a level of efficiency tall .
The almost zero or very low amount of required energy should be covered, to a very large extent, by energy from sources renewables, including from renewable sources produced on site or in the environment. set for your application two dates: 31 December 2018 to all new buildings owned and occupied by public authorities and 2020 for all new buildings of any guy.
The energy consumption in heating , hot water Sanitary and refrigerated throughout of the summer in the constructions about forty percent of the energy consumption of the whole Community European.
It is necessary to estimate that a large part of the precise energy for our homes is generated with fossil fuels, whose carbon dioxide emissions contribute to global warming called the greenhouse effect), which generates alarming effects that, over time, may well turn into ominous.
As if that were not enough, the cost of energy has gone growing: energy bills are every day a little more unsustainable in the family economy. for such reasons, it is urgent to intervene to achieve a balance between energy and environment, respecting the right of future generations, in order to that they can live in a good environment preserved and rich in resources natural.
You cannot underestimate the contribution of energy sources renewables (sun, wind, water, etc.) and the increase in sacrifices for its development, since that in the coming years they will be energy efficiency measures that will produce more benefits at less cost: in truth, you usually are measures will generate economic benefits direct, which will also contribute to the development of new products and services.
With the use of technologies efficient renovators and free materials today and with a careful handling of systems efficient heating where we can learn more from the classification of air conditioning systems, current energy consumption in a home can be reduced even by forty – fifty percent, holding exactly the same conditions of comfort , or even improved with the coherent reduction of energy costs .
The strong impact that the field of construction in Spain leads to energy savings in this area is one of the most important challenges when it comes to limiting emissions and energy dependence from abroad.
The 3 main ways to get the savings of the energy are:
- Search Designs eco-efficient in the buildings
- Promote the employment of renewable energy
- Promote savings and efficiency in the use of energy through the promotion of equipment effective, innovation in materials and the awareness of users.
In addition to this, we must take into account consideration that all this must go united to achieve the maximum comfort in the residence.
Within the concept of energy efficiency us we meet architecture bioclimatic has the purpose essential to make effective use of the energy and resources guaranteeing some comfort conditions and environmental sustainability environment.
Sustainable construction is not a current term. Traditionally it have used measures that decrease the demand energy as orientation to south, the whitewashed houses of Andalusia, the locations in the towns, etcetera
– The concept of architecture bioclimatic reduces energy demand and therefore cooperates in an essential way in reducing the inconvenience environmental issues that result from it.
– Lets reduce consumption energy and thus save money on the electricity bill or of gas.
– Allows to reduce the consumption of water and also lighting. improve systems based on basic sanitation sustainable that brings benefits to the society.
– Get some conditions suitable for temperature, humidity, movement and air quality inside.
– Bioclimatic architecture leaves integrate the building with its environment and favors sustainability environmental.
