We help all kinds of industrial, service and government buildings to develop projects to achieve a more efficient use of energy.
In many human activities, energy consumption is essential to achieve its purpose. However, many times we are not aware of the importance of this energy resource and we forget the environmental impact of its production, transportation and use. That is why we develop energy efficiency projects.
Energy efficiency seeks to identify potential actions to reduce energy consumption.
The energy is converted into useful energy and losses. Part of these losses can be recovered by making important changes in processes and technology.
Our studies are the main source for the formulation and approval of sustainable development investments projects.
We support the creation of energy markets and energy efficiency .
General energy production and utilization process
Primary Energy
Fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas, and from nature such as wind, hydro, tidal, biomass and geothermal.
Transformation
Generally in power generation plants or oil refineries.
FInal Energy
Electric power, heat, gasoline and biofuels.
Equipment
Transforms energy into useful resources by means of machines.
Useful Energy
Cooling, Lighting, Motive Power, Direct and Indirect Heat, Air Conditioning, Refrigeration, Other ICT
UPME’s Utility Energy Balance
It offers a lot of useful information to concentrate efforts and look for results where the greatest impact can be achieved:
- the high potential of the transportation sector.
- Natural gas consumption in the industrial sector
- High efficiency in the use of electricity.
The transportation sector presents opportunities in terms of fuel productivity.
A quick analysis of the indicator of km driven per unit of energy, or unit of energy required to drive 1 km, gives a good indication of the differences.
