Gestión del consumo de la energía dentro de las organizaciones ecuatorianas en la nueva normalidad. Caso de estudio: sector TIC de Quito y sector productor de cacao en el Ecuador.

Abstract

One way to clarify economic, social and historical development is through the use of energy, it does not only represent the fact of consuming it, but it satisfies needs, produces goods and services, it is considered a debatable area due to the increase in emissions of carbon. Quantifying energy demand helps to understand energy production and consumption processes and understand the sustainable use of available resources. This research included a contextual analysis of the energy demand in two case studies: ICT Sector-Quito and cocoa-producing sector-Ecuador, under work proposals: Sustainable Development and ODS2030; Eco innovation models; Power consumption factors; and Energy context, obtaining a diagnosis and characterization of energy consumers, exposing variables and categories of the behavior of these organizations. Surveys were used as qualitative methods as measurable constructs and quantitative aspects as descriptive statistical tools and multiple correspondence tests for validation, structural models were used to harmonize this system dynamics and analyze its complexity. Integrating the premises in this study under the design and application of the surveys, allowed obtaining an explanatory model of energy consumption. The environmental perception of these organizations is latent because they exercise good environmental consumption practices, although empirically, their lack of knowledge in management systems, types of energy and environmental impact stands out. Data and statistics on energy serve to develop efficient national energy policies, and long-term planning for investment in this sector.
