Rediseño de iluminación del gimnasio de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana, Sede Guayaquil basado en eficiencia energética

Abstract

This study addresses the objective of improving the lighting conditions inside a sports facility, the Salesiana Campus in Guayaquil was chosen in order to promote energy efficiency and achieve the correct lighting objectives or standards for sports facilities. An initial study of the current state of lighting was carried out, identifying deficiencies such as the lack of luxes (low light intensity), or the high demand of luxes, analyzing the high energy consumption and the inadequate distribution of luminaires. In the initial lux measurements, a value of 560 lx was obtained, which did not meet the lighting needs of the space. As a result of this analysis, an optimized design based on LED technologies was proposed, integrating modeling and simulation tools to guarantee an adequate lighting level according to international standards. The results after implementing the redesign, a value of 375 lx was achieved, which shows a reduction in energy consumption which is also a significant improvement in lighting quality in terms of luxes, a reduction in energy consumption and above all a greater environmental sustainability. With this redesign, not only will there be an improvement for the users, but it will also establish a guideline for other university sports facilities.
