Description
The Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) has been developing since 1996 a number of actions
and strategies to reduce the energy consumption of its 96 buildings.
From the collaboration agreement signed in 2006 with the Catalan Institute of Energy (ICAEN),
UPC has agreed to develop measures to encourage energy savings and enhance energy efficiency on
its own buildings, distributed over ten campuses.
One of the first actions carried out was the implementation of the Resource Consumption Efficiency
Plan (PECR), which culminated in 29 energy audits carried out on different types of buildings:
schools, sports facilities, libraries and administration buildings and services. These were performed
by Technical Architecture and Building Engineering students as a Final Degree Project.
