SUMAC seeks to support different institutions to implement energy efficiency measures in their buildings. Furthermore, SUMAC is the largest energy efficiency consultant in Latin America. Energy efficiency aims to control energy in all its levels and aspects, decarbonization, and resource savings. Here we share a bit about the Paseo Shopping Babahoyo project.

Paseo Shopping Babahoyo is the largest chain of shopping centers nationwide in Ecuador. It has supermarkets, food courts, shops, islands, banks, and cinemas. Thanks to SUMAC's quality work, Babahoyo obtained LEED certification. Given this, the energy saving in Babahoyo compared to average buildings in its topology was 25%. (Based on Energy Star and LEED)

Strategies Implemented

Furthermore, based on its consumption prior to the certification process, Babahoyo managed to save 10% with no implementation cost, equivalent to $54,000 dollars annually. In some cases, the investment is recovered in up to 24 months. Thanks to the improvement of the shopping center's operations, the following was carried out:

  • Identification of improvements in HVAC equipment maintenance.
  • Optimization of chiller use and optimal fan operation configuration.
  • Installation of a split air conditioning system for the main server.
  • Optimization of old skylights in the building and luminaire operations.

Through our consulting services, we take care of providing strategies to make structures more efficient and sustainable, generating greater profits for investors. Additionally, we help our clients improve the performance of their assets.
