energy could be save, but this is an ambitious project
and the total implication of the Council is needed to
change behaviours and several energy vampires (some
machines, bulbs, boilers, etc.)

Definitely general actions in this building will be more
effective than concrete actions. The "Standby" campaign
had no a great effect in the total building energy
consumption, does represent some benefit in energy
savings. This is because of the large dimensions of the
building. The largest energy consumers are: lighting and air
conditioning. One of the air conditioning units is broken, so
the building now is “by default” saving money. The users
have changed some behaviours in this way, and will be
recommend not to use personal cooling systems and
instead use fans. Some other behaviours to change will be
related with the outdoor light use as well as the use of
curtains, awnings and blinds to reduce external heat from
affecting the internal temperatures. During the mild winters
of Cartaya natural light is recommended to light the
building. This will increase energy savings and decrease
energy consumption by taking advantage of the sun´s heat.
Other behaviours related with healthy recommendations,
include the minimization of using the lift and promote using
the stairs. It is also recommended no to use hot water over
40 degrees, not to drink cold water, use paper towels
instead of air machines, etc.
Baseline data on energy and environmental performance
will be established after the installation of the WeSave.
