1.1.10 Maintenance of wood and aluminium windows frame Description Inspect regularly the windows frame and repaint it if there are cracks which can expose the timber or aluminium to moisture which cause corrosion of aluminium or decomposition of the timber. Lubricate and clean hardware components to avoid a faulty closure. Badly maintained [...]
1.1.11 Adding a low Emissivity (E) window film Description A low E film is an extremely thin layer of metal oxides, in the order of nanometers, which, if it is applied on the glass, provides a capacity of reinforced thermal insulation. The film reflects inward a part of the incident long-wave energy (heating), [...]
1.1.12 Adding a solar control window film The solar control film, easily applicable on window glasses, has the property of reflecting part of the solar radiation received, decreasing the amount of energy that passes through the glass. Benefits Solar films block 99% of UV light that fades [...]
1.1.14 Maintenance of room surfaces Description Rooms cleaned at regular intervals or painted in such a way that they have a high reflection coefficient over a long period are the basis for maintaining the high efficiency of the supplied light. Benefits Energy savings Improve comfort [...]
1.2.1 Turning off air conditioning systems when rooms are empty Description When leaving the room, even if it is for a short time, the air conditioning should be turned off. If possible, turn off the air conditioning 20 minutes before leaving, the air will stay cool during this time and there will [...]
1.1.3 Adjust the temperature of the thermostat properly Description Each degree the thermostat is raised above 21° (recommended set point for winter) implies an unnecessary waste of energy of up to 6-8%. While in summer, each degree below 25° (recommended set point for summer) implies an overconsumption of around 6-8%. [...]
1.2.7 Analysis of the combustion and maintenance of heating boilers Description The efficiency of the combustion of a heating boiler is defined by the air-fuel ratio. This ratio is fitted in the regular maintenance of boilers through the adjustment and cleaning of the burners. It is necessary to perform fume analysis periodically [...]
1.2.8 Replacement of the refrigerants fluids in heating and cooling equipment Description Refrigerants are fluids used for exchanges of energy in refrigeration systems. This measure consists in the replacement of the current refrigerant of the air conditioning equipment by a new refrigerant based on HydroCarbons (HCs) which is manufactured based on natural [...]
1.2.9 Adding or repairing boilers insulation Description Insulation of boilers is necessary to protect people against contact with hot surfaces and to ensure an acceptable working temperature in the boiler room. Insulation of boilers is a very efficient way to keep water hotter for longer, especially if the equipment is exposed to [...]
1.2.10 Proper operation of the regulatory systems of the temperature of the heating and cooling equipment Description A control system is a device or set of devices aimed at maintaining a variable at a certain value, or between certain limits set previously. This measure consists in the proper operation of one [...]
