Guía metodológica de eficiencia energética en iluminación de centros comerciales para obtención de créditos de Energía y Atmósfera de la certificación LEED y aplicación en el centro comercial Megakywi Plaza Batán Samborondón-Ecuador

Abstract

In this paper, an energy efficiency guide is made for lighting for commercial centers, with which it is expected to obtain the energy and atmosphere points of the LEED certification for new constructions. As an application of the developed guide, lighting and control are designed and implemented in Megakywi and Supermaxi shopping centers located in Plaza Batán, Samborondón in the province of Guayas. The proposed measures are applied in the guide and the results obtained are analyzed. From the analysis after the installation, it is obtained that the Megakywi room reduced the lighting power by 43% (from 60 to 34 kW at the time of greatest contribution of natural light) with the help of the installed telemanagement system. It was determined that the maximum energy saving is 50% with the installation of LED luminaires and the control system. The local Supermaxi reduced the lighting power by 10 kW (from 27 to 17 kW at the time of greatest contribution of natural light) with the help of the installed remote management system. It was determined that the energy saving is 50% with the installation of LED luminaires and the control system.
