In a world where energy consumption is more than the
production capacity, there are various reasons that give more force to the
lacks when it comes to providing electric service: climatic phenomena, slight
investments in this area, and the lack of technologies in order to generate
resources.
Engineers and architects are before an enormous challenge and an
engagement with the environment. In
most of the countries, the construction sector demands more than 50% of energy
consumption globally. It is necessary to
create alternative in other to sharpen the use of energy from the execution of
works to the occupation of the building.
This new labor tendency is under a sustainable construction parameter
that marks a milestone in the real state world. Reducing
effectively the energetic requirements and incorporating technologies, introducingenvironmentally friendly materials and practices is the common
pattern in those enterprises interested on contributing to the planet.
The new technologies represent the best ally in the construction sector.
There is specially designed equipment that guarantees the rational use of
electric energy. Using illumination in a
defined schedule is an excellent option to save some money and to have more
efficient energy consumption.
The programing ofsystems based on movement sensors make easier the
process because they detect the presence of workers in every space and they
reduce the unnecessary use of energy.
The combination of natural and artificial light is the perfect formula to promote an
efficient work. It is time to integrate new elements in constructions such as solar and Eolic power since they are the best
options to avoid using electric energy.
It is necessary to
take some measures that allows to have a harmonious work with our planet: - · Using low-consumption illumination known as saving light bulbs
- · Renewing machinery and equipment that demand less energy
- · Avoid leaving chargers plugged and eliminating the “stand by” option from electrical gadgets.
The process of
adaptation of the construction
enterprises to these work formulas may vary regarding the economic
possibilities and the intentions of the people in charge. These small steps
will take us to a goal. The results will be greater as long as more companies
join to these initiatives.
