La influencia de la correcta consideración climática en los certificados energéticos realizados en Canarias

Abstract

The energy certificate is a very useful tool, as it provides information on energy efficiency, the associated energy consumption and the CO2 emissions generated by these consumptions. But its application in the Canary Islands has encountered several problems. The particular conditions of the archipelago give rise to the fact that the climate of the islands is very different from the rest of Spain and also generate microclimates that develop an important climatic variety in a small area. This aspect, which was not initially taken into consideration by the ETC, has been progressively adjusted. This paper analyses the discrepancies between the different climatic zones proposed in the different areas of the archipelago to find out which are closer to the real conditions of the islands and the implications that these divergences have caused, such as situations with incoherent results.
