Project I+D funded by SENACYT under the code FID18-056<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Status:<\/strong> Finalizado<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Execution period: <\/strong>2019 – Agosto 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A critical barrier, when seeking to improve energy efficiency in buildings, is the lack of knowledge about the factors that determine the energy final use. Among them, six determining factors have been identified: climate, envelope, systems, interior design, operation and maintenance, and occupant behavior. Thus, this project seeks to evaluate different low-consumption technologies towards promoting zero-energy buildings in Panama. For this, it is contemplated to carry out a study of comfort by means of questionnaires, measurement of interior conditions and numerical models. The greatest impact on energy consumption is expected to be due to air conditioning, where the occupants' behavior and the structure of the envelope, are the primary responsible for this consumption. In the end, you want to suggest what technologies are needed in order to reduce consumption, depending on the case study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
