Within the framework of the Euroclima+ program, energy audits were conducted in municipal buildings in Argentina.
The buildings were studied using information provided by the municipalities and information collected by the auditors. A program was then developed to obtain energy demand results based on the methodology of the national IRAM regulations. Based on this, it was found that the buildings do not meet adequate hygrothermal comfort conditions despite consuming a lot of energy. The proposed improvements achieve a reduction in energy demand of at least 40%.
