Trough the development of a new energy model focused on self renewable energy production and energy management in some sectors, such as lighting and compressed air. It is expected that this model leads to energy savings with environmental advantages (lower greenhouse gases emission). This may grant access to eco-sustainable certifications/awards as a factor of competitiveness, as well as economic benefits. The methodology followed to design the new energy model was developed from an energy audit to characterize the existing consumptions and use of energy.engEnergy EfficiencyEco-sustainableEnergy ModelCertificationconference paper10.1109/iyce.2013.6604193
