 Building energy efficient
An energy- efficient building is one that
minimizes the use of conventional energy (in
particular non-renewable energy ) , in order to
conserve and make rational use of it. Energy
efficiency or energy efficiency arises from the
ratio of useful energy or used by a system and the
total energy consumed.
 It is necessary to establish a criterion to define the local energy. To the
extent that energy consumption per unit of product produced or the
services is declining, it increases energy efficiency.

Both the technology available, as responsable habits make it possible to

lower power consumption, improving the competitiveness of enterprises
and quality of life.
 Strategies for energy efficiency
Thermal insulation envelope (walls ,
ceilings and windows).
Reduction of heat losses in winter
infiltration.
Use efficient lighting using energy-
saving lamps.
Modernization of energy facilities in
the building and improvement of the
energy rating of the same.
