Abstract
Industries in different sectors are addressing the emission reductions of their processes. Several energy efficiency proposals have been developed by researchers. However, the complexity of most industrial sectors makes it difficult for modelers, businesses, and policymakers to appreciate and realize the full potential for efficiency-driven energy savings in specific industries. Thus, this paper studies the energy efficiency potentials within a vehicle store in Quito, Ecuador. Data on power consumption, operating hours, and consumption were recorded for each inventory item. The workshop was identified as a problem area when the data were analyzed by agency action areas. It is the part of the company with the most machinery and the most operational hours. Finally, proposals for energy efficiency were developed and examined using the internal rate of return and net present value. The proposals with the best applicability were specified using these two indications, resulting in the changing of lights, the use of a timer for the compressor, and the reduction of pump usage time, and lastly, the energy performance indicator and the energy use intensity of the building were calculated.
