Mexico – Colotlán.
Organisation : Universidad de Guadalajara.
The Preparatoria Regional de Colotlán is an educational facility located in Colotlán, Jalisco, Mexico. The building is used for academic, administrative and educational activities. It serves approximately 770 students and 45 staff members and operates from 9 hours per day. The facility has solar panels, LED lighting and inverter air conditioning. These systems form part of the building's energy infrastructure and are relevant to understanding its electricity consumption. Electricity is primarily used for lighting, computers, cooling educational equipment and other building services.
The main actions implemented to reduce the energy consumption of this building.
The facility has implemented energy-related measures that include the installation of solar panels and the use of LED lighting. These measures can contribute to reducing electricity purchased from the grid and improving lighting efficiency, respectively.
The building also uses inverter air conditioning to support indoor comfort. The efficiency of these systems, their operating schedules and their contribution to the building's overall energy performance require further assessment.
Electricity use is managed through operational practices that include switching off lights in unoccupied classrooms and reviewing electricity bills and consumption data.
These practices help avoid unnecessary lighting use and support the monitoring of the building's electricity consumption over time. Reviewing consumption records can also help identify trends and opportunities for further energy improvements.
Students, teachers and administrative staff are encouraged to switch off lights and electricalequipment when not in use and to make appropriate use of natural lighting and ventilation. These practices help reduce unnecessary electricity consumption while supporting the school's educational activities. Energy efficiency measures implemented at the facilityinclude solar power ass a main measure implemented, led luminaires and inverter air conditioning technology. These measures were intended to reduce electricity consumptionwhile maintaining suitable conditions for teaching, learning and administrative activities.
