Diagnóstico energético en el Hotel SPA Termal Monte Selva del Cantón Baños Provincia de Tungurahua bajo la norma ISO 50001.

Abstract

The excessive consumption of energetic resources and the environmental problem motivated carryng out an energetic diagnosis un the humid area and ilumination systems in the Hotel Spa Termal Monte Selva applying the NTE INEN ISO 50001:2012 norm (Energy Management System). The project development deals with identifying and proposing the mores viable and economic technical and economic alternatives for the operational improvement and use of energetic resources; this implied the historical data collection of energetic consumption of the hotel equipment in a three-year period previous to the diagnosis. Later, the global analysis of the energetic consumption was carried out and the organization was classified by areas; with the Pareto diagrams the critical equipment as well as the problems present in the processes by importance order were identified. Also the ASME PTC 4.0:2008 norm (Testing Code for the Performance of Steam Generators) was used as the procedure to determine the boiler efficiency on the basis of the two stated methods: direct method (imput-utput method) and the indirect method (energy balance method). For the indirect method and to determine the heat losses in the steam distribution to the final uses, the software ENGINEERING EQUATION SOLVER (EES) was applied; this facilitated the water and air thermodynamic properties. Later, the pump yield was determined, knowing the piping and the accessory features of the systems in operation. Finally, the energetic, the energetic efficiency index (EEI) of the luminary systems was determined obtaining results which accomplish the NTE INEN 1152:84 norm (Natural illumination in Buildings). As a conclusion, it was evident that the equipment is not working in optimum conditions, the mayor problem is given for not accomplishing minimum quality standards (equipment construction under norms) and qualified technical advice. The active participation of the qualified personnel and the possible incorporation of the adopted improvements which have a recuperation of up to a minimum of 30% in the present study will guarantee the improvement in the energy performance.
