Methodologies for the evaluation of energy efficiency in university buildings. Literature review

Various factors, as well as the use and type of activities carried out in buildings, play an impor-tant role in their efficiency and energy behavior. The consideration and knowledge of these factors, uses and activities are necessary to propose actions that help improve their energy performance and apply integrated solutions to their needs. Various methodologies are used to evaluate their behavior and energy efficiency. However, for university buildings, conventional methodologies need to be adjusted for their correct application. This contribution presents a li-terary review on the methodologies for the evaluation of energy efficiency in university buildings, which was carried out using a methodology oriented towards bibliographic and bibliometric analysis, respectively. The review allowed us to conclude that the methodologies for this purpose correspond mainly to audits, modeling and simulation, comparative evaluations, and advanced measurements.
