Diagnóstico del consumo de energía eléctrica en la planificación de un sistema de gestión y norma técnica de calidad ISO 50001:2011

Abstract

This research study presents a diagnostic assessment to create awareness about electrical energy consumption at the University of La Guajira, Riohacha campus (Colombia). The diagnostic assessment is performed using university energy bills for the years 2015, 2016 and the first period of 2017. The assessment also examines an inventory of the university's electronic equipment, strategic processes, key support processes, and evaluation processes. This research study was descriptive and used a non-experimental design in accordance with what is proposed on the technical standard ISO 50001: 2011. This standard is framed in a system of continuous improvement through a cycle (plan, do, verify, and act). It was determined that the consumption of electrical energy at the University of La Guajira was high due to irresponsible use of equipment and machinery. It is concluded that there is a need to implement monitoring programs and models.
