ANÁLISIS Y COMPARACIÓN DE MEDIDAS DE AHORRO ENERGÉTICO MEDIANTE CURVAS DE COSTE MARGINAL

Abstract

In the European Union, almost half of the energy consumed belongs to the building sector. This, together with the commitment to achieve the Kyoto Protocol levels, in terms of energy consumption and emissions of greenhouse gases, has led to changes in the legislation of the sector, directing it towards attaining buildings of low energy cost.

In Spain, from 1st June 2013, it is required to make the energy performance certificate available to buyers and/or users every time buildings or units thereof are built, reformed, rehabilitated sold or rented. For existing buildings, the certificate will include a proposal of a series of measures to improve the energy rating, and the impact of each measure will be indicated.

The aim of this work is to study, in detail, the results obtained after implementing energy saving measures in existing buildings, through the creation of marginal abatement cost curves, showing the results in savings obtained in relation to the cost of implementing the measure.
