Energy Efficiency Certification for centers of the Community of Madrid

GMD Solutions carried out the Energy Efficiency Certification for 16 centers of the Social Affairs and Family Council of the Community of Madrid during the year 2016. Here we tell you the details!

Throughout 2016, GMD Solutions accomplished the Energy Efficiency Certification of 16 centers of the Social Affairs Council of the Community of Madrid. Among the centers, the “Alicia Koplowitz” Residential Center for Patients with Multiple Sclerosis the Community of Madrid, located in the Vicálvaro neighborhood with more than 8,000m2 of facilities; or the “Nuevo Versalles” Care Center for Seriously Affected Disabled Persons, in Fuenlabrada, which has more than 5,000m2.

The project encompassed a total of 27,065m2 of surface area including various installations of heating, air conditioning, and DHW generation, as well as lighting with traditional technologies with a total annual consumption of more than 17.5MWh per year of associated primary energy and emissions of more than 4,050 tons of CO2.

Energy Certification of the centers of the Community of Madrid

Thanks to the different improvements proposed by GMD Solutions, the energy consumed could be reduced by more than 25%, as well as the associated CO2 emissions. Among these improvements are:

Replacement of lighting with LED technology

A complete study and inventory of all the existing lighting equipment in each center was performed, with a detailed proposal for change and an analysis of savings and amortization. The reduction in lighting consumption is estimated at over 35%, with amortization periods of less than 7 years.

Replacement of diesel boilers with condensing gas or biomass boilers

Given the age of most of the equipment used to generate hot water for consumption and heating, it was proposed to replace the existing boilers with new equipment using other types of fuels with much higher efficiency.

Installation of solar thermal panels to support the generation of DHW

The existence of large-area roofs in many of the centers represents a great advantage when it comes to generating savings in the production of Domestic Hot Water. For this reason, the implementation of solar thermal panels was proposed in order to reduce consumption for production by up to 40%.

Incorporation of enthalpy recovery equipment in existing installations.

Another major improvement was the recommendation to install enthalpy recovery units that not only allowed savings in air conditioning, but also significant improvements in the quality of the air inside the centers, where renewal was not always adequate.
