Abstract
Las actividades laborales y académicas realizadas en las Instituciones de Educación Superior emiten
gases de efecto invernadero que determinan su huella de carbono. En la Universidad de Sancti
Spíritus, la Sede Central es el campus de mayor área y de mayor consumo eléctrico. Por otro lado,
en el Docente I existe un centro dedicado al estudio e implementación de las fuentes renovables de
energía.El objetivo del presente artículo es calcular la huella de carbono por concepto de consumo eléctrico
de ambos campus y dimensionar una instalación solar fotovoltaica conectada a la red para cubrir su
demanda.
Para el cálculo se siguió la metodología de la Norma UNE-ISO 14064-1 y las Directrices del
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change de las Naciones Unidas. Para el dimensionamiento,
principios de diseño establecidos en la literatura.
Como resultado, se determinó que durante 2018 estos campus emitieron más de 314 t CO2 eq por
concepto de consumo eléctrico. Se calculó que tal demanda podría cubrirse con una instalación solar
fotovoltaica conectada a la red de 650 paneles policristalinos de 265 Wp, para la Sede Central y 200,
para el Docente I, lo que disminuiría su huella de carbono.
Academic and working activities carried out in Higher Education Institutions emit greenhouse gasses determining their carbon footprint. At University of Sancti Spíritus, the Central Campus is the largest area and the one with the highest electricity consumption. On the other hand, at Campus I there is a center devoted to the study and implementation of energy-renewable sources. The objective of this paper is to calculate the carbon footprint by electricity consumption of both campuses and to establish the dimensions of a solar photovoltaic installation connected to the grid to meet their demand. For calculating, the methodology of the Norm UNE-ISO 14064-1 and the Guidelines of the United Nations´ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change were followed. For establishing the dimensions, the design principles found in literature were considered. As a result, it was determined that in 2018 the aforementioned campuses emitted more than 314 t CO2 eq by electric consumption and accordingly, the calculating system concluded that their demand could be met with a solar photovoltaic installation connected to the grid of 650 poly-crystalline panels of 265 Wp for the Central Campus, and 200 for Campus I, consequently decreasing their carbon footprint.
