    Análisis de eficiencia energética del alumbrado público en el sector El Girón en la ciudad de Quito
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2014) Pozo G., José P.; Universidad de Cuenca; Dirección de Investigación de la Universidad de Cuenca
    Light pollution is all-sky brightness caused by diffuse scattering of artificial light. On the premise that all generations have the right to unaffected land and sky an analysis was performed of the energy efficiency of public light installations, involving the measurement in situ of lighting parameters and the determination of lighting levels, preparing tables between what is required and what was measured. The research was facilitated by the design software company Ulysse v2.3 Schréder, and the data provided by the Empresa Eléctrica Quito. The study revealed the existence of energy "waste" values, being the result of 22% unutilized energy, resulting in economic and environmental costs. The latter was assessed as the equivalent to spilled oil, as to obtain a measure equivalent to the quantity of emitted greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This analysis took into consideration the demographic conditions in the sector, urban factors and possible effects on flora, fauna and humans.
